Hi All
A group of us from the Berks Shads Club went to see Joe in concert in Henley on Thames last night and what a great show it was!
Even though Joe was suffering from a cold (hence, in his words, " a catarrh solo") he was his usual chirpy self and treated us to a two hour set of songs ranging from Bluegrass through Bob Dylan to rock, not forgetting his own hits. One of the highlights for me was when he duetted with his son on "Duelling Banjos" with Joe playing banjo and his son playing the guitar part.
There were loads of electric and acoustic guitars on stage (although no Strats) and, in Hank vein, Joe remarked on them saying "We thought you'd like to see them because you paid for them!"
Joe and his band which, as I said, included his son and also his daughter, were out and out professional. Magic!
Cheers and a Merry Christmas to one and all.
Tony
