Topic: withdrawals

I've been to so many of Joe's shows the last month that I now am getting a little down. Theres nothing like a live show, hanging with some forum friends, knowing we all have the same appreciation for this amazing musician. Momma told me to jump on a plane to where ever I want to catch a show, but that gets expensive, and I do need to work on this house. I dont know, Chicago, St. Louis. New York, heh maybe europe...ahhh....forget it, I cant speak anything but street slang, I'd just end up lost. But next year, I'm going all over, got to get me a fancy camera (Rhonda, I need yer help!) I'm going to start a forum hall of fame, and your invited, all I'll need is to take your picture! I've been given the 4th bedroom to make my music shrine, I got to gut it first. I've got some cabinet making skills, so it better look trick or I'll tear the thing out and start over. I wish I'd have kept all the vinyl that I sold over the years, I got pushed out to the garage years back because my "stuff " wasnt the look my wife cared for. This house is slowly getting cleaned out from all the inherited stuff that matches nothing. If I had my way it would all be contemporary, I got some killer ideas, but I dont call the shots. Did I tell you the time I grew this plant in the back yard, and my wife had no idea what it was. The funniest thing she ever said was " that plant stinks, almost like a skunk", I was laughing so hard I had to tell her what it was, she blew a gasket on me. Never grew one again...LMAO!!!  This post is much to long and way off topic, but heh, I cant sleep (AGAIN!!) Thanks for listening, the dog dont care bout me, just wants to lye on my lap.

Re: withdrawals

My husband built a bar in our basement a couple years ago.  I call it "The Woodshed" and he calls it the Boar's Nest (big Dukes of Hazzard fan).  He did the walls and bottom of the bar with old barn wood--nothing fancy but I think it looks vintage and I like it.  It has a stage area with a PA system, lights and a full drum set.  We almost had a Leslie B3 on the stage as well, but it was heavy beyond belief and it fired up one day on it's own and really freaked me out so we sold it.  We have a "little bit of everything theme" goin' on.  Mostly music memoribilia (complete with records molded into popcorn bowls) but it has all of my hubby's RC cars from when he was a kid hanging on one wall with trophies.  Pictures of Joe, Hendrix, Clapton, KWS and local musicians on another.  Anyway we have local musicians over sometimes and we all plug in and we jam for hours.  It is a blast!

Re: withdrawals

Best place to jam!!

Re: withdrawals

Shred,
Hang in there. I was just at a show in September and was going through withdrawals within a week or two. Luckily I have the Chicago and Milwaukee shows to look forward to. No idea yet when the next show will be for me after those.
It'll help once JB TV is back up and running.

Re: withdrawals

Anyone else fantasize about quitting their jobs and doing nothing but following Joe around on tour? Or is that just me? I swear I need to find some way to get paid for just being me. big_smile

I'm just saying.

Re: withdrawals

I'm already having withdrawal and I just saw him a few days ago.  Following a tour would be so cool, I'll go with you Nancy. We'd be the ultimate groupies!

Re: withdrawals

A big withdrawl comes a couple of weeks after hanging with forum friends and then having to part.  You just feed off each others energy and the excitement of the show. Patty, Shred, Debbie.... miss you guys! smile

You log on and start searching the tour dates hoping  a date has been added to the tours that you could possibly get to. I am anxiously looking forward to spring dates being announced. It is sort of like being hungry and going to the refrigerator, opening the door and discovering there is nothing to eat, then going to the pantry.....nothing there, then going back to the fridge hoping that something has magically appeared! I am sure you guys know what I am talkin' about! smile smile
