petrucci_js, Keniko thanks for your comments, it just gets so frustrating when youve been on a project for better part of a week, lotta sleeples nites, but what u said about joe Keniko , scrapping the whole project, sometimes u dont want to cause u r so atttactched to the song sounds stupid I know, any way Im actually going away for a few days, axeless, and thats gonna be difficult for me,but might give me a chance to refresh my batteries and see what happens when I come home, its funnny u know, Im definatly a night owl, my hours are usualy from a bout 6pm till 5am when recording stuff, I usually dont see much daylight at all , but I have to really stretch myself when I have to go look after my mum. Ive pulled out of the church music, I just dont have the time for it, Ill always love God and thats the man thing, u dont need a church for that, as I always say my home is my church. and my family is my church , thats all I need..

LOL!!! I am now a CHICKEN WRANGLER!!!

Went to mow my grass after work this evening...started in the back yard and realized I had company...the rooster from next door was there, crowing at me. I chased it, dint catch it and thought, "well, it better stay outa my way!!!"

Started up the mower to do my thang..so the rooster decides to run IN FRONT of my mower the entire time...we just kept going in smaller and smaller circles..... silly cluck... and I'm like, so traumatized, afraid I'm going to mow it over!.....

I finally got the back done, moved to the front and the neighbor girl came outside crying, looking for her pet rooster. I took her and her mom into my back yard, where the 3 of us proceeded to CHASE this stupid chicken around my yard for like, 10 minutes!!! It was hysterical, and the rooster was doing all the laughing, dammit!! LOL!

We finally cornered it on my porch where mom could grab it...lots and lots of sqwauking (I've tried 12 times to spell that right!) and feathers flying..she hands this noisy feather duster to her daughter, and the rooster immediately flops OVER onto his BACK and rolls his eyes up into his head in ecstasy!! I SWEAR he was smiling!!

So then I finally get to pet the rooster, which I've been wanting to do, and also the pet duck...his name is Walter and they want to give him to me...he's white, big and has a very sweet personality....

Delfino, try just walking into some bars and asking if they want staff......in some twisted "we're so cool" kinda way they may not have responded because you wrote to them! That's all I can suggest I'm afraid dude.....employers are assholes. I had an interview once and was told one of the reasons I didn't get it was 'cause I don't cope well with change, even though I told the person "yeah, I think I cope well with change. I started a new college course a month after my dad died, I'd call that coping fairly well". I'm not bothered, cause I didn't want the job anyway, but it's the principal of it.

I'd guess you're being very polite and stuff, as one should be when applying for a job? Maybe you should start being more aggressive?

Either way, keep your chin up dude, and nag your parents....it'd be great to get you down here for Mr Gilbert in a few weeks!

DCK, cool interview dude, you forgot to ask the question relating vindaloo to "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence", I was proud of that question man!!!!

Well, today I rekindled my love for Whitesnake. What an awesome band!!!!!!!!!! Vai's work with them is just stunning...

In other news, I should be finishing up the filming of my tuition DVD 'Creative Virtuosity' this evening. I'll let you all know when it's gonna be available.

Ethn Hayabusa John said "thats where we met John Myung" so thats why its like that. i guess you know him better than he does..lol

mikesb - There's gonna be a Whitesnake DVD? Sweeeeet...

DCK, I was just joshing... John and management are probably not as into flatulence as much as we are at this site... John probably passes wind in the mixolydian mode (short staccato bursts no doubt) LMAO, not the Dorian mode which seems to be favored here!!!!

Clarky please weigh in on this topic, the pressure is increasing!!!

Many thanks for your help. My wife has an ipod so should have itunes.

Another question, I understand you can it twice as much music in the wma format to mp3 so i assume the compression is greater. Does this lead to reduced quality and if so, does it make much of a difference to the listening pleasure.

Good Morning Satchland...... Guess Who?

aussie....... no problem....... have a great time on your trip. I think it's good timeing. Clear the ole' noggin'. I know what you mean about the hrs. when the inspiration hits. Why is that you get your best from 12am to morning?

Cheese......great story. As I was reading I had the image of Rocky running around the fenced in yard trying to catch the chicken to build up speed. That's funny. I got ask you though. What came first ..... The chicken? ...... or The egg?....lol.....

Mari...... That works for me. Thank you so much. email me your address and I'll send you the DVD. In Joe Bonnamassa's defence he had a lot of technical problems all night. There was this strange crackleing sound that would be audible at times through out his performance. They changed cables several times and it didn't help. Also...during one of his solos he made a mistake and stopped playing...looked at the audience.....then his guitar tech.....shrugged his shoulders and kept playing. I thought it was cool. So I guess what I'm saying is he had a bad night. We all have bad nights. It's live. I agree with you. You don't take this out on your fans. The situation just left me with a bad taste. I still catch myself thinkin' about it. As you know on the DVD I pay a little homage to him after we played his song Stone Cold Hearted. Also they have a link to my web site from his fan site bonamassabluesrock. So I waited months to see him get on the guest list and want to tell him all this and he just wasn't interested in what anybody had to say to him. I still love the guy. He's an awesome player. If I copped an attitude against him I'd only be hurting myself IMHO. Thanks again...You're awesome.......email me.... K.....

Satch...... Talk to us..... We miss hearing from you.

Have A Great Day ! ! ! !

Sorcerer's Stone is the correct title... it was the US that insisted it be changed... sorry to butt in!
