No surprise there. Joe is quite simply what the English would call, a diamond geezer.

See if you can arrange for the presentation somewhere so that Rhonda can take the pics!

All of you, many many many heartfelt thanks for your kind words.  I am absolutely humbled and I am still in a state of dis-belief on the guitar. Big hugs and thanks to all who were behind the workings of the Affiliate Program.   Haven't had the chance yet to make up my mind on where & when. Consulted with Joe & the band...different ideas, but ultimately back in my hands...Joe said, You pick the place Patty and we'll figure out the formalities.  He made it sound so easy smile   Have to work around 3 different work schedules....let the juggling begin.... It's an overwhelming choice to make....I've got to shake the "tired cobwebs" from my thinking process.........love, luv, and more love to all of you.....  Patty

P.S.  Personal emails, I will get back to all of you soon.   Promise.

Patty,

Awesome, girl!  You're the BIG winner!  You got the prize because you earned it ten times over!  And, for Joe to take the time to sign all of the CDs without a moments hesitation when you asked, speaks volumes about his great, humble personality that we all love!

Enjoy your new guitar and we can't wait to see the pictures of you with Joe and your new "baby!"

Patty

It's all been said really but what fantastic news.
I don't think there's a more deserving person on the forum smile

Justice is done.


Commiserations to the person who sold second most !!
Best not to know really.

What a night the presentation will be.
Pictures of your beaming face and the guitar please.
Hope you choose to get it on stage with Joe. What an experience.

Great of Joe to sign all the CDs.
It's no surprise to us on here I bet.

Re: Congratulations Patty

Patty,
I haven't been checking the forum lately due to my work schedule and I am so behind on what is going on.  I was thrilled to find out that you won the contest!  As everyone else has said, it couldn't have gone to a more deserving person.  It's extra special that it went to a musician too.  I know you were a music major and you play(ed) bass.  Guess you'll have to learn guitar now.

And to see Joe two weeks in a row....pure heaven....I can't even talk about the guitar, because it makes my head spin.......I am just so grateful to Joe and all of the others who are behind the scenes on this.  Awesome, truly awesome.

Re: Congratulations Patty

Kudos on the guitar.  Is this going to be the living room focus with the plexiglass case?  Or are you going to learn to play?  Once again kudos.

Re: Congratulations Patty

OH PATTY!!!!!  Wow!!!  I've been away, but WHAT a FANTASTIC PIECE OF NEWS this was!!!  I cannot imagine that beautiful guitar going to anyone more deserving and APPRECIATIVE than you!  I really can't!!!  'Twas meant to be!!!

How I would LOVE to be there to see the grand presentation itself...... I'm SO happy that Melissa will be there to document it for us all.  Remember to breathe, but don't hyperventilate!!!!  Just relax, if at all possible, take in every detail, absorb it ALL, try NOT to be nervous...... you KNOW that Joe will take very good care of you, and make it all EASY and WONDERFUL and oh-so-memorable.

I am SO HAPPY for you!!!!  Yippppppeeeeee, yahooooo!!!!!

Many of us will be there in spirit with you - grinning from ear to ear and clapping 'til our hands are PINK!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS and MUCH LOVE TO YOU!!!!

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

Re: Congratulations Patty

Patty, sorry for my late congrats, but I wasn't around for about 10 days due to computer problems.  Anyway, good job!  And what a great idea about the troops... now that's what I call a win-win-win situation... for Joe, the troops, and you!  smile

--Vik cool

PS:  And kudos to the runners up, Jane and Mshamel... you both did a great job too and should be proud.  Actually, this goes out to everyone else participating in the affiliate program too... it's a great marketing approach, and everyone together helped it to succeed.  smile
