By the way, my basement flooded today - with all my equipment in it...luckily I have everything 7" off the floor including power supplies so nothing was damaged. It kinda sucked to work 10 hours all day and then come home to have to wet/dry vac the carpet for 3 hours. What a day....

Man....... THAT FRIGGN' SUCKS!!!

If I ever get famous I am going on national television and anouncing to the world that I will sue the rocks off of anyone who prints false information in any way, shape or form.

I didn't think that was true.

Does anyone know if Joe has a son? The reason why was today at work (METREON, San Francisco) I saw this guy wearing a green striped beanie buying a movie ticket. I swear he looked like Joe, but without glasses. Joe, were you ate Metreon today Thursday June 12, 2003 at around 7:30PM??

I've gotten both my guitars back and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Gary Brawers' guys did a fantastic job. My Fender hybrid sounds so smooth and vintage. They both have low action and: NO BUZZING!!!!!!

OME I wasn't anticipating being part of the Vai project, i don't know whether i would make the grade for a start, i'm not being shitty about it, but there seems to be a more 'professional' standard required over there. Perhaps i'm reading it wrong but it doesn't have the relaxed vibe that was going on in here. i'm sure if you get short of numbers across on there people in here would love to participate.

McDave - I haven't heard anything about Satch playing with the Grateful Dead, but it may have happened. I suggest finding a Grateful Dead newsgroup or music-trading website and asking someone. I'm sure you'll be able to find the answer...and if it happened, you can probably find yourself a copy of it.

Let me know if you hear anything about it.

Greg m - it's not uncommon for classically graded people to enjoy playing one kind of music and listening to something different for entertainment. Think of a pro footballer enjoying a round of golf in his spare time.. If anything it's very healthy because you can just switch off the muso in you and listen to music without disecting it. I do something similar.... I listen to Slipknot, Hed PE, Papa Roach, One Minute Silence etc etc for fun.. I never really analyse what's going on and very rarely play along with it....
It's ok to enjoy lots of different styles of music.. I've always been a mosher - since I was a kid... but in my CD collection you'll find a lot of classical, prog rock, funk, jazz, fussion, trance, soul, blues, house, rap... along with the metal..
taste is just taste. because it's not the same as yours it don't make it bad..

Jennifer Batten fedexing you a solo sounds pretty darn cool.

jelly man Have you just done P5 today? I do exexel, and the people who do further maths say it was really easy. I just did P2, and that was also really easy - much better than the killer P3 exam we had last week. YES, THIS IS COOL!

AARGH, someone's taped over my video of "later with Jools Holland" I taped last week where they had Pat Metheny AND Radiohead on! Radiohead rocked this time, too. As did Pat. I'll never watch this again, oh no. I'd clearly labelled the tape as mine, too. Younger brothers are soooooooooo annoying.
