Topic: Please read attached KTBA piece in Colorado blues journal

Hi all
Please take a few moments to go to the below and zoom in to read this article my friend John Catt published in a local Colorado blues journal. John surprised me and mailed it to me.  This is why Joe is so special. Thank you Joe and John for this. Words can not express my gratitude. Yes he is the right young guitar slinger. What can I say he named his guitar after my late wife. Gee what a tear jerker. I opened the envelope today and saw the title and it broke me up. I had to hand it to my daughter first. I hope you all can get to the link and zoom to read.
May all great things be in the path of a Joe and John.
Cheers Ron

How cool and appropriate he named that guitar Cindy.  Lots of special people mentioned in this story.

Re: Please read attached KTBA piece in Colorado blues journal

Having been there from the beginning when you first gave Joe the guitar in Cleveland and told us to keep it all secret, it has been so wonderful to see how it has all played out. It was a joy to meet Austin and his mother at Beaver Creek and at that time you could tell they were still overcome with emotion about the whole thing. It's so cool to find out he has named the guitar "Cindy". It's the perfect name. You definitely found the right person smile
