"When your down and out you need some Joe Bonamassa."

                                     Quote by _ Constance 

His music is raunchy and moody, his voice raspy yet smooth.  If I close my
eyes I am in a rundown bar in the middle of nowhere down and out on luck.
His name is Joe Leonard Bonamassa, an American born blues rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. Born in 1977, he grew up in Utica, New York, USA.
His parents Len and Delia were avid blues music fans and owned a music 
store and this is where Joe got his love for guitars. He started playing guitar
at four years old.  At twelve he was playing with B.B. King and has played 
with many notable artists.  He has fifteen solo albums, and eleven of them
have reached No.1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.  He has been nominated for
three Grammy Awards.  He has his own record label called Keeping Blues 
Alive Records where he supports blues musicians and their music.

Something interesting about Joe is his vast collection of guitars and amps,
four hundred or more.  Most are vintage.  He has been buying them all his 
life.  A room in his home is called the Bona-seum ! He loves his Fender
Telecaster that he nicknamed Bludgeon.  But, there is another rare and 
valuable guitar that he uses in concerts, a 1958 Gibson, Flying V, he calls
Amos after the original owner Amos Arthur.  I love this man, his music, his
message. He can play the blues for me anytime. He keeps his private life
private, I like that about him !

Mind's Eye
Joe Bonamassa
help I'm going down
need someone
to slow the spiral down
reach up, dig deeper
I'm haunted by memories
you can'nt see
