Topic: The Joe I know....
The Joe I've met is not only the best guitar playing lifeform on this planet, but the hardest working. Period. No exceptions. The Joe I know puts more passion into his playing than anyone I've seen outside of Stevie Ray, and he's getting really close. The Joe I know loves his fans and loves to meet with him after shows. I know, I've seen him do it. The Joe I know plays guitar in a way that inspires me to play, even though I'll never reach his ability. The Joe I know has made people shiver with excitement after seeing him play. The Joe I know has touched my life, the way he approaches his music, which is the "I'm gonna do it my way" approach, has made me very proud to say, "Hell yes, I love the blues!" instead of almost being ashamed of it. The Joe I know is easy to promote, just pop in Live At Rockpalast and you have instant fans. The Joe I know puts any guitar player to shame, but does it without showing off. The Joe I know also helped me realize that there are indeed some people in this world that you can put up on a pedestal without fear of having them disappoint you. So many times you hear of people feeling let down when they meet their hero because their hero wasn't nice to them or something of that nature. I am so thankfully that I can honestly say that when I met my hero, he was so kind and cool, and not only that, but knew me and knew enough of what I do to make me feel special. So Joe, thank you for all you've done for me, from soul to soul.
