You got that right Dennis.
Joe stayed with us while he was in LA for a concert last year and we got to see him up close. He's a really nice young man with an unbelievable work ethic. He didn't get that good by accident. He does have a gift from God but also practices constantly. We went up to Bakersfield and Joe sat in with Brian Lonbeck at one of the Mosrite events that Dana arranged. Sarah was there too and Artie. Joe was jaw dropping. I think the crowd could hardly believe what they were seeing. He played Classical Gas just like in your video. And did a couple of duets with Brian. Both Brian and Joe then backed up Sarah. I know she was blown away.

Yes indeed. I think Joe is the best young player that I've ever seen. I greatly appreciate how he loves what he does. You can tell that he loves to play and loves to entertain. It's as if he was born to it. Terry may remember when Joe was doing Classical Gas he was getting so excited by the crowds reaction that he crossed over the monitors to get a little closer. I thought he might step or fall right off the stage. He is a special treat to see in person. I am also very impressed with his demeanor. He seems like a genuinely likable person.

Yes, I was blown away when it came my turn to do a couple of songs and Brian and Joe stayed on the stage. I will admit that it was the first time in my life I've ever been intimidated on stage. I had Brian to my right and Joe to my left. Brian just gave me a smile and said, "we thought we'd back you up a little". That is a night I will never forget!
