Good interview...a little odd, but Joe comes across well, as always.

Re: Video Interview

Ooh i liked that! Thanks for posting!
It was odd to watch, with two people communicate to a camera and not to each other hi hi..... but what do i want... a  small space and one camera.
Yeah Joe, stay true to your self...........

Re: Video Interview

hey your zipper was down --

only kidding ;-)  thank much for sharing

Re: Video Interview

Seriously cool interview!  Thanks for letting us in on it, Jim.  Thanks to Joe, too, for being true to himself in all ways.  No apologies are necessary for that or for anyone being equal opportunity when it comes to blues.  Or rock.  Or both. 

By the way, Fotopete-- when we saw Joe in Akron, OH, in October 2004, one of the musicians in one of the opening acts did indeed have his zipper down!  After a brief debate with myself as they were preparing for their first song, I told the band member closest to me and they told him.  It would be better to be informed about such a thing as early as possible and besides, I was sitting right up front really close along the stage.

Re: Video Interview

Cool interview.  Thanks for posting the link.  It's great to hear Joe just talk about music stuff.  He knows what he's doing, and he knows what he likes, and I like that about him.  smile

Re: Video Interview

The interviewer was the Tulsa Blues Society president Bill Martin. He was asked to interview Joe by the producer and he was as nervous as a cat. He is a big fan of Joe's and helped make the Tulsa show a success. He is A great guy that has met Joe before but got a little uptight in front of the camera. Joe did pretty good considering he was trying to get into his pre show routine and the interview started an hour or so late.

Re: Video Interview

Ahh.  Yeah, the guy doing the interview did seem a bit nervous.  But still a good interview nonetheless.

Re: Video Interview

I liked that Joe was given a chance to really respond,  saying he wanted to "expand the boundaries of the blues," and ragging on the purists who discourage young musicians with their attitude about what "real blues" is.  Mostly I liked what Joe said about not apologizing for what he does and not changing to placate anybody!

Great musicians have a language & vocabulary that transcends the usual barriers & touches us on a more primitive , basic & yet complex level....
