Joe playing with the Screamin Cheetah Wheelies

I remember it like it was yesterday... I took the train up from Washington DC ( home at the time)  to do that for Mike and the gang.. We all came up together at the same time in the early 90's... Bloodline , Cry of Love , Screaming Cheetah Wheelies ( who in 1993 blew us off the stage at a club called the Sting.) and Brother Cane.  I spent two days in NYC writing with folks and took the train back with my 62 Es-335 in tow.  I remember getting home late.. on the night of the 10th My girlfriend rang the house around 8:30 am  the next morning from her work and said put the TV on something horrible has happened.  Just then the phone went dead and I heard the F-17s flight over the National Cathedral ( which was right next to the apartment..)  I ran down Embassy row toward Dupont Circle to get my girlfriend and saw para military and black suburbans everywhere with men with AR-17's pointed at anybody who looked at them.  It all seemed surreal..  But that was what it was like  on Sept 11, 2001 in Washington DC .  I look at that video and remember New York City especially downtown where the Wetlands was before it was changed forever..  Great video and great memories of a world that used to be somewhat easier to understand.. 10 years ago.. How time flies and how times change..

BIG LOVE to Jane (The Living Joe Encyclopedia) for getting to Roy (The "V") to share with us all and as always Joe you tell such great stories.  I do hope you have a journal or something that you have been documenting your life's travels....of course with that "steeltrap" memory of yours you probably can recall everything.....waiting patiently for the Joe autobiography part 1....you've been at this so long you could write many...and then it could be a made for TV Joe series.......yeah,yeah, I know I'm getting carried away now       Hippity hoppity........

P.S.  Of course Joe, you would have to star in your own movie, because there wouldn't be anyone else who could do you, like you would do you......starting to sound like that old

"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant"         

P.S. P.S.  Maybe I should consider decaf today

Thanks for bumping this back up at this time Jane.  Appreciate the vids as well as Joe's comments about 9-11.

Joe,

I just saw you today in the video with the Screamin Cheetah Wheelies and noted the 9.8.2001 date and posted on FB today that you were in NYC 3 days prior to 9/11.  I had not seen your post here from 2011 and was just given the link today by Liz Horseman.  Thanks for sharing your experience here for everyone to see.  I'm sure that the word surreal didn't really adequately describe what you guys experienced!

Three years later after your 2011 comment above, the world is even more f'd up and has not changed for the better...well, except for your music that you share with all of us and for that we thank you.
