It's really an honor to sit here and write tis short message to you. I'm from Belgium, so if my english isn't so good I'm sorry. I really like your music, I listen to it every day and it touches me every single time. I play the saxophone, and I resently started play the guitar all because of you, so thank you.

My medicine sometimes acts weird to me. And It caused me to lose balance.

And I fell, Right on My Head again, just like with the Seizure thing :-( Full Body weight.

I even heard crunching going on, But passed out, And awoe with really bad pain's. I can barely move my kneck, and My whole head feels strange.

One cant go see Joe, Like this :-( So I will be doing a lot of sleeping, and resting, I soppose....But Nothing broke, So thats Great new's, Say's it was crtlidge, and mucles that were being "heard" crunching.

My Face has a bunch of wound's, Now.Again. The black eye, and the other Pains were just getting better to, from that last episode.

But Hopefully, I will be in shape for Joe!!

Joe - We Have Friends in Common - Small World!

My boyfriend and an aquaintance of yours - Gennaro Cannelora are best childhood friends and old 'jamming' partners. I have put my name on the list for after show passes - it is Mike's (boyfriend/Gennaro's buddy) 43rd birthday and I bought 4 tickets to your April 16th gig in Portland, OR. Mike and Gennaro (then known as Eddie) jammed together in East Bay in the late 70's and 80's - Mike is a Bass player - Gennaro is trying to get with Mike to book some Portland gigs for him. Mike has also played the waterfront blues and jammed with many of the well-known in Portland - Not a bio for any other reason than to let you know that our world is a small place and it would be wonderful if we could get to see you after the show!!

Stevee T, haha, "the blue one's the sexiest".....I concur. I love the Strat and SA1260 to bits, but the GIO just looks so fly now. I've always wanted it to have gold hardware, and now it does and it's even hotter than I expected! I am amazed by how good it is sounding too. The neck/middle pickups are only Ibanez S1's, but they respond brilliantly to it being tuned C-C!

Hope you enjoyed your lesson!

And the GIO, now with all it's upgrades done, is also sounding great! have a look at photos of it here - http://community.webshots.com/album/121661929VRygwS/2. Click the "GSA600" thumbnails to view them bigger!

Esterela- Thank's I am so Happy You Like it! You really make A bright ocassion, Even more brighter! I alway's Look forward to Your Lovley, Daymaking, post's and well wishes! And thank's!! And, I do belive You! About seeing Joe, Thank You for the encouragment You Are Such A blessing! :-)......................... .........BIG BAD MOON- Yeah, Thank's, The mixing is going ok, Threw a lot of stuff out. Hearing it back, and putting it up with other stuff, I heard. I redid, A Lot of Thing's! Thank's for asking! Hope Your doing well!..........................962- Simon, Wow! Dude, Thank's for the way cool Photo's! Very Impressive, Thank's for sharing! Yeah, ya' know all of My Guitar's, are all very not stock. I gotta' tell ya' after Xperiancing the "powersound's" All they wat to the "evolution's, and Emg-Hz's, and everything else, I found the sweetes tone, That sound's awesome through A "cheap" set-up, such as I have.

EmgHZ, in the bridge, and The hottest Seymour duncans in the kneck-That was it! No need for a 1000 pick=up's or All one of A "HOT" pick-up, but the flavor of the 2 Very sweet, indeed! Thank's again, Hope Your having a great Day! And thank's for the cool Suggestion! for My soft head! :-)............. ..................Supa'Dave, Guiatrmeister, Dito. It's a good thing You dont live here in the East Bay! "RAP CRAP" is all they play, And it is as Irratiting as anything! I understand exactly what your saying! Let me tell You from a wise sort- There are million's who LOVE to be insulted! And abused, and Laughed at! And those thing's sell! BIG!! look at the very stupid TV shows played around Peoples living rooms. Look at who's winnning Grammy, By the handfull-Literealy. It will keep growing to! "Darkness" Came out because they said almost word for word, what You said You would lke to do with Your band.

It dosen't end. The main quest is to Find Your audience. And embrace that. Which is hard to do, But Possible, Fibnding audiences that is.

Also, Alway's Love what You enjoy, once that stop's. Then The Musical magic drops out, and there is no reinforcment.

Maybe just take a break, A breather, Or even A Hitus.But Dont Lose The Heart of what You enjoy, Because a few folk's have different musical "tastes"

Hang in thre My freind, The Audieance s Listening!

Take care, God Bless,

And alway's never give up on Any dream!

DCK:Y should have a version of Spanish Zenfish tonight thanks t Ronnie,just caught the dude b4 he headed off t the gig & sent it 2 him by msn.I cant access my mail t send or recieve here because of this spyware prob,let me know if it got through bro,thanks

Hi SatchPlanet!!!Just want to share my Zen moment...:

listening to :Voices of Xendra...

A Conversation of Waves

by Derek Lin

There was once a small wave who was unhappy. "I'm so miserable," it moaned. "The other waves are big and powerful, while I'm so little and weak. Why is life so unfair?" Another wave passing by heard the small wave and decided to stop by. "You only think so because you haven't seen your own 'original nature' clearly. You think you're a wave and you think you're suffering. In reality you are neither."

"What?" The small wave was surprised. "I'm not a wave? But it's obvious I'm a wave! I've got my crest, see? And there's my wake, little as it is. What do you mean I'm not a wave?"

"This thing you call 'wave' is merely a temporary form you assume for a short time. You're really just water! When you understand completely that this is your fundamental nature, you will no longer be confused about being a wave, and you will be free of your misery."

"If I'm water, what about you?"

"I'm water too. I'm temporarily assuming the form of a wave somewhat larger than you, but that doesn't change my fundamental essence - water! I'm you and you're me. We're part of a greater self."

PEACE...LOVE...KINDNESS...

STevee T! You are welcome! About warm up...........ppl liked our tunes. About knocking out............we are far from it. I'm interesting how many languages do you speak............ about your tunes..........I think you will show to everybody who is THE BOSS at Jemfest. LoL I'm also ineresting in........ your tunes were written only by yourself? I mean piano, drums and other recordings you do by yourself? Have you already heard Steve Vai's new album?

suzie2000..i was sceptical at first when i heard petrucci's album would have no keyboards, but the samples have made me consider buying it. which is what they're designed to do. i need to hear 2 or 3 full tracks to decide really.

962..i got shed loads of spare time, it just the lack of people to teach thats the problem ;) but as the summer aproaches (we hope), the karting should get busier and therefore more money than the winter months.

Thankyou everyone for your good wishes! It is a personal goal fulfilled. That was so kind of you all! Yes silentShady, celebrate = get pissed! LOL:-)
