The other big thing about the instore,was joe was so down to earth!!! You dont see many guitarest in his leval so down to earth! He took the time with my step-son to find out a few things about him playing guitar! Joe blew him away!!! In shot it was the best meet and great i've been to!

Thanks joe Brian

Yeah…Wow what can I say, Joe is the greatest man alive! For him to come out locally like this at a store, Tower Records in Schaumburg, Illinois out of Chicago and perform for everyone, then sign autographs (down to the very last person), which was me “Spizzaz”… man he is just a GREAT GREAT person! He was there for over two and a half hours and just as nice as can be! Not only is he a great musician, but a really down to earth person. Everyone should make it a point sometime in his or her life meet Joe. All the people there were in awe, including myself! Joe killed me when he commented on my “nice shades and how you forgot his” before performing. You know I would have given them to him in a heartbeat! The floor was packed around the stage. I just wanted to look just like him for the moment and man it felt good! I can’t get enough of Joe and his music!!! He is the coolest man on this earth!!! I’ve been to many of his concerts and even once won backstage passes to meet him in person and the band, which I will never forget! That’s another story, but you can see pictures of it on my website at “www.spizazz.com”. This time I saw him in another light… with all his fans and very close up. After his performance which was great as usual, I stood in the long line that wrapped completely around the store, and talked to many other musicians and young guns just starting out on guitar. Everyone did not mind the wait at all! I got a flavor of the crowd and what they like about Joe, from each of their favorite songs, his style and techniques when playing, and just over all showmanship and cool appearance. Everyone had great things to say about him and his music. Not only has he been an inspiration for me, but it was cool to see the many other fans he has effected! Thanks Joe!!! When I got to meet Joe yesterday, we took some pictures together, he signed my JS100, then his new CD, and wished me “Good Luck” with my music career. I went away on cloud 9 and feeling like “Cool #9”… one or my favorite songs. Yeah… it was truly a great experience!!!! See him if you can, you won't regret it! Well, finally I also just want to say special thanks to all the people surrounding Joe, from Mike Manning "MM" (Tech. Guitar God), to his Manager and Crew, Staff at Tower Records, The Loop etc.. You all put in a lot of effort and went above and beyond for all the fans and me! I'm not sure if you all ever get the recognition you deserve? Joe surrounds himself with very special people. THANK YOU ALL and what a GREAT JOB you did! I really appreciate it!!!! And last but not least... Joe, THANK YOU for everything! I can’t wait until you come back to Chicago again for your next show. You know I'll be there! Take care all and everbody just keep on "Rock’N in a Free World!!!!

Thx, Spiz :)
