2008 brought many unexpected lows for all of us,
but it also had its amazing highs.
Among them have been my continuing travels with Holiday Express.
Thanks to my extended family (AKA: the band) for being there to share
so many wonderful moments...
thanks to Maureen for saving the first dance for me...
thanks to Rob Thomas for being the "classiest guy in Rock & Roll"...
thanks to Tim for starting this silly thing we do...
Thanks to Amy for being my "buballa"...
to Delores for teaching us how to fly...
and to Fred for getting us safely to 55 shows...
to Pat for raising the back row to new heights...
and to all the people who allowed us into their lives, even if only
for a few hours.
Those hours are seeds that will grow for a lifetime.
And especially to my girls for being the reason for everything I
do...
and to J-J (it's amazing how so much happiness can be squeezed
into such a little guy!)
I'm optimistic for 2009, and hope we reach the goals we each set
forth. Since you're here reading this, then I direct this to you when I say thank YOU for your support and friendship.
I look forward to sharing even greater moments in 2009 with you.
Thank you,
Joe
