This may seem like a completely nieve question, but I'm still not sure who Robert Fripp is...:-(

trutina, satchblues, & anyone else interested in iTunes: iTunes downloads can be unprotected in a better way than what you described, satchblues. The way you described uncompresses the files, then compresses them again. The first time they were compressed, certain information was discarded from them to make them smaller. When you compress them again, the info that was originally there to be discarded is no longer there, therefore, good information, information that we can hear is now discarded in order to compress it this time. If you listen to the original files, then to the recompressed ones you made from the cd you burned, you will hear a difference in sound quality.

Greyfox...loved the joke!

Icezer... I d/l'ed the file from yer site...haven't tried to open it yet...too busy listening to ITLIS......don't know if I can open it or not....don't know what an rar file is.... unless it's an archive file produced by windows arc program?

Megaboyd: ha ha cut your hair young man! Either that or grow that beard longer, or put it in dreads.

Hey Joe ,I passed you a copy of "Boogieman"when you came to Vancouver-Tom Lee's. I have 2 new pieces on there and it is called "Mani Note's" instead of 'Boogieman". You have been a huge influence to me especially when it comes to writing.I was the dark dude who's hat you had signed the year before at Future Shop. Please write back,it would be a pleasure to hear a feedback. RESPECT, www.danmani.com. Dan Mani

[Here's a funny joke and im not agienst bush

Bush or Kerry

There's a teacher in a small Texas town. She asks her class how many of them are Bush fans. Not really knowing what a Bush fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands except one boy--Johnny.

The teacher asks Johnny why he has decided to be different. Johnny says, "I'm not a Bush fan."

The teacher says, "Why aren't you a Bush fan?"

Johnny says, "I'm a John F. Kerry fan." The teacher asks why he's a Kerry fan. The boy says, "Well, my mom's a Kerry fan, and my Dad's a Kerry fan, so I'm a Kerry fan!"

The teacher is kind of angry, because this is Texas, so she says, "What if you're Mom was a moron, and you're dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"

Johnny says, "That would make me a Bush fan." LOL

Joe,

I just listened to your new stuff. And I have only one thing to say:

Take a vacation away from musicians! ;-)

I didn't care for this new one much. You start each song with a cool melody then stray off into noman's land with focusless shredding that goes nowhere, and seems to last an eternity. It sounds like you're warming up and not really playing a song. No offense. But I can do that. And I don't even play that much. It's your somg melodies and hooks that make your stuff great. And this one doesn't have much of that.

The first few bars of each song are fantastic! But even though all that shredding is done well. It's extremely boring to listen to. We already have enough Joey Taffola's in this world. What we sorely need are good song writers. Your song writing is what makes you stand out. NOT YOUR SHREDDING!

I have a feeling you'll focus more on writing "Songs" on the next one. You seem to go through these wierd spats of wacky off- the -wall creations between writing cool melodies. Like excorsizing demons or something ;-).

Thanks for the strange twisted road you're taking us on. Although I don't care much for this one. You've already created a lot of cool stuff I really love. And I'm sure you'll create more later on down the road.

-Scott

-P.S.- Thanks to your influence. And playing along to your music. I can now create my own songs. So thanks for teaching this man how to fish. Say "Yo" to the family for me.

trutina: Glad your getting the MRI's done bro.... The Doc's will figure it out for ya man, no worries!!.... Now give Miranda a kiss for T2J ;-).... btw, yup on Paul's site, and Guitar Wars knocks any dvd I have ever seen OUT of the water!!!!.... Nuno and Paul jamming on Viking Kong!! Cupids Dead, Get The Funk Out, Midnight Express.... Oh, and over 2.5 hrs and the quality is amazing!!!!.... Simply classy and professional!!!!....

Good to see Narface back!! :-)

Gotta run to work boys and girls.... Back to the lurk, lol....

Greetings, Joe.

Thanks for the gift of music...and more new music!! I must say that the new title track is awe inspiring!! I've been listening track 5 all day, and I just think it's amazing...really evokes emotion!! Best wishes!!

Icezer...hey I visited yer site and signed the guestbook..but I dint see it and I refreshed the page like it said..so anyhoo... just wanted ya to know that I did sign it..

The Bozzio Levin project with Steve Stevens is called Black Light Syndrome. They have issued two disks on Magna Carta. Steve's work on these is as always, impeccable. He is just another one of those dudes who always plays with great tone and immaculate note selection. His solo's, even in the Idol days were/are always memorable. Saw him live with Atomic Playboys, band was iffy but Steve was killer. Freakiest coincidence of all.... HE HAILS FROM LONG ISLAND just like a coupla other pretty fair guitarists mentioned from time to time on this site!!!

Gotta go listen to "Hole in the Wall" my favorite Idol tune featuring Steve, great tune.
