How Are You Feeling Joe?

That's such a shame to get sick like that during the holidays, I hope it wasn't too bad that you could at least hang out ok with the family... Welp, anyways... take care and I hope you're on the road to recovery and ready to rock as soon as you are ready!!!

Take Care Joe...

Yo Joe, When I heard you were coming to Melbourne Australia in March I was ecstatic. The second I had a chance I rushed out to get my ticket, but was shocked to find that only people over 18 could enter due to the availability of alcohol at the bar (being 16 I’m really pissed off). I know the chances of you reading this message are slim so over next few weeks I will be posting it frequently (please do not consider me a pest). Maybe one of your assistants could answer this message for help. (Don’t try and contact me at 123 Fake Street- not real address :-P )

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ¡ ¡ ¡ 2005 it's a year for the happy pickings... Dream...an reach any dream you have.

Dear Joe, I just saw your reply then (1st of January 2005) thanks for watching the message boards. I’m really pleased to find out all my posts got to you (big sigh of relief) and look forward to hearing from you again.

If you wish to contact me you’ve got my email address (Don’t try and contact me at 123 Fake Street- not real address :-P )

Hey Joe, LOVED your concert in Baltimore a few months ago, one of my best nites ever, and i got to meet ya before and you signed my guitar and took a pic w/ me, really thank you for making that day so great.

Happy New Year!

I saw old man 2004 leavin last night. He looked old and grizzled... 2004 was a tough year, specially how it ended.. Also saw the brand spanking new 2005 baby. He looks full of promise happiness and potential!!

Best wishes to all!! May all your wishes come true.

Zen and Beedoo, Bonne et heureuse annee! Que tous vos souhaits soit realiser!!

Wey, it's 2005!!! I hope my hy head doesn't ache like this for the rest of the year... I was so gone last night it's unreal.

Anyway; happy new year everybody!!! Anyone make a New Year's Resolution?

Steven Wilde: I'm warming up on the JEM as we speak bro, and thanks for the well wishes!!.... You ROCK!! :-)

Clarky:Sounds like your finding a working method that works great for y bro.T.R of the Sabine women is going t be a monster track,looking forward t hearing the results as a lot of peeps are here on T2J.Your guest appearance on Blue Bossa/Pheonix street will be mighty i,m sure.Getting a little excited on wrapping up this album of mine myself.Have the last page of the Hungarian Gypsy t mix & the backing is done,bud its been a tough tune t crack.I,m left with the harmony parts for Bachs C- prelude/some solos & its a wrap.Looking forward t sharing it with all here on its completion,the son of a bitch has taken a year t nail best i can,just mindblowing t me how much effort these composers put into their work,i listened & practiced so much the violin/piano & sax solos of so many artists but when i started t play the the chords...Mamma Mia! just amazing,Its lifted me so high & t realize after all those years i,d never payed it so much attention due t ego based nonsence,i,ve been missing the base of it all !

Again,good luck with everything Clarky & all the best in the new year

VFRrocker:"When the wind blows it will bring leaves,enough for a fire" bro,zen does that t y eh,makes y realize that whatever may happen,if y dont have an understanding on the simplest of things y cant survive "wheres the fookin matches,lol" nah but seriously,the complex fusions cant grow well without.Grandmaster Yip Man,just incase y have never come across this name,taught the young Bruce Lee Wing Chun.Yip Chun to whom Yip Man passed on his knowledge,said it well in Samuel Kwoks book "The Path to Wing Chun" "A bud that does not grow well will not grow into a small plant.By the same token,real achievement in martial art can only be built upon a strong foundation.

After i absorbed that & bro it took take the wind out of me & still does,when i realized the simplest of things of music had been overlooked & not given priority,i slumped into a 10 year labour of straightening this plant out.I know also i,ve not achieved my aim as a guitarist yet because of this,but with this in mind,it helps me t realize,there is a time & place for everything,as opposed to my imbalanced ways & now i seek,structure,tone & form,those vital neglected things which are not in my hands right now.So yes,Martial art can make you a better person,its i guess,how i,ve looked at it,albeit in a different form.I,ll never be a Bruce Lee,but i know i can be a better person from what i,ve read of his work.Jimi Hendrix for me was just natural,his heart flowed to the strings like water.All the things i have come t love in music,have that quality,just one of many reasons i like t visit T2J

A very warm & happy new year t y bro

Ovation 1:Just full of surprises aint y,My best t you & yours.Love bein sent t y from here in Barca,your making The Marines shine bro

Zenfish:Had a think about your Joe S,Blues Fusion idea,Joe is for me,the only instrumental guitarist that has so far lifted my soul t feeling good about being alive, i call it life fusion,lol

See y soon in the new year bro

T all in T2J a happy new year.Death Cube,Stevee T,AlexandreCaetano,Michelle,marimariSRV and all,see y all in a month

Peace

Slan

slanshroom: Yo my big brotha!! :-) I'm up at the moment enjoying a cool Orion having talked to the great Alexandre on the phone a few hours ago mate!! :-) My JEM was very responsive, and your so right my friend.... The Marines could'nt shine without us, lol, that's why they use us civilians for this job, lol!! ;-)

Stay kuul man, and keep up the great work!!.... You and Clarky are an echelon way above the rest!!....
