Somehow Phil, I managed to make it thru the day, after all - although - even after crawling into bed after 2:00 AM, I was awakened 4 or 5 times by the noisy cars of teenagers and the paper man!  A long day, indeed.......and now, here I am again (but it's only 12:30!!!)

How did the Joe-loading go?

Short form of the Serenity prayer:

Oh well, F*** it.

Do y'all remember when I started this thread about 6 weeks ago?  If not - you can go back and read the first post - but the short story is that among the MANY, MANY gifts that Joe Bonamassa has brought to my life ....... he also brought an old friend back into it ....... (want more details?  you'll have to go back to page 1, post 1) 

SO, guess who just called me, from Jacksonville?  That's right, our old friend Mike - the initial subject of my thread.  Guess where he was?  Uh-huh.....that's right....... GUESS WHO I COULD HEAR PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND???  Yep, that's right again  ...... JOE ........ Joe's voice AND Joe's JB LP......  and Carmine .......  and Bogie  ........  and Rick ....... !!!!! 

"What are you DOING, calling ME NOW!!!!??!!!" I said.  Well, he'd bought a drink, and they wouldn't let him take it in - so, they were gonna drink them and then go in - but, "Don't worry" he tells me, "we can see him from the window."  "WHAT??!!  The WINDOW??!!!  GUZZLE THOSE THINGS DOWN AND GET IN THERE - NOW!!!!" 

He said he'd call after the show.  Whew!  After I hadn't heard from him in a few weeks, I was afraid he had decided NOT to go (or something EQUALLY INSANE AND REGRETTABLE)!!!

I called back quickly, and left a message.  "You gotta stick around afterwards Mike.  Try to meet Joe and the guys AND look for a tall, lean well dressed guy named Big Jeff Jones .... he'll have a pretty woman on his arm and will be hangin' out with the bass player, Carmine Rojas."  Best I could do under the circumstances......

They are havin' a great time in JAX right now ....... I feel a teeny bit like I'm there with them.

Ahhhhhhh yes............. the GIFT that keeps on GIVING !!!!!!!!

Well - Mike called me, after the show was over - and, sadly, having NOT listened to my message, he was already on the road home - so, he didn't meet Joe, the guys, or any forum members, THIS time around.  That's the bad news.

The good news, is that he sounded EXACTLY like any first timer - you know, "OH MY GOD!!" and then the ever-ill-fated attempt to describe exactly HOW good Joe was, and WHO he sounded like, only, BETTER, you know........yes Mike, of course I know.  We only spoke for a moment, as he was fighting traffic.  I'll see if I can get a more complete report out of him, once he is able to fully retrieve the bottom portion of his jaw from his lower extremities, and he regains the ability to speak.

So - that's the HAPPY ENDING to my FIRST case of hey-let-me-tell-you-about-JOE-BONAMASSA-who's-about-to-appear-in-a-theatre-near-you-TRUST-ME-you-gotta-go-see-Joe-but-you-live-outta-state-so-I-can't-throw-you-in-the-car-and-take-you-myself-so-you're-just-gonna-have-to-trust-me-on-this-one.  And, of course, a beautiful night was had by all.  Well, of COURSE!!!  Didn't I say TRUST ME???!!!!
