VERY WELL DESERVED JOE,

And for the first time ever, in England at least,

When I walked into HMV in Oxford Street last week there was

rows of  Joe's CD's on display!!!!!!!!!!! 

Went into W.H.Smiths, and Joe's on the cover of another Magazine 'Guitar Techniques'

AND someone at work had actually heard of Joe.

Awesome, the Power of Joe.........
