Topic: Hello to all

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Steve from Old Church, VA (NYC originally).

I just saw Joe for the second time last week at the National in Richmond, VA. He was awesome, but I'm sure that's no surprise to the die-hards here on the forum.

I also saw him last year at Toad's Place and he just blew me away. Suffice to say, he won't be able to get through Virginia without me catching his show!

I am the admin over at a metal forum but I'm always raving about other types of music as well, particularly guys like Joe... and I've managed to convince a few people to give him a try over the last year or two. I have yet to hear anyone report back disappointed, either. ;-)

This looks like a great fan forum, so I will definitely be around to check on what's going on with one of my favorite guitarists!

Rock on, everyone!
Steve

Re: Hello to all

Steve -

Welcome!!!

All - please do welcome Steve - he's a very cool guy, knows his music and is the one who turned me onto Bonamassa, as well as a lot of other great music - I will be forever grateful for that! He's been spreading the word for a couple of years to a pretty wide/varied audience, several of whom have gotten into Joe's music as a result.

It's great to see you here Steve - Hope you enjoy this forum!

Re: Hello to all

Welcome Steve. It always amazes me the wide variety of musical genres that meet at the crossroads called Bonamassa. Thanks for jumping in. My money says this is a much more mellow place. Kick back and have fun!         Cathy

Re: Hello to all

Thanks, Cathy!

I've always been a big fan of blues and blues rock... and several other genres as well. This looks like a great place to chat with folks about Joe and his music, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Believe it or not, for a rock/metal forum, it's surprisingly laid-back... except when we get going on politics... haha!

Thanks again!


Cheers...
Steve
