Title: JNT Love Thread
Post by: Pamela on January 06, 2006, 02:57:08 PM
Let's start with William Joseph.  He's an accomplished musician and composer. And yes, he's funny too. And cute. And married! So, step back!  :lol  Seriously, he did an excellent job opening and in the band.  I loved "Homeward Bound" and "Within" especially.

His tour journal - OK, it's brief.  You may have already seen it. But if not, you can read it by going to William Joseph.com (http://www.william-joseph.com/) and clicking on "Journal."  Here's how it starts...

I am finally back on tour. Yeah!!!! I will be touring across the country for the next two months performing, not only as part of Clay Aiken's band, but also as his featured opening act. This means that I am traveling in a luxury tour bus instead of driving in a 15 seat passenger van.

Clay played a good trick on William during his opening act during the final Clearwater show, playing "Invisible" into his earpiece, and talking to him. Among other things... :slick

I know lots of you got to meet William Joseph and may even have photographs and stories you might want to share.  Post them here.

I wish him tons of success in the future!

William is SO talented and such a super nice guy!  :bouncy  I had the chance to meet him first in Raleigh where Mackenzie and I had our picture taken with him and I also had the chance to catch back up with him in Clearwater at the final show.

I can't tell you how impressed I was by him at the final show.  He not only rolled with the punches that Clay was throwing him, but he showed his expertise and his ability to have a great time!  He was truly a joy to watch that night! :yes

Oh, I have to agree with y'all, he's not too bad on the eyes either!  :wink

I wish him the best of everything in the future.  I really hope we get the chance to enjoy more of his wonderful musicianship on one of Clay's upcoming tours!

Oh, he's also got a great personal assistant in Maka.  Another really nice guy!  :bouncy   I have a picture of him too, so here you go!

Great photos, Heater

I didn't get the opportunity to meet William but he seems like a very nice guy and he is very talented!   Heater was kind enough to have William sign a CD for me and I should be getting it in a couple days.  I'm looking forward to listening to it!

Here are photos Mr. Clandy took of William.

William Joseph is a very talented pianist and I enjoyed him immensely at all of the  three concerts I went to.  We  saw him at the end of each concert and had pictures taken of ourselves with him a few times.  He is very friendly, kind, warm and gracious.  I will be purchasing his newer CD when it comes out.   Like Heather said his bodyguard Maka was  friendly and quite the comedian.  He also took a liking to our Lorraine.  :lol  Here are  just a few of the pictures we took with him.

William Joseph is incredibly talented! And he is a genuinely nice guy. All my friends that saw him were very impressed. My 17 year old niece liked him as well. She said that he reminded her of what her brother could have been if he had stayed with music. After the Raleigh concert I immediately went to the lobby and bought 2 of his CD's, one for me and one for a co-worker. Then, thankfully we were able to wait and have them signed by William.

Here is my friend Gel and me with William:

I have really enjoyed listening to his CD and my favorite at the moment is "Butterflies and Hurricanes". I will definitely purchase his next album.

I'll share in the WJ love. We had the most hilarious experience with him in Council Bluffs (me, Audra, Lauren, Sarah and our friend Jen). Luckily he wasn't too embarrassed and Maka was so much fun to joke around with!  :lmao

Here are a few of my WJ pics from my two concerts :

Please do continue to post your pics of William Joseph, and let's share some pics of Brianne as well. 

Her website, which includes a slide show from the JNT is BrianneHinman.com (http://www.briannehinman.com) and her MySpace page can be seen here! (http://www.myspace.com/brianne_nyc)

Clay called Brianne the one who kept everyone's morale up, and I can see why - she always has a big smile.

I met William Joseph outside the Chicago Theatre after the November 22nd concert.  I went up to him and just told him that as a "lowly piano teacher", I was totally in awe of him and his talent.  He very humbly responded, "Well, then you must have heard all of the mistakes I made".  I then asked him where he had studied piano, and he proceeded to praise the Russian-born teacher who has been his mentor for the past 8 years. 

I was so impressed by his dignified, yet warm demeanor and his stunning good lucks,  :slick of course!  And I've just found out that he is a member of my church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and actually served a 2-year "mission" for the church in his late teens.  What a good example of a young man who has his head on straight and knows where he is going in life!!!!  I absolutely adore him, and am totally enjoying his CD "Within".
