Topic: Joe's Flying V...the Story!

I got a text a few weeks ago from a guy I used to work with who plays guitar in a band. He told me Joe was in a music shop in Indy, and that a friend of his happened to be there and texted him a picture. I was wondering why he was in Indy since he wasn't playing here.

Well, here's the story from the Indianapolis Star (was on the front page yesterday. Nice!):

Re: Joe's Flying V...the Story!

Great story, thanks Bill. I'll never be able to afford a rare vintage guitar like that.
What's great about Joe is that he doesn't just collect them to sit on the shelf, he appreciates them for what they are .. musical instruments meant to create music and, fortunately for us JB fans, we actually get to hear them in the hands of an incredible talent.
