Topic: Hello from Israel
Just wanted to introduce myself and say what a pleasant and interesting place this is for all us Joe B nuts out there.
I'm joining the forum because I think I'm dangerously close to becoming totally obsessed with Joe and have worn down all my family, friends and pupils with my constant rambling on about his awesomeness!! So I thought that I'd give them a little rest and come on over here instead, where hopefully people won't ask me to change the subject!
I hear LOTS of guitarists, and because I'm a guitar teacher and practicing musician, I also have a pretty good understanding of what it is I'm hearing. I have never heard ANYONE quite like Joe. There are many, many amazing musicians out there but no one has managed to communicate with me quite as well as Joe does. He just pulls at my heart every time he plays or sings and manages to inspire me so much every day that for me, he is quite incomparable. Not since I began studying Bach many years ago, has someone had that effect on me.
Any way, that's why I (and probably a lot of people) love Joe so very much - he's an amazing communicator.
Looking forward to hanging out with what seems to be a really nice crowd and waiting patiently for my hero to come and play in Israel where he has a lot fans......
