Topic: Hello from North Worcestershire, England.

Good Evening all from North Worcestershire in England, just found the site after browsing around feasting on anything Joe Bonamassa for the past 6 months, so thought I had better pop in and join this exclusive club!

I'm a 44 year old married guy with a couple of kids who has played guitar, funnily enough, since the age of 4. Unlike JB, I had no Danny Gatton or BB King to help me along, so while I'm still playing and am in a band, my days of being able to be a blues/rock star, or one tenth as good as JB, are way gone now!

Like others, I would give my left leg (not arm - I need it to play) to sit with JB and play some stuff, to learn from him, to just chat guitars, songs, ideas, theories....before he gets so famous that he disconnects. Maybe one day eh? smile

In the meantime, I look forward to reading all your stuff on here and learning more about how the rest of the world sees someone I consider to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Hi from Lancashire and a fifty six year young JB fan and JB Epiphone owner. Just play and enjoy. Welcome to the friendliest and social site that I have encountered from fellow fanatics.

Come on the Blades (sorry Idolbone just had to borrow your line)

I think you knocked the nail right on the head when you said "one of the greatist guitarists of all time" - Yep!

Hey Rocky,
