I wanted to wish everyone a great New Year. My holidays were very good. I spent X-mas with my family in CA. We really look forward to this trip as we only get to see them once or twice a year. I tried to catch Tracie (Cheese 101) and Steven Wylde while I was down there, but was unable to do so. I was bummed about that. I do hope to see some of you at the Vai show in April. Tracie you and the boy have to come up a day early.
For New Years the band I’m in had their first gig. It was a small party, which fit us good, as we are still a little rough around the edges. We only had 2 major train wrecks and a few mess-ups that were not as noticeable. We apologized to our host and were happy to hear that we were honest with him as to our ‘polishedness’ and he knew what he was getting. So, he hired us for two more shows based on the musicality of the group and a strong, different, and modern set list. We did play “Summer Song” and I only missed 1 note that I’m sure went unnoticed. There were a couple other guitar players there that were very complementary. Our other guitarist asked if I noticed people getting into the song but I told him all I saw was my fretboard. Anyway there is the update. Later.

howdy everyone-- i did a quick checkup and joe is still pretty knocked out, but on the road to recovery! i still can't believe he played those last two shows with the energy he showed in the state he was in! we'll keep you informed as he continues to recover and we get an idea of when the makeup dates for the postponed shows will be.
also, i wanted to thank everyone who has sent joe get-well messages. the best is always to post 'em here since i can't forward all of the emails to him.

So sorry to hear you are not feeling good. Take good care of yourself and don't rush to get back on the road. Make sure you are well and pump up. Just chill, do some at home jamming and enjoy some well deserved time off. But please don't make me wait too long to see you out on the road. I missed your New Orleans show. I'v got a Mental case for a soon to be ex-husband and he was stalking me that weekend so I had to cancel the whole weekend. Just get better and take care. Keep the hill groove going.With love and well wishes. Ashley(Sunnygirl)

Hey joe...Dreamtime fan wishing you a strong recovery from that which ails you. Merry Christmas and may the New year shine eternal light within your being. I have to go to the doctors myself, I think I'm getting a throat infection. I missed the full moon this Christmas, I don't know where she went. peace be with you and all of your fans... sin*

Re: Zinc Master
The brain cannot process "OF". Incredible or what ? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare
i counted 4 F's - but i think it was only because the last OF stands out, that's the one i counted. the other OFs i missed! :O

I am finally back from an insane xmas and new year set of gigs. It went very well indeed and there were some funny stuff that happened such as one of the female singers getting caught on CCTV at 04:45 on some swings, smoking a cigarette wearing nothing but a pair of trainers and a scarf!!!!! The best bit about that was when one of the hotel managers told her about it!!!!
So whats new in here? Anything I have missed???
Aarren
PS. Get well soon Joe....

Hi Joe,
i'am back in berlin/germany from my very very sad trip to ventura/ca. It was a dream of mine to spend new years eve 2004 with you, so i become a platinium member. My kids gave me this very special week as a x-mas present. Imagine my shock and frustation to find 6.000 miles away from home and separated from my family a handwritten poster: "...postponed due pneumonia". The fact of not cancelling but only postponing the shows is not very helpfull for me. In other words: nobody will get his money for unused tickets back.Actually i dont think that i'am able to spend another 1.500 $ for a second trip to L.A. I am very sad und unlucky about this.
I hope you will be back 100 Percent very soon. Nobody is perfect, even a perfect guitarplayer. Take care
Mathias

Yoda - it's the 9th of Jan... like this Sunday....
I'll call and we can talk more about it then..
SteeveT - I don't feel like I'm at a dead end... there's tons more music in me...
I just feel the need to out-do myself every time...
and out-doing the Baptist is going to take some out-doing.. lol..
delfino - I'd save double hard and do both... Vai and studio stuff... lol... or prioritise.... go see Vai... then save for the studio kit....
I've not worked out a price for the album yet....
I'll look at all that when it's done and ready for sale..
Steven Wilde - I got the card... thanx bro....
good luck with the midi stuff.... it's grief to get working but worth it...
the Japan dates are in April..
Jan until then is all rehearsals... yuck...
Mikey - "My son.... You have snatched the pebble from my hand!!.... "
give it back... it's mine you goddam thievin' bastard... lmao...
Slansh - you're a very nice player... I'm looking forward to your album too...
alexandre - I have many compositional methods... the key thing I think is not to stick to the same method all the time....
this way you'll have greater variety...
Shell - shit!!!! - where have you been all this time.... happy new year and it's great to see you back again....
