Topic: Hello from Fairfax, VA

Greetings all!

New to the forum but not to JB. I've been a fan for a while but became even a bigger fan after seeing him play live with BCC. Wow! I'm a big fan of live music. I've got some gray hair and have seen many of the "classics" going back to the mid-70's. I'm still going to see many of them that are still touring. JB is right up there with all my guitar heroes. He's keeping a type of music alive for me. And I sincerely appreciate it!

Looking forward to his DC show...

John

Welcome John!  Finally!  Another JB fan from Fairfax tongue  Yes, the 9:30 Club BCC show was killer.  I too am looking forward to the DC show.

Thanks for the welcome! Glad to see some like minded folks in my neighborhood. Maybe we can meet up for a drink before the show.

Welcome from me too, John. And a nostalgic memory brought on by your mention of the Birchmere, site of my first US Joe show in 08, where Tarus52 also sweltered with us in 104 degrees until they opened the doors. I'll never forget that day. wink

RIP Iron Man

Apologies to John for briefly diverting his introduction - will post in Michael's topic, Bob - only one possibility, and that's pretty far away too. sad
