Hey Joe,

I'm very proud to contact you. I'm Jean-Michel and working as bands manager in Paris - France. I'm managing BUMBLEFOOT here for Europe and we are curently working on the next BBF European tour in october/november. I know you met him last summer and this meeting was a very good surprise for you. Well, I just want to know maybe you'll be in europe this time and you can be on stage, one time at least with BBF, it could be a great pleasure for all of us. Feel free to contact me, we can talk about everything. I'm looking forward to your answer.

Best regards,

I cut my teeth on an Apple 2GS. When it came time to choose a platform for music. I choose Mac 'cause it's easier to move around on for me and I knew I was only using the Mac for music and DVD creation. PC owns the business world. I have a Digi 002 with Pro Tools LE software. I love this system for so many reasons. As far as running PC stuff on Mac. There are cross platform programs. The cool thing with Pro Tools is you can create a file on a Mac and open it on a PC(providing the PC has Pro Tools)You just save the file with a PC ext. and bamm it opens on the PC. Thats another reason why I stayed with Mac. With that option you can still have PC customers. Plus there's a movie track in Pro Tools. I video taped and recorded my band live. I than imported the video into iMovie and created the DVD. Than I bounced the recorded tracks into Pro Tools along with the video on the movie track. Lined the audio with video and bamm, had locked audio to video.. This works seemlessly and I had myself a great little DVD of the band. The cool thing about that is I use it for promotion 'cause the video don't lie. Club owners can see exactly what there getting plus they're impressed that you created this yourself. Some of the songs are posted on our web site. Check it out if you want. Garargeband is great and it's getting more powerful with updates. You can record 8 tracks at a time now and it also has a autotune feature to tune vocals. GarageBand songs will play on a PC if you save it as a mp3. I don't remember if you can save as a wav file. I hope this helps.

OCPS470 - I was thinkin' about your problem with your drummer. Try a plastic freezer bag on the snare. A towel might dampen the snap from the snare. I've never tried this but it's thicker than a Baggie but more transparent than a towel. It could work. What do you think?

id like my music page to look like a juke box ie oldies style thatd be cool the band sound really cool, be good to see how the video turns out , whats the sound card like on the macs?

FRENCHFANATIC, Bienvenu sur le site! There's a very good chance Joe will be playing in Europe this year. He said last January "We are looking into a few European summer festivals as well..." but there aren't still any news. I'm waiting for that too (and lots of European fans of course :-) so we must stay tuned and wait if one of those festivals is in our area. Fingers crossed!

Me and Joe in Ljubljana (G3, 9th July 2004)

Tasty, Stevee T, whenever talking about beans it reminds me of THIS famous album cover...

Read the little blurb about the foto shoot, funny......

Delfino, dude that sucks about the college assholes banning rock bands! haha....their loss.

Hope you have a cool time at the party's, play it cool with the hottie you don't know......will you be taking photos at this one too? ;-)

I've never noticed the cardboard crowd at the end of Ronin.....I'm unsure as to whether or not to look out for it....I'm intrigued, but I don't want to ruin my experience of the film!
