Wow! That is really fuckin cool. I may have to do this one of these days before I become a tree myself.Lol! Thanks!:)

I planted one myself. I met Joe a little over a year before we lost him at a Mescaleros show in MA. He told me about it, so how could I not? I was there taking pictures, and he was the most outgoing guy I've ever worked with. He was running around gathering all the "Mescies" so I could do some group shots befoer they went on stage. Then they went on, and the coolest moment occured-I was on stage when Joe played "Rudie Can't Fail". I was literally weak in the knees and teary-eyed. He was grabbing bouncers, telling them to calm down or the show stops, he never missed a beat. It was like watching old footage. Best moment of my life to this very day.

I had a tree at Rebel's Wood bought for me as a present a few years ago. I also met Joe at Manchester Academy about a year before he left us. I have about 20 minutes of video from the gig which I will be uploading to Google Video in the next few days. If I forget to post a link here it will be listed with the video below.

A friend and I went to Rebel's Wood on July 18th 2008.

We did a version of White Riot with a ukulele.
