Joe was cool, calm and collected during his 30 minutes of fame on national TV.
His subject of choice was Lee Kernaghan, and boy did he know all about Lee.
Joe had family in the studio audience and, while nervous, didn't show it.
Meeting Tom Gleeson was a thrill for Joe.
When Joe lifted the Big Brass Mug he chose some words from his hero as his ‘sign off’ - "The boy from the bush was back in town".
Well done Joe, the Southern Riverina is so proud of you.
