I think its time that you receive this fan mail, and to all the other fans out there, I want you to understand how I feel, and I'm not holding anything back, just open the floodgates and let it rip. I am a distinguished veteran of the United States Air Force, and a friend of mine turned me on to your music way back in '86. We were both assigned rooms in a dormitory out in the nothingness of the Arizona Desert, 65 miles south of civilization. He had these HUGE KLIPSHE(?) speakers, and when I heard those first early notes of your brand of music, well its safe to say that I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. I have been mesmerized by this strange and beautiful music ever since. My task with the Air Force was to handle Jet Fighters, and while you were starting your career, I was sending Fighters to the sky! I had your back! From then on, I just could not get enough of your music, I played it CONSTANTLY, and even today, every bar, every note is written in my heart. I never get tired of you, its just PLAY PLAY PLAY! The bells of LAL just knocked my sox off, I was flying in a blue dream and barking at the moon and looking for ALIENS as your music reverberated through the Arizona night. Playing the newest (Andalusia), Made of tears, Love in space, and I feel like the top of my head is going to come off, JUST INCREDIBLE. Its like a BOLT of PURE JOY every time I hear you! How you EVER became so GIFTED is a mystery to me. The only thing I can figure out is that it must have something to do with mathematics. Joe you ARE the Grand master of all time, and incredibly talented, (NOUN): phenomenal: Incredible, fantastic, frickin sweet, and I HOPE YOUR RICH because NOBODY deserves it more than you!! It is my reverent hope that I can come and see you in concert when you roll into Baltimore and Washington. That is my life's dream, my one desire. Thanks Joe, for all the decades of music, and for all the memories. I stand in AWE of YOU!
