O.k. Joe, you are not a sushi fan. You are a sushi addict.

Re: Athens blog day of show..

I'm am so excited about your signature Les Paul.  That is just the coolest compliment to you as a guitarist!
Soooooo.............how long do all of the guitar enthusiasts (and their significant others) have to save up their allowances?

Re: Athens blog day of show..

That's cool news on the Les Paul !!!

After reading your blogs.... i miss life on the road!

Re: Athens blog day of show..

Congratulations Joe!!

A JB Les Paul will be something special, in 30 years a collectors item!!

Thanks again for your messages, very nice indeed.

Joe had mentioned that there is only going to be 200 made for this run.  It is going to be a sweet guitar!
High accolades to you Joe, this is quiet an honor!

Music is good for the Soul...

Joe, you must have missed the Devin Hester highlights which should excite any football fan (unless you're from Denver).
Probably a good idea if the Giants don't kick to him.
Sorry to cheer against your team, but this could be the last gasp in the Bears season.
