Over the years, I have had the honor to get to know so many great people through the web and specifically through our website, Broadjam. Most of whom, I have never met. One of those great people, and probably the most popular on our site, is Joe Hendrickson of Punta Gorda, Florida.
Every time I see a post from Nashville Joe, I smile. He always has something positive to say about everyone he meets in person or on the web. His profile photo is of him sitting on a tractor holding a can of something with his personality showing through his smile.
He has uploaded about 35 or so songs and one of my favorites is a song called Christmas Blues. He continues to be one of our top reviewers as well with over 2000 to his credit. He is one the most prolific reviewers in the 15 year history of Broadjam.
When one gets the idea for a website , they can only hope for members like Nashville Joe . With all of the negative issues that plague the internet, Joe brings a bright spot into so many lives on a daily basis. He is an unconditional friend to so many people he has never met in person. Thank you Joe for being who you are and bringing so much positive energy to so many.
