Joe,

I've heard your music before in the 80's and 90's, ( and it wasn't being played very much), but thought nothing of it because I didn't really know who the artist was or the name of the song(and I'm a music freak)! which is why I was thinking that you didn't want yourself or your music to be known, but since gradually over the years I began to find out just who you were, I got in to you more and more.

I just can't believe just how gifted you really are, I mean, you can really wail on that guitar and the fact that you taught yourself. You know, some people are born with their gifts and I really believe that this was something that you were born with because nobody can just pick up a guitar and play like you do. I love it that you just play instrumental type music and I agree with you that words along with the guitar would spoil the beauty of the music it self. Out of all of the CD's I have purchased of you, there is not one song that I don't like.

I don't know how you figure out what to name all of those songs, but I guess that goes along with the imagination that you have to figure out all of those songs. I can't believe that I am actually writting to you. I feel that I am close to you just by writting and I can't believe that you would have the time to read and write back to all of your fans. I mean, just being a "rock star" would keep you busy enough!

Remember it is only my opinion. You have such beautiful black hair, but yet you shave your head and I know that it is the "in" thing to do(or is that why you did it)? I see it all around me and I just can't understand why guys shave their heads when they are young and can have it. I mean, you should enjoy it while you have it because when you get older chances are you won't. Can you see what I am saying?

I've never been this close to a rock star before so this is the first time. When I listen to your music, I wish that I could do something like that. Your music just takes me away. It makes me feel like I'm actually in the band and that's a good feeling. You keep getting better and better every time I listen to you. I wish you luck with the "Super Colossal" concert and hope it turns out the way you want it to. Hold on to that gift of yours and never, never let go of it. Your are a very special person with great talents!

Sincerely,
