Final GOLDIE post for today!!!
Since Joe was so cool to sign guitar, and this was second chance to do meet and greet, wanted to get Joe a present. When I saw him in New Hampshire in Nov. 2010, he spent almost an hour showing me stage gear and guitar. MEMORY OF A LIFETIME FOR ME!!!!
Wanted to show my appreciation for taken so much time to hang with me:
Gift for joe: Strymon El Capistan Delay Pedal ( Echoplex based delay ), a very cool pedal. notice the stickers on the pedal front and box front...shameless self-plug, ha!!!!

When I presented pedal to Joe, he was telling me a story that the day prior while speaking to Kevin Shirley, Kevin had a session the day prior and the guitarist at the session had this cool pedal that replicated an old echoplex, and it was made by Strymon.....I told Joe, "this is that pedal man". Mentioned that no self-respecting marshall plexi owner doesn't have an echoplex to go with plexi, or in this case a Strymon
Here is shot of me giving pedal to Joe:

According Brett Diaz, who I met at the Worcester show, when I presented Joe with pedal, joe took it backstage and plugged it in right away...and the next night replaced his Keeley modded boss delay on his theramin pedalboard -- HOW FREAKING COOL.
When I bumped into Joe and Roy in New Hampshire on the street last month for BCC show, he remembered me and thanked me for the pedal again -- was FREAKING BLOWN AWAY, how awesome was that!!!!
I gave the pedal because Joe created a memory of a lifetime for me, talking gear and shotting the **## for almost an hour prior to one of his gigs, here are some shots from that meeting:
