962 Ah nothing too major man, I could just see life's 'little expenses' mounting up before me when I looked a bit harder. I figure it's better that I pulled the plug before the expense and landed myself in the doo doo. Shame cos the wife was behind me as well :-/.................... next year bro', next year :-)

Delfinos Lets just say its...erm...well on a scale of 1 - 10...its experimental lol Thanks man I nearly choked on my apple - lmfao ;-)

Badduh Hard times for you man, I feel for you bro' and hope that the sun will shine a little brighter for you. Hope the little guy gets well soon. Watching your kids suffer is the worst thing in the world. Stay positive man.

Slanshroom You fucking rock man, one word, virtuoso!

FabLawyer Thanks for the link man, I've already got the rest of that page on CD :-)

Stevee T - Not to be an ass-hole or anything, but is there any chance you could keep all of your "wassups" to different people to one post as it is really difficult to read. Cheers bro....

Oh and Ibanez89 stop posting the same message several times as it comes across as agressive and no-one will want to help you.

Mowlie_2000,

I prefer to treat individuals as such, but I will try to limit to correspondence....hopefully not too many people will want to talk to me anyway....lol!

How's you doin?

VFRocker - That is so cool that you are into Y&T. I don't run into too many people outside of the Bay Area that are into them. Being a late 30s Butt rocker, that grew up in the Bay I have seen them many a time. I just saw the other day that the individual albums are being released, as Japanese imports, finally. That is great because even though they had a lot of trouble writing tunes, long story, when they did most of them were really good. And they were a pretty good live band. Not overly showy or theatrical but solid. My fav "Ballroom Boogie."

So many have paid to see
What you think you're getting for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
You ain't gonna get too far

CHORUS:
(Oh here she comes)
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Oh here she comes)
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She's a maneater

I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly man, she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
Ooh, the beauty is there but a beast is in the heart

CHORUS

Slansh and Fablawyer, Thank you for that tune... All I can say is WOW... I do hope Joe listens

Joe, have you ever played with john mclaughlin and/or jeff beck in concert? If not would that be possible? If so would you ever consider it again?

Thanks,

Stevee T - I am very well thanks especially now that Xmas and New Year is over as the run of shows that I did was nie-on criminal (3days off from the start of Dec till last week!!!). I now have a little break and then it is back to it. You???

Congratulations on the new job.

Sex is good for you

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.

2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.

3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!

5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.

8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

HEY SABBATH 666 GET OFF FROM HERE NOW !

MikeSB Thanks for the heads up man :-) Funny that you should mention Gary Moore, the phrase 'the American Gary Moore' popped into my head as a description of Dave Meneketti.

Civgeek Solid is a great description. I've been a fan since the early 80's. They have never really been big over here in the UK but people who like them love them. Mean Streak is still my fave track, the opening riff and the solo are hard wired to my adrenal gland - lol

AdrianOrb Congrats on the job man.

962 It's a beautiful piece of wood man and no mistaking. I'm definitely not beat on this one though, little by little I'll work towards it but................ priorities *sigh* - lol.

Hey Joe

Sorry I have not posted for a while I have just been promoted at work and the work load is big, so hard at work for me. the hours are better 9 till 5.30 mon to fri so i get all my nights back noneof this late shift stuff.

A lot more time to play YEY.

Stay well

VFRocker - That's funny that they were never really popular in the UK, they were never all that popular over here either outside of the San Francisco area. Meanstreak is a great album. I do like the intro to Black Tiger. The intro is cool with that chunky line and the animal sounds in the background.

Woke up the next morning w/ a trash can head
When I looked to my left, ooh I wished I was dead
There's Frankenstien's daughter all curled up on me
I said "I gotta' go home it's an emergency!"

Joe! Glad to here you are feeling better! I started picturing a sad world without you in it. Thank God you are getting better !!!!!!

Brother Al: Thanks for the backing page.

To everyone else,

"Be excelent to each other. Party on, dudes!"
