Topic: Joe reunited in St. Louis

Something really special happened for Joe in St. Louis! His guitar tech brought out his next guitar for Love Ain't a Love Song and Joe proceeded to tell the story of how when he was younger that he spent his inheritance from his grandmother on a strat for $4500.00 and that when he turned 17 and needed the money so he could move to NY city, so he sold that guitar. Well, last night he got to play that guitar again. Dave Hinson at Killer Vintage Guitars has it! Joe joked that it still seemed like it was in tune. You could tell that he really enjoyed playing that guitar and gave it a proper workout! I will post the link to a photo later this evening.

Wow, that's so cool that the guitar found it's way back to Joe, so to speak. Must have been great to have seen him play it, no doubt he was pretty excited about the whole thing.

"There's a lot of people that are in so much of a hurry to be, I guess, to be famous or that they don't want to take the time to learn to play and do all that.They'd rather just knock it down off a computer and maybe get on a game show and get famous..That's fine if that's what you want to do.
