Welcome Mcfadden: If your blood sweat and tears are in your music, people will notice. Good Luck!
Welcome devilsslide:It would be cool to have a left-handed JS. I dont know if they make them but I'm sure somebody will get around to answering your question. A number of members from this fabulous site are still recovering from being blown away by Mr. Satch. When they come to, you'll find more answers than you'll need. I am left handed but I get down the right-handed handed way. I guess it was all that time I spent watching other people play and tryin' to twiddle my fingers on thier guitar. Hey, and if they dont make them, you can always do like Jimi.
Keep posting guys!!!
BTW did any one of you have the chance to see Joe perform?
What did you think?

OpticalStudio- sorry to read you are feeling down.
Your acoustic guitar sounds great- I've always wanted to own a really good Martin acoustic, but as of yet have not succeeded in getting one! I'm not sure admitting I'm a teacher on here gives me too much cred- not the coolest job in the world really, is it? Great holiday prospects though....
One other instrument I would love to own one day has to be a harpsichord. I have played one before, and I love it!
Michelle- are you feeling better now (i.e. your knee?)
962- any guitar updates?

Hello suzie2000! Let me just say Ms. lady? of course right beeing a teacher is one of the most respectible jobs there is. Without teachers yhere would beno future. I work in a financial aid office at one of the city colleges. They are on strike. You may have seen somethin' about on the news in your area. You all deem respect. Shit, the lack of you has made me such a horrible speller. Did I spell that right? You see...

Hi there Achoo, nice to meet you. That was a nice post! Your spelling is pretty good though! I don't think these days that too many people give it much thought or think it's very important unfortunately (in England anyway.)
I haven't seen that on the news, to be honest I very rarely watch much international news except for the real headline stuff.
Happy Saturday everyone!

Just got Andy Timmons' Ear X-Tacy 2 and Pawn Kings through the mail. YIPPEEEEEE!!!!
DamnIMissNamm, haha, what breed of bullshit do you call that? Those things you said about Winston Churchill, boundries that are still on maps today - so....? My pont was that events of WW2 have no bearing on current policies. You don't hear bush refer to WW2 as basis/foundation/justification for his policies! Anyway, that wasn't really my point - it was a side-point. I went off on a tengent, I know! Hehe
And you're mistaken - "my focus is my reality"? I'm not focused - ie. I don't have a narrow mind or a shallow point of view. I take all aspects into consideration to form my opinion, which is why I'm not narrow minded and unopen to ideas like you apparently are!
I think you meant "realistic" or "objective" not "narcasistic"?!
And you should care a little about who gets voted in as PM. cause if we vote in someone like the UK Independence Party, who are zenophobic and racist, your country will have all ties cut off from the UK, it's foothold in Europe. You need us to vote in someone who is going to be an ally to your next president, whoever he may be. American airbases need to be kept open in the UK - shutting those alone would cause a much bigger problem than you think.
Jazzzzzy, yeah an evening with Satch tour would be ace here! I don't think it would fly though - our country is too small with only a few venues where he could succesfully put on a gig that people would go to, cause not enough people know about him.
I personally think Joe should try a solo show in the Royal Albert Hall some time, or maybe a G3 show in Earl's Court - Earl's court is a massive venue, where they put on Motor Shows and so on.
Austin, sorry to be pedantic, but there's a difference between manipulating the evidence and lying. Michale Moore uses certain tuings to support his case, leaving out aspects which would fly in the face of it. That's a little different, and less harmful than what the Bush Administration is doing! Michael Moore didn't make up a story about danger and right and wrong and then use it as a basis to completely destroy another country.
You know how many Iraqi's have been arrested in the last 12 months? 43,000. That's a whole f*ck*n lot of innocent people behind bars. They didn't do anything! There is nothing innocent about George W, and I'm not really bothered if Mike isn't sharing the small collection of facts that are a good result from the campaign - the cons far outweigh the pros.
Look at footage of daily life in Iraq 6 months before the bombs started dropping, and look at it now. The whole thing could have been done neatly using a covert operation to capture saddam, and some heavily indegrated intelligence gathering. But that's not the approach Bush would take - he would rather flex his military muscle and bomb the f*ck*rs.
Suzie, no, no guitar updates unfortunately! I'm running out of money again, and to change the pickups will cost a fair amount.....65 quid each, times 3! I don't even have 195 quid left! I've got a pedal up for sale - if I'm lucky enough to sell it I might change the neck pickup. I'll replace the nut with a graph-tec one soon tho, that'll help with tuning stability!

DamIMissNamm - A boomer puke huh? You didn't mention when, I'd assume it was around my time since, as I recall, that series of boats was decommissioned not long after. I was out of Mare Island my enlistment, a nuke machinists mate, how about you?

Realistic and objective? Get a grip.
"When World War II ended, Winston Churchill immediately understood that the victory was incomplete. Half of Europe was occupied by an aggressive empire. And one of Churchill's own finest hours came after the war ended in a speech he delivered in Fulton, Missouri. Churchill warned of the new danger facing free peoples. In stark but measured tones, he spoke of the need for free nations to unite against communist expansion. Marshal Stalin denounced the speech as a "call to war." A prominent American journalist called the speech an "almost catastrophic blunder." In fact, Churchill had set a simple truth before the world: that tyranny could not be ignored or appeased without great risk. And he boldly asserted that freedom -- freedom was the right of men and women on both sides of the Iron Curtain. " (Pes Bush Speech 02/04)
I feel that this freedom belongs to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. It takes time, just hang in there with your short sighted remarks and defeatist attitude, but please stay out of the way.. It takes real people with intestinal fortitude to stomach the reality of what was happening in Iraq six months before the war.
I stand by my comments that your focus is your reality.

