Poem
"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 ! random lyrics from 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 _____________________ May 07, 2023 Poetry/Bio/Joe Bonamassa - Blues Guitarist Copyright Protected, ID 05-1545-662-07 All Rights Reservered, 2023, Constance La France Written for the Premiere contest, Joe Bonamassa Inspiration sponsor, Robert James Liquori, Judged 05/07/2023 First Place
