Greenville, S.C. and Verona, N.Y. Shows

On Thursday, June 12th, we left Orlando for the Greenville, S.C. show that night. Speaking with alot of the fans, they had recently discovered Joe through Joe's Sirius programs. The show was excellent and the audience was really got into it. Joe and the band hung around and met with fans afterward.

On Monday, June 16th, I drove past the Bonamassa homestead in Utica and saw the tour bus parked out on the street. I gave an unintrusive "beep" as I went by.

On Tuesday evening, Joe returned to his homeland to perform to a sold out audience of just over 800 at the Turning Stone Casino. Joe and the band were fantastic and Joe asked the audience to watch over his Mom and Dad while he is away.

My family and I were front row, in front of Carmine. I was with my 72 year old parents and they are now hooked. I will be looking for Joe's past 4 c.d.'s in the morning to buy for my Dad. Especially the Blues Deluxe c.d.

Can't wait until next time.
