Re: Group Hug for Joe !

"I am as shattered as a human being can be after that grueling 20 hour flight from Sinapore to Newcastle. Jetstar airlines, Worst ever! 5 grand in excess baggage and they "tried" take the 59 from me as a carry on. Half sold airbus 320.. **** You!! I will not in good conscience give some airline hack a 200,000 dollar guitar because they said so... again... **** You!!"

I think id make the road crew go in the hold before i put my 59 in there personally (if i had one of course  tongue )

Guitars: Gibson JBLP Studio, Gibson LP '58 Reissue VOS Washed Cherry, Gibson LP Standard Ltd Edition Manhattan Midnght Blue, Gibson LP Custom Black Beauty 3PU with Bigsby, Gibson SG Standard, Fender Telecaster Jimmy Page Custom.

Re: Group Hug for Joe !

I've got it....Joe needs to disguise the 59 as a girl.....get a mannequin head that would fit over it and then a dress,etc...put in wheelchair and say, "My girl is handicap, I'll take care of getting her in her seat...."     lol    lol     lol     Okay, maybe I love Joe too much that I would think of these extremes for him..........  lol     lol     lol

Re: Group Hug for Joe !

Ah good old Jetstar.  Unfortunately a pretty bad airline when it comes to service in the air.  Whenever I fly, I will almost always pay extra to fly a 'real' airline instead of a budget one like Jetstar.  Sadly, service overall is going down the tubes rapidly with nearly all airlines, but at least with Qantas or Singapore Airlines, you are treated like a human...

On an aside note - so happy to hear that Joe is bringing the '59 to Aus...

Re: Group Hug for Joe !

Do I hear a new Facebook-group: "We hate Jetstar - who fu¤&% with our favourite bluesguitarist"?

I'm already singing a new lyric to Another Brick In The Wall:
Jetstar! Live that "kid" alone!

Come on! Sing along! :-)

You can't have your '59 if you don't eat your airplane meal meat!

Re: Group Hug for Joe !

C'mon Joe!!! If you can afford a 200K guitar you can afford a first class ticket from Singapore to Newcastle, given your hectic schedule!!! That said, your travel agent needs some 'one handed applause' right behind the ears.... tongue In that part of the world I would travel Cathay, Singapore, Qantas or Thai.....

...and 20 hours?? What were they doing....taking you there by cattlewagon..... lol  lol Singapore to Sydney is about 9 hrs non-stop.....

Soooo many roads..........soooo many planes to flyyyyy.........

But on a more serious note, I hope you tear it up down under!!!!

Don't mess with the '59

Re: Group Hug for Joe !

I can only imagine being wiped out ,drop dead exhausted and having to put up with alot of BS from someone who doesnt have a clue doesnt care and trying to wield some Bs authority they have. But thats travel these days I guess.

Didn't really have the experience you had Joe, but 16 hours from LA to Sydney, without a TV or call button had us fuming on Quantas. Poor service and cattle class is not a good receipe to get returning customers. Flying Etihad in September. Quantas can go .........!

and beauty queens!  Love the Thais. *sigh*  A story for a laugh:

Right after first son was born (who is now 22 and back at home.  help me Jesus.) I took the DivineOne to my favorite Thai Restaurant down in the south end where worked a sultry exotic beauty, with whom  I was completely enamored.  She was lovely and liked me, but father & brothers gave me the iron face.  I spent money and always ate well, so they were professional.

Anyway, we walked in and MsBangcockLove lit up, took the baby out of mommy's arms, and disappeared into the kitchen.  MsTia freaked.  She figured out right quick, big daddy has been here before.  Dao reappeared with child seat and put us in this hidden circular booth. You know the table where the kingpins hold court...

Ten minutes Papa Joe was there complimenting the Mrs. on beautiful child, and I was a good guy and so on n so forth.  Brother Large shoved flunky aside and waited on us himself.  It was a good night. 

I got the feeling there was some relief there, that I was not a complete rogue trying to play their star.  tongue
Yeah go Thai.

MuchLove

Re: Group Hug for Joe !

Emirates are my fave airline. If they fly the route I'm taking I always go with them. I've taken guitars onboard with no hassle in my trusty leather Reunion Blues gig bag....in fact on one flight the captain wanted a quick strum in the cockpit of my Tele!
Anyay, I'm impressed you take such a valuable piece of history to such far flung destinations, its so nice to see them played than hanging on walls or locked in vaults and ignore those nuts on FB who scoffed at its value, like I said on there if YOU don't deserve one then who does? Bankers? Lawyers? Way to go JB, enjoy it mate....its well earned.

Re: Group Hug for Joe !

Here's another one comin' at ya Joe!   cool     Some zzzzzz's always make everything better.  Enjoy Down Under ...  I think they're ready for you!