"You order shit ... You eat shit!"

Suzie, what do you teach? Maybe you said it in an earlier post? My knee is back to "normal" It was just for that one night. It does that every once in a while. Thanks for asking.
Baduh, hello dear, how are you?
It's a beautiful day outside today. I think I'll go play. I'm going to need to get out my hip waders if I stay on here. This shit is getting deep.

Joe, I just wanted to say thank you. I saw you in concert for the first time last night at the second of three shows at the House of Blues in Chicago. You were smoking and looked like you were really enjoying yourself. I have to admit, you were playing some stuff I would not have expected you to play, Motorcycle Driver comes to mind. I think though, that it made the show a unique scene, and I was glad I was a part of it. Anyway, thanks again. When someone is kind enough to share a bit of their soul with a group of people, you have to recognize and be grateful for it, and I am.

OME...I used to play out quite regularly. Right now I'm in search of a new group of people to perform with. The band I was with never quite improved at the level I had hoped. So I took some time to myself to write, and am ready to perform again...always have my eyes open.
Oh yeah, new experimental demo, well not new new but i figured it's probably new to t2j. just a little techno thingy I came up with...
when my guitar met my computer! hehe it's a fun time...

It was interesting to me to hear that you teach special students and are currently working with a class of autistic boys. That takes a very special person, so you must be one!
Being any kind of teacher takes a lot of patience, dedication and a love of kids, and in this day and age, it's getting harder and harder to educate around what happens to them in their real life.
I have an elementary education degree and have worked with pre-schoolers through 8th grade. It was exhausting work but so rewarding. I'm currently a social worker now, helping the elderly and disabled to continue living in their own homes as long as possible.
I also have an autistic son, he was recently diagnosed with Asperger's Autism, and the challenges in working with him have been huge. I so respect and admire what you are doing, as I have some idea of what you face each day. With my son's diagnosis this year (he's 16, so it's been a long time coming) I finally have some answers and have learned so much about better ways of dealing with him. That's not to say I don't have a lot of grey hairs, dyed of course!!
He started playing guitar in Jan 2002 and hasn't ever stopped. He's very good and is dedicated to making music his life. Playing the guitar transports him to a place he can relax, enjoy and get lost in the emotion of music. It calms him down as nothing else can when he's upset. He is so inspired by Satch, as many people are.
So please don't discount what you do in your professional life, as you are really an "angel" to those kids and their families. And it's also really cool that you play guitar too.... wanna come to Klamath Falls to be my son's teacher and mentor? ;) Rock on!

Cheese 101- thanks so much for your post, that cheered me up!
Working with the pupils I do does take quite a bit out of me patience-wise, but I do enjoy it, it is a lot of fun sometimes, as well as very hard / trying. But interesting at all times, certainly never boring! I spend much of my time trying to pre-empt things, and work out what goes on in their heads - what it is that sometimes sparks incidents off.
That's interesting to hear about your son, glad you got the Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis through- even though it's a shame the diagnosis wasn't earlier, at least you have it now. Knowing what some of our kids at school are like, I have some idea - but only from my point of view- of how tough it must have been bringing up your son. That must take so much patience and hard work! Not to mention with your difficult job on top of that!
I'm glad to hear your son plays guitar, what an excellent outlet for him! Although Joe knows his music touches many people, I bet he'd especially love to hear your son's story.
If I ever go to Klamath Falls area I'll be sure to look it up.
Take it easy,
Suzie

Cheese101- hope this isn't a dumb suggestion, but have you read the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time" by Mark Haddon, by the way? If not- it's written in the eyes of a teenage boy with Asperger's, I thought it was very insightful, a really excellent read. I'm not sure how widely published that book is, not even sure if it's a British author, but think so as it's set in England.

Coincidentally Roger I just did a quick lurk this evening! lol Thanks for checking though :-) I'm in the final stages of the "big move" (hopefully the last one for a while) and so don't have so much spare time, having said that I know sod all about politics (of any country) so it would appear I'd have had nothing to contribute over the last few weeks anyway! LMAO.
Anyone call always email me - I'll be online for another 2 weeks then who knows - it could be months before I get online again. You can rest assured I'll have my Korg PXR4 hooked up straight away so I can still write & record though ;-)
Laters, Dave
PS I revamped my web site and the news page has kinda turned into a blog (although I normally don't like those things) - you can catch the latest there ;-) bye for now!

Hey Suzie2000!!
Yep, I have read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in The Nightime". It was a very good book and gave me more insight into my son. I have also read "The Explosive Child" and it too helps. I find I have to figure out ways to head off my son's "melt downs" and that has been most successful in dealing with him. Learning more and more all the time, so life around here is much better than it used to be! Thanks for the suggestion, I highly recommend those two books for anyone dealing with an autistic child!
