[Slowhand] RE: More Bonamassa

[Bbanderic at aol.com]

As Joe seems to getting noticed more nationally/worldwide, he's  certainly no 
stranger here in Rochester N.Y...I believe he was born and  raised in Utica, 
N.Y... not too far from here.  Joe has played  Rochester frequently since the 
late 1980's, in fact I remember him opening up  for B.B. King when he was 
something like 13 years old, he was a little pudgy kid  but he could play, 
certainly better than any 13 year old I've ever seen,  somewhat of a child prodigy.  
In fact Joe played an encore with B.B. at  that show.
 
Also, in the 1990's Joe Bonamassa was in a band with Robbie  Kreiger's  (The 
Doors) son, the son of one of the members of the Allman  Brothers and some 
other famous band members' son.  They played an in store  gig at the House of 
Guitars.  I can't remember the bands name but they were  really good.  
 
I last saw Joe play a few years ago, once again opening for B.B. King,  three 
piece band, and it was very interesting to see how he has matured as  a 
guitar player and especially as a vocalist.  It'll be interesting to see  if he can 
become popular on a larger scale and become more of a household  name.
 
Cheers,
 
Jon
