Congratulations! Was it your first time? If so, I know it won't be your last!

My wife and I are going to see him here in Pittsburgh next week. It will be my fifth time. We're doing the meet and greet this time. I'm getting really excited!

He was outside after the show meeting folks, shaking hands and signing autographs.

It was a great show. Until I joined this forum I had never heard of him. My wife had never heard of him until I bought the tickets a couple of months ago.

Now she wants to go again! On the other hand, I had this fantasy about picking up the guitar this morning and sounding like him. How hard could it be? That didn't work out like I had planned. At least we brought home a bunch of swag.

He is one first rate showman who can really entertain even the non-guitar geeks in the audience. The first time I saw him it was with the wife as well and she would like to see him again.
