Hi Rob, or maybe I should say G'day!
Welcome aboard. It would be interesting to know how you discovered Joe. Joe is (unfortunately) not a household name even here in the States - although his popularity is ever increasing - so I wonder how someone from Down Under learns of Joe. BTW, your fellow countryman Rick Melick is doing a bang-up job playing keyboards for Joe these days.

Hi Lee, nice to meet you. Joe's rather new to me, but I'm NOT new to the good vibes having listened to music for many moons now.....from Little Richard (his piano playing hooked me up to rock!) to Jimi Hendrix and Frank Marino to.......well, Joe Bonamassa!! smile. Speaking about Frank Marino, I found out about Joe and his music thru Frank's official site message board. There was a guy there getting high over Joe's axe-work smile and since I've always got my antennas out for good, new music, I hooked up to Joe right away, checked out his Myspace page and his site and here I am. How's that for precison work man!! smile
I'm glad Rick is doing a good job!

I guess it helps if I read Introductions from time to time, Robert.  Again, welcome.  Glad you are here also!

Re: G'day from OZ

Welcome aboard Rob! Glad you're here and gave a history of how you found Joe. It's always interesting to me how people learned about Joe.
Hope you get a chance to see a live show sometime soon. The cd's and dvd's are great, but nothing can prepare you for a live show.

Hi Rob and welcome,
I read some of your posts...you're all over the place...I must of missed the thread where you said how you discovered Joe...where was that?  Did I read you are in Italy right now!  I'm jealous, where are you?  Are you into drag racing?  Where's your favorite place that you travel to for your job?

Hi Angela! Thanx! Yeah, I guess I like all types of "traveling"...and that means all over the Net and forums as well. I don''t remember the thread either right noe smile. Yes, in Rome for work. Oh yeah, all motor sports are IN with me esp F1 racing, NASCAR and drag racing!! smile. My fave place for work? In Europe it's the UK of course, but I dig sunny Italy too (my parents were Italian.......my nephews and niece and I are the only trueblue aussies!!
Soon.

Hi Rob,

And a belated welcome to Joe's Forum if I haven't welcomed you already! A Fabulous Musician/Singer being followed by some of the Greatest People on the Planet. Not a bad place to hang your hat!!

One more question that I've always heard, but still have a hard time understanding. When you flush a toilet in Australia does it really swirl from right to left? In the northern hemisphere it swirls from left to right. (Right now, half of Forum is runing to their toilets to flush them to make sure what I said was correct and the other half never really thought about it. Now you know why I'm on this Forum. To explore the mysteries of life! big_smile)

Anyway, I just wanted to say again, WELCOME!

Roy

Hi there and thanx! All true man!! smile

Re: G'day from OZ

Hi Rob,
About 10 years ago Aussie/Italian relatives tracked us down and actually came and stayed with us during part of their visit to the states.  Up until that point, I hadn't realized family members separated when they left Italy and some went to Australia and some came to the US via Ellis Island in New York.

So, maybe we're related!!! lol lol lol

Yeah, toilet swirl has nothing to do with the hemisphere you're in and everything to do with the design of the toilet. I'm sure they could make them swirl in whatever direction they wanted to.

Oops, perhaps I didn't clarify that.....it's got nothing to do with the hemispheres!! smile
