San Diego Balboa Theater

First, a shot of my Meet and Greet with my mother, wife and niece, and a story. Mom is probably Joe's oldest fan at 91. She introduced me to Blues at an early age, as well as all music. She was a pianist and singer in her youth.
When we showed up for the meet, I picked up the 4 will call tickets for the litho and asked for the two more I had separately purchased for mom and niece with wheelchair seating since she doesn't get around as well as she used to. I was informed that the tickets had been canceled!     There was no way to get mom into the show since it was totally sold out and I had promised the other pair to friends from out of town. Oh well, she said, lets go see Joe and do the preparty and we'll go home. I was devastated! We go into the meet area and sat back to let the crowd thin, I shot Rockfarmer's guitar signing and finally, helped mom up to see Joe. He was very nice and cordial with her and chatted a bit, then asked if she was seeing the show. Well, no I said and explained what had happened. Joe turns to Warren and says "Go see what we can do." We hung out and after a bit, here came a wheelchair and attendant pair of tickets. I have heard of things happening but this was miraculous! Joe, you are once again, THE MAN! Words cannot begin to describe my gratitude! Here we are. https://picasaweb.google.com/Elexmage/R … 5254879186

After the meet, we went across the street to the Hard Rock Cafe where the group gathered for a cocktail party. Here is the crew. https://picasaweb.google.com/Elexmage/2 … 3218863826
After the show, I asked mom what she thought, "I was blown away", she said, "especially Woke Up Dreaming! Joe really rocks!"

Oh Lord, let us all keep rocking to this ripe old age!
