30 years o' blues...hmm Lotta experience, started out when Joe Bonamassa was a newbie to Planet Bluesrock...

Looks like another who fits the profile "Lord I was born a ramblin' man..."

Re: Newbie

Welcome Spider.  Shred, I believe the guy you're referring to with the double guitar is Michael Angelo Batio, formerly of the 80's band Nitro.  I had the opportunity to see him play a small clinic at a local music store and he actually can do that stuff in person, quite well.  Also, like our man Joe, was very friendly and humble in person, thanked us for coming, signed my CD's, etc.  I recommend his "No Boundaries" if you don't mind a shred-fest (no pun intended) he is fast but he does have some feel also.

Re: Newbie

Well....it all started one evening back in 72 at a little roadside joint (not the smokable kind although it was plenty smoky inside) a few miles outside of Jacksonville. ..........

Yeah I like to move around. Can't hit a moving target kinda thing. Love the road but I mostly live up north. Not very far from Joes hometown. Got caught sittin still too long. I'll be hitting the road south again in a couple three weeks. Gotta satisfy that travelin jones thing.

Not real big on the computer but I gotta say this is one of the coolest sites I've ever come across. Unheard of for a major artist to answer questions on a website. Way cool. No matter how sweet this site is y'all, it ain't a substitute for the real thing. Get out and jam. Go see and support a local band if you ain't in one. And if you ain't in one well......you know what to do.

Thank You for the warm welcome.

Re: Newbie

Hey Spider,

I go to livebands from local to the worldtop for 40 years and still do. It's the best way to go out I agree. Don't play any instrument myself so jamming would be hard for the others!
