""Black Winter/Django"

---

The band gets silent. The stage goes dark. A bright spotlight illuminates Joe with his trademark Gibson Firebird and everyone is teeming with anticipation. Then, Joe proceeds to showcase why he is the master of the blues with his spectacular unique rendition of Jimmy Page's solo tune "White Summer" Joe has dubbed "Black Winter." Just as the wizard is burning up the fret board, Anton Fig comes charging in with a drum beat as Joe takes off on a whirlwind of notes and string bends. The tune culminates in a Django Reinhardt inspired ballad that portrays Joe's mastery and command of the instrument.
