Topic: My Old Friend Has Returned

Hello Everybody,
          I just wanted to say that my Gigliotti prototype has been returned to me after 3 months in exile.  I has been sitting in a warehouse that stores our gear along with most of the bands on Provogue Records.  It got placed accidentally with another bands gear.  We got a call recently asking if we were missing a shiny red guitar? I am so happy to have it back.  The last time it was seen was Denmark on a cargo truck headed to Rotterdam.  A simple mistake that had me worried.  Thank you all for putting out the APB and all the kind words.  I ll never forget that.  It really meant the world to me.  But its back with me today, still in tune and ready to go. 
A Million Thanks
Joe Bonamassa

Great news Joe.  I'm sure alot of us were thinking the worse case possible. That somebody was holding her for ransom.

Take care everyone. And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then ill, I'll meet you in the next one and don't be late, don't be late

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

Oh, cool!  That's great news; not only that it's back but that it's back in perfect condition and was only missing as a result of a misunderstanding.  What a relief!

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

Outstanding!!!! My friend has his old friend back. Maybe it was the positive vibe from the Bonamasses that produced a happy ending. Can't wait to hear you crank it up in SF!!! See you and the boys soon.
