To all the Newbies (Page 8 of 19)

Yeah, I haven't welcomed the newbies for a while either... so... WELCOME ALL NEWBIES!

--Vik

Welcome one and all!!! Thanks for the reviews!!! I've been SO busy with work I've only had time for quick lurks. I never worry that this place will get stale. A large part of that is the constant inflow of new fans. We are multi-generational and intergalactic...doesn't get much better than that. So a huge thank you for coming into Joe's house..It's a great place!!!

(again, just one letter - ed)

Once again I can't keep up with all the new members. That's great news. Welcome to all!!!Yes, it's a quiet time here on the site, but things will pick up quickly when the tour starts. Until then, enjoy and get ready for Black Rock!      Cathy

Greetings fellow Bonamassic Kinfolk,    I thought I registered a  couple years back after the Grants Pass show, but apparently it was the middle of last year. So after you read this, you'll see why I try to stay away from this site/forum....  I've been to a million gigs and that one was perfect! From the awesome people in line from Portland, Bend and especally Medford..swapping stories and people asking "have you seen this guy before?", to the show itself..which went by too quick because it was SO good. The house lights come on after Joe squeezes every last drop out of "Asking Around for You" (first encore song was "Your Funeral My Trial" for you junkies out there), we were all doing a standing 8 count there stageside, with the deer in the headlights look at each other in that universal state of euphoria that makes everyone think and say the same thing instantly.....Everyone in the 1st row or 2 agreed to meet at the same place at any and all future Bonmassa events in Oregon...and after waiting patiently and having withdrawl symptoms in '09...it's gonna happen again...4 TIMES ! By the way, before I continue to vent...does anyone know the guy from Medford who's been diehard Joe friend from back before the Ford F-350 cargo van days? I hav'nt had time to surf profiles, but we had great chats w/ he and his wife next to us at Grants Pass....and like all Bonamassa fans..everyones cool, happy, friendly..and like family by the time a show is over. Some kind of unique connection and bond that not too many bands or musicians, if any can bring out of their fans. It's great to be a part of this family and to unselfishly pimp all things Bonamassa. By the way, for the record ..I'm listening to the new Gary Moore Essential Montreux, disk 4 as I write this and I hope Joe has it by now. Gotta give credit where due to Murfdog for coming though in countless Bonamassic ways and many others music wise. He's been a partner in crime of all things Rock or Blues for years. He'll probably be on here more than me, as this and the Ted Nugent or Gary Moore sites can draw you into a vortex of massive time loss and bloodshot eyes. So with that, I'll wrap it up for now and check in time to time.

Time for another round of welcoming to all the newbies. If' you've looked into your soul and recognized your Bonaholism, this is the place for you!

Hello, welcome, enjoy, and keep posting once you've introduced yourselves. I'd also like to suggest that newbies making their first posts start a new topic rather than posting here, where their contribution might not be so easily seen.

That means you, kdunny, amongst others.

I guess you can call me a newbie to the Joe B world.  I discovered him about a month ago from an old classmate from high school.   He brought Joe to my attention because first his playing is so Great and secondly because we are from Utica, NY home of Joe(NewHartford).  I couldn't believe this man's talent when I started listening to his playing.  We immediately bought tickets for the Boston show coming up.  I am so excited to have discovered Joe.  Smiles to you all and so glad to have found this site.....tom:)

Hello All

I was introduced to Joe's music when a friend of mine in England heard tracks from Ballad of John Henry being played on BBC Radio 2 while driving and was so floored by them he literally had to pull over and listen. He called me up and said "go to Radio 2's website RIGHT NOW and listen to this!!" I did, and that was that.

I grew up in a family where my folks knew a lot of the musicians from the 60's and 70's we all know the names of. Suffice it to say they know their **## when it comes to raw talent. When I played my Dad the RAH DVD, he said, very coolly "he's not bad, is he?" which is high praise indeed.

I'm the blonde tapping away on her steering wheel at the end of the "Merry Christmas baby" video. Those are my babies rocking along.

Thanks for making all of us who only just thought to log on welcome.

Cheers
