Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

Great news Joe! I remember hearing somewhere that Gogliotti's held their tuning almost forever, but it amazes me that it was still in tune after so long.
Glad it's back...even though a guitar doesn't make the guitarist, it wouldn't seem the same seeing you without your "friend".

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

Congrats Joe!  We had a good feeling about it returning, like JDAWG said, all the good vibes. Got a quick thought, wasnt Patrick finishing a replica for you, and is it done?  In this case I guess you could say more is better.

Alright, Joe! But what are you gonna do with an extra guitar? LOL

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

I knew it would come back to you; the guitar now deserves a proper name and I know you'll be showing it some love when you play it! wink I love stories with happy endings!!!

Maybe the new Gigliotti could be for European tours or more complicated travel routes and the treasured original can stay closer to home...

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

Sensational news Joe! Absolutely thrilled for you to have that beautiful guitar back where it belongs!

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

Hey Joe,

That is such exciting news!!! So glad for you that you have your old friend back.  Hope Ken and I get to hear it played again when we see you later in the year at one (or more) of the Florida shows. 

Looking forward to it already,

Susan  smile

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

AWESOME! Instantly Karmatic Gratitude!!! Ahhh the sweet smell of success.  I say prayer works, even for prodigal guitars!  I have witnesses to wit I did just that, so voila! Melissa's sentiments for it all are well said and miror mine Joe, except I feel as great a relief as possibly even you as I now do not have to kill anyone... Long live simple misunderstandings somehow still able to bring about world peace & universal love and happy, shiny people!  And since Angela suggests it (She) needs a name.....Why not "Bonnie?" My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea.....you know... "Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me!!!"  Damn tooting fans around the world could start a tradition of singing the tune when you spin your forlorn tale a la BB King and the spilled kerosene fire over a fight for "Lucille", before you break into another song featuring her! Any forums votes to go along with that???!!!

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

The Gigliotti is home, Joe is happy and all's right with the world. smile

I'm just saying.

Re: My Old Friend Has Returned

I don't know about that all's right with the world part, but I suppose if we hear Free playing "All Right Now" it will certainly apply!
