Topic: Bonawannabe checking in .....

Greetings fellow JB fans!
I can't believe how much Joe has influenced my wife and I in the last year.
We watched the JB at RAH dvd with literally...jaws open!!! Unbelievable!!! 
He was way beyond any other entertainer we had seen in many moons. Since that day we are devoted fans.
We can't wait for our meet and greet with Joe in Minneapolis next April.
I currently own 3 Gibson Les Paul's and I have the Signature JB Bonaburst Les Paul in my sights.
"How many guitars does one man need"???
Anyway, We really enjoy all of the fan postings and look forward to many more.
We thought we were the only Bonamaniacs......Hardly.
Thanks to PSmith1946 for nudging me to post our introduction !!!!
Cheers from Minneapolis Minnesota USA !

Re: Bonawannabe checking in .....

Welcome from a fellow Minnesotan! Me and my gal Renee were lucky to discover Joe back in 2005, where we first saw him play at the now closed Hangar Bar and Grill outside Rochester, and have been to every show in MN (and many others) since. It's been a steady progression here in the Twin Cities from the Cabooze, to the MN Zoo, then the Guthrie, and now his second time at The State.

Enjoy your time here. I've discovered that JB fans are nothing short of the greatest fans around and we've been lucky to meet many, many of them!

Good job with the avatar, Bonawannabe.  It can be frustrating!  Real nice looking guitars!

Thanks Sally,
The Bonaburst just arrived...!!!!!
I guess I'll happily change the avatar again.
It is an amazing guitar to play.

Re: Bonawannabe checking in .....

Welcome to the forum bonawannabe!
We've all discovered Joe at various stages of his career (2004 for me), but the feelings seem to be pretty consistent: WOW!
You'll fit in here...just based on that alone. Like Lee said, you won't find a better group of fans anywhere.
