Topic: FOX 25 in Boston

Hey, nice job kid.  I'm a local Boston Musician.  Played from age 26 to about 35 (now 43).  I can see you getting as famous as the Allman Bros if you keep it up and get a good group of musicians behind you.

  Keep up the good JAMs,

Re: FOX 25 in Boston

Sure Jane,
   He did a great job.  I'm watching this guy saying to myself, wow this guy's going places.  Fox25 was smart to get him on.  I think he'll be glad he did it.  Lot's of exposure up here on that news Channel for the Northeast.  Believe it or not, the NE has a BIG Blues band following.  A place where when the Allman Brothers roll into town, they pretty much take over the local BLUES ROCK scene.  They've even said that NE is definately one of the best places to play.  Sure, Mississippi and Chicago is where it all started, but they ALL pass through the Northeast Corridor!!  Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn...I once sat across the table from Luther Guitar Johnson in Maynard MA...heck BB King has a hide-out up in New Hampshire.  You mentioned Salem, MA.  BB's daughter plays with Eric Reardon a lot.  Eric is one of the youngest Blues Guitar players in the NE, he plays out of Salem.
   Joe or his Agent should definately (if they haven't already) contact the ABB's Agent to see if he can bring his band in as a "Warm Up Band" when they play in Mansfield at the Tweeter Center (or whatever the heck they are calling it these days (the outdoor ampitheater).  The guys (Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, ect) would probably come out and JAM with them too.
   Wouldn't that be the ultimate Joe?!!!

Jane, if Johnny A is from the Salem area, I just did a long stint playing in that area.  I bet either I saw him play or he saw me over the past few years.

  Later,
