The exciting thing for me was this: At the end of the Sac show I noticed Joe throwing his pick out into the audience. Now, my girlfriend had scored us front row center seats at the Palace of Fine Arts, and I went into the show hoping to catch the pick. Sure enough, Joe threw his pick, but it landed somewhere on the ground in front of us. I dove down, and a bit of light caught it and I scored the pick! It may seem silly, but I was psyched.
It'd be great if a tiny bit of Joe's guitar mojo came along with it, but I've not yet tried it

A bit of light...It may seem silly but I was psyched.
A bit of light indeed. It was meant to happen I assure you. I know what it means but...Can't explain. I think it's love...That was a fine example of this is not just another artist or fine arts exposition. There's somethin' goin' on and even Len B can't explain it all, he just knows it's so. Even if you never use that pick, there's somethin' goin' on there. I recently posted about a pick toss which was one of three during the introduction to Blues Deluxe which were part and parcel of the show for a short time last year-incidentally that fast riff has ended up on Black Rock, for those with discerning ears. Anyway the third pick was tossed high in our area down front, away from me, as I had made a series of motions which Joe saw, to toss the last one high and away (the others had been straight out and fast, this one he took a "bit of time" to throw) from me. No one came up with it, either in the dark or later with more than "quite a bit of light". I think it went back into Joe's own pick tins some how and you are now the recipient by your own wish fulfilled thinking.

“Now, this isn’t your ordinary party crowd, here. I mean, there are professionals in here.”
I hope the magic flows from that pick to your fingers. Join the throng and post often.
