Topic: PA. Bonaholic

It's about time I introduced myself. My name is Dave, and I'm a Bonaholic. Been registered & "lurking" here for a while. Just not a big message board kind of guy, I guess. But I do like reading evryone's opinions in here, which is why I always visit. I personally discovered Joe's music about a year & a half ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I own every CD & just about every boot out there. Just got my RAH DVD along with a pick tin (I don't even play!) . Have just about every shirt, the coffee mug, posters etc. I can't get enough. My 7 yr old daughter has told me "You're addicted to Joe Bonamassa!".....and she's right! I've been fortunate enough to see Joe live at the Berks Jazz Fest, Penn's Peak & twice at World Cafe Live. And each time I got to meet him. What a cool dude. I already have my tickets to see him at the Keswick Theater in April. But anyway......Hello! I'm gonna cruise over to the General Topics area and post some links to some of my videos.

Glad to hear from you Dave. Sounds like alot of the fans here including the not necessarily message board people part. How did you first hear about Joe?

I don't recall what website I was on, but someone started a poll asking who are the top 5 guitarists you'd like to see perform live together. I noticed Joe's name came up on quite a few of the lists and it made me want to find out who this guy was. Checked out some clips on YouTube, then went to iTunes & bought Shepherd's Bush. After that, well, you know.....

Re: PA. Bonaholic

Thanks for the kind welcoming everyone!

Audio - Berks Jazz Fest was awesome, aside from the overzealous security. They tried to make me delete my pics & vids, but I argued & promised not to take any more & they finally gave up!! I was in the 2nd row there and I had shivers down my spine & the hair on my neck stood up the whole time. Amazing.

Angela - Thanks for offering, but I will have to pass on Ian Anderson. But I am psyched for Joe's Keswick show. I will be bringing a couple newbies with me. Should be a great night!
