57. On "Joe asks Who IS IT?"

I think I got 4 wrong.

If  rory gallagher, frank marino, and jeff beck are on there...thats probably 3 out of 4... if Al Dimeola is on there too thats probably all four!

58. The song Blues Deluxe has a LLLOOONNG solo in it. I love playing along with the song, but my soloing really dries up and Joe just KEEPS on soloing...darn it! I can't keep up.

67. There needs to be more collaborative things going on TV with music like Ted Nugent & Joe.

These days arent like the old days when there was only 3 channels and the ed sullivan show was on.  Hard choices there.
