Topic: Greetings Bonamassa fans

From Missoula, Montana.

I have been a fan since I heard the Bloodline album and have followed Joe's career for years. I finally got to see him live on his first trip to my fair city last Wednesday and it was everything I had hoped for. I brought 5 people who had not heard Joe until right before the show ( at my insistence); they all loved the show.

Joe has made quite an impact here in Missoula; I went to my local music store yesterday to buy the new live CD and the guy working there told me that he has sold more of Joe's albums (especially Slow Gin) in the past week, than he has all year.

Anyway, it's great to be a part of this forum and I look forward to discussing everything Joe.

Thanks everyone. I hope to make it to Joe's show in Spokane, WA on the 28th. It is a 3 hours drive (one way), but it will be well worth it.

It is exciting to see Joe finally getting wide acceptance without him having to compromise his music.

Thanks again for the welcome

Welcome TM, a year ago last May I drove from Benicia to San Luis Obispo for a show got up and hit the road at 6:30 AM, drove back home picked up a buddy and beat it up to Sparks Nv. for the show the following night. Worth every mile though and popped a slot machine at the Nugget where Joe played for a few hundred dollars too.

                                                                                              Welcome Aboard,

Welcome, from me, too, TM. I'm the guy from out Miles City way that came to see him play. It was worth evry mile going and coming, too.

But Spokane is 10 hours from my front door- one way. And I have to work night shifts this week. So burn one for me, will ya'? Thanks bud.
