Topic: Intro

lol Ive been floating about for quite a while now and Ive not actually introduced myself !!

My names John (doh) from UK Im 23 and Ive been playing guitar for 3 years and im in a blues band (though I aint particularly good). I first saw Joes name on fulltones website (saying he used a pedal or somet daft) I usually check peeps out when theres a mention so I did You Up Set Me came up totally blew me away, the rest as they say is history.

I was meaning to go see him in feb but due to work commitments I got stuck missed a few others aswell sad But I got tickets for July and hopefully I can get time to see him again after smile

Im a network engineer though it aint what I thought it would be when I left UNI smile When funds permit im gonna go back to UNI and hopefully do something musically inclined...

What else hmm...

Fav artists..

Norah Jones
Tom Waits
M.Ward
Joe obviously
Hendrix
Rory Gallagher
Actually I could prob sit here reciting names all day tongue

Welcome to the Forum John - better late than never!!!  So glad you're with us and that you've checked in here so that we know a little bit about you.  I agree with Cathy, you have some fabulous taste in music......we have many favorites in common (FIRST AND FOREMOST JOE, OF COURSE)......and, strangely enough, I was just listening to this, from Mr. Waits......

P. S.  Glad you've got tickets to a Joe show....but, again, I agree with Cathy - DON'T MISS ANOTHER SHOW!!!

I know that Joe could play one of those kid's guitars with the plastic strings and make it sound good-
