My Name is Josh Dillard.. I got my first guitar for graduation from my mom in '99 which was a cheapo ibanez model, GRX20. I got this because it was the only ibanez she could afford for me at the time and you were my guitar idol... I never could afford lessons so i played around but never learned... lost her 3 years ago. I go to School of Rock and Worship here in richmond and its my goal to make her proud by accomplishing my goal of playing surfin for her. You are an inspiration... a dream. A guitarist who sings without words and makes the emotions fly right off the strings... your new album on some songs hit me with reminders of my mom's loss. The music is beautiful Joe... one day I too hope to surf with the alien ha. Just gotta wait till I can afford a secondary guitar that has better components... STILL IBANEZ
