Hiya Big Joe!

It's been a while my friend. I hope you don't mind but I have "Love Or Money" on my set list for my little UK excursion this summer.

I know the gig in Spratton will be recorded so I can finally get you a recorded copy of it. Great tune my friend!

Keep on keepin' on Joe, you are an inspiration to a lot of us.

Oh, and... how ever did I make that little ole slip and accidentally state that it was your 50th Birthday - not your 44th??
