Davey, I was going to post to you to see if you were okay. I was checking the Atlanta weather on www.weather.com, and it said the winds were still fierce. Watch out the the coming storms. They can be just as nasty. If it's thundering and lightning, stay inside! lol! I just can't help being a mom. LOL! Take care honey!!

Civ, T.O.P. and Santana should be cool. I heard something about Santana having his crew "read", and anyone with bad energy was let go of their position. Damn, I wish I could do that at work. LOL!

I'm taking my headache to bed now. Night peeps!

A Mystery

A man's car broke down as he was driving past a beautiful old monastery.

He walked up the drive and knocked on the front door. A monk answered, listened to the man's story and graciously invited him to spend the night. The monks fed the man and led him to a tiny chamber in which to sleep.

The man thanked the monks and slept serenely until he was awakened by a strange and beautiful sound. The next morning, as the monks were repairing his car, he asked about the sound that had woke him.

"We're sorry," the monks said. "We can't tell you about the sound. You're not a monk."

The man was disappointed, but eager to be gone, so he thanked the monks for their kindness and went on his way. During quiet moments afterward, the man pondered the source of the alluring sound.

Several years later the man happened to be driving in the same area. He stopped at the monastery on a whim and asked admittance. He explained to the monks that he had so enjoyed his previous stay, he wondered if he might be permitted to spend another night under their peaceful roof. The monks agreed, and so the man stayed with them again.

Late that night, he heard the strange beautiful sound. The following morning he begged the monks to explain the sound. The monks gave him the same answer as before. "We're sorry. We can't tell you about the sound. You're not a monk."

By now the man's curiosity had turned to obsession. He decided to give up everything and become a monk, for that was the only way he could learn about the sound. He informed the monks of his decision and began the long and arduous task of becoming a monk.

Seventeen years later, the man was finally established as a true member of the order. When the celebration ended, he humbly went to the leader of the order and asked to be told the source of the sound.

Silently, the old monk led the new monk to a huge wooden door. He opened the door with a golden key. That door swung open to reveal a second door of silver, then a third of gold, and so on, until they had passed through twelve doors, each more magnificent than the last. The new monk's face was awash with tears of joy as he finally beheld the wondrous source of the beautiful, mysterious sound he had heard so many years before.......... . . . .

Hi Joe

My name is Arturo but you can call me Mitch I'm from Mexico City and I am a BIG BIG fan of you. Every time you are in Mexico I am there to see you and liten to play the guitar.

When do you como to Mexico City?

Where is Stu? What is the matter with him?

I hope to seeyou soon

P.S. My english is very bad an If you have a translator let me tel you.

Eres un chingon para tocar la guitarra, no he conocido otro mas cabron que tu.

Espero que vengas pronto a la ciudad de Mexico para verte tocar.

Hey ya'll....Joe...you nearby? Might we read some words from the Master...or maybe...hear some sounds.

Joe, I noticed that you play the wah with your left foot...being a righty....I thought you might use your right foot. Did endless hours of practicing with the guitar propt up on your right leg precipitate the use of your left foot for the wah, or just your natural preference?

Peace. Steve

Hi,

i noticed you (J.S.) are advertized in the d'adario page as using that brand and exactly using a super light guage of nickel wound strings, but can you tell some reasons why you choose them?

This is cheese 101's son again, I was wondering if anyone out there has a digitech whammy, and could tell me how to get a sound out of it that simulates 2 guitars in harmony. There is a harmonizer fx section on the pedal. I know how to work the harmonzier, but just cant understand why it doesn't do the doubling.

Here is joes jsx settings at the guitar clinic. In case anybody wanted them

Channel= ultra Presence=6 Resonance=8.5 Master vol=6 Treble=6 mid=5 Bass=9.5 Volume=5 Gain=7 Fat switch= on nosie fate=7.5

SteveeT...thats a good Joe question.....I always assumed that he used his left foot so that the guitar would stay flat against his hip, versus the right where the guitar would be resting on the leg sticking out. Even though I suck on the Wah using my left foot, I find it more comfortable with that guitar flat against my body. Guess I'll have to work on that.

This is an actual job application that a 75-year-old senior citizen submitted to Wal-Mart in Arkansas.

NAME: George Martin

SEX: Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman (or at least, one who'll cooperate).

DESIRED POSITION: Company President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever's available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't be applying here in the first place.

DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that's not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.

EDUCATION: Yes.

LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility.

PREVIOUS SALARY: A lot less than I'm worth.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.

REASON FOR LEAVING: It sucked.

HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any.

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?: Yes, but they're better suited to a more intimate environment.

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 lbs.?: Of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would be "Do you have a car that runs?"

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, so they tell me.

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job - no, on my breaks - yes.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb, sexy, blonde, supermodel who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I'd like to be doing that now.

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes, absolutely.

SIGN HERE: Sagittarius

Thats seriously funny zinc master, about the senior citizen application.

A doctor placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," he instructed.
