You call it “a shock” ?
I call it a late wake up of you guys! 🙂
Went with my family to see Joe in Cleveland at the State Theater, we couldn’t afford the great seats so we probably got the last seats sold in the balcony. Well we are so glad that it worked out that way, because we got to stand and groove to his incredible gifted, energizing and inspirational experience. He is so incredibly moving and thankfully does not have to resort to backdrops, dancing girls, and costume changes.
I was fortunate enough to be married to a musician in the 1970s. The band toured all over the world as backup to hugely popular bands, as well as becoming headliners themselves. I never had to buy tickets to shows. As the years have gone buy people have come and gone, I have been content just being a listener of music. Until Joe Bonamassa —not only did I have to go I had to have my family share the experience too. Thank You, Joe for being the real deal.
