Topic: Hi, my name is Ben.....

I've only seen Joe once, but my dad and I got to meet him which made it pretty special. I think you might know my dad, he's that Roy BluesMan guy. He's an OK dad and we like to go fishing together. He's going to get me Golf lessons next year, maybe.

My favorite band is not the same as my dads which is Joe's band. My favorite band is Linkin Park.

Sincerely,

Ben

Hey Joe,
My dad says he'd like to adopt you, but you aren't getting any of my gifts, OK? smile

Re: Hi, my name is Ben.....

Hi Ben. It's OK to like your own music. There are Linkin Park fans in my family and I like them. You have a great guitar and now, strap to match. Stick with it! Practice, practice, practice..sad to say it's vital. The good thing is that eventually it will just be programmed into your brain and it will all fall into place.  We all KNOW your Dad and understand how difficult it must be trying to raise him properly! We're here for you. Feel free to tell on him any time.  Auntie Cate

Hi Ben,

Welcome to the Joe Bonamassa Forum.  Most of us around here act like friends and family.  Usually, we are REALLY fun.  Always, ALL of us LOVE JOE BONAMASSA.

Have a good time here.  I'm glad you can help keep an eye on your Dad for us too.

I know that Joe could play one of those kid's guitars with the plastic strings and make it sound good-

Re: Hi, my name is Ben.....

Hi Ben, welcome to the forum. We enjoy the company of your Pops in here, and it's great that your in here too now. I wish I'd tried harder with the guitar when I was your age. Am trying now though!!

Keep up the practice like Auntie Cate said, and it'll all come good in the end!!

Re: Hi, my name is Ben.....

Welcome Ben! I can just picture your dad making you an offer you couldn't refuse about joining up here. big_smile

Which is kind of what I did with another young lad some weeks ago. He signed up and hasn't been seen since. Don't let that happen to you. *wink*

Hey Ben you are doing your dad a disservice, he's more than OK, he's Roy, the captain, the bluesman. He makes us smile.

If you like Linkin Park visit my son's myspacepage at

www.myspace.com/theyashin

They rock.

Tell your dad his Scottish brother was asking for him.
