Cheesy girl,
and all who responded to her post
Your grace, dignity and happiness to share impresses me and I am not that too easy to impress.
Complainers about political posts
As previously mentioned, this forum is supposed to be a free stream of consciousness. As a non musician, but music lover I haven't got much to say about guitars and their technical qualities but I do like to interact with fellow Joe fans.
I think that Joe's music is all the better for the fact that it transcends the vast gulf in political and moral opinion of his fans and maybe, just maybe the world would be a better place if we all took a little more time to consider others' opinions as we are connected by Joe's music.
Keep rocking everyone
Steve.

Joe, please please come to Guam or the Philippines. I would fly to the philippines to see your concert but Guam is a United States territory. I just got a JSX 212 combo and I am wondering what your settings are. I am still getting the feel for the amp but I am loving it. Thanks for the quality equipment in your JS series guitars and work with Peavey. I have a JS 2000 and I love it. I can't wait for the dvd and the new material early next year. What can we expect? Later

20 pages behind...no time or energy to catch up. My cat Moey is sick, and I think this might be the end for him. I'm so incredibly sad. His senior well check showed he had diabetes, and since his trip to the vet a week ago, he's just gotten sicker and sicker. He was still eating and playing before his trip to the vet. Now they're saying the stress of the diabetes might have brought out a heart problem, or vice-versa. He just lays in the kitchen trying to catch his breath. My heart is broken. He's such a great cat. My family is so sad.
I'm going to mark this as last read. Forgive me for not answering anything that was directed to me. Good vibes and prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Marshall Field's To Change Name
CHICAGO - It has always been much more than a department store. It's the magical place where parents brought their children to see the windows at Christmastime, where those children grew and did the same with their kids — stopping, of course, to visit the one true Santa Claus.
It is Marshall Field's. Or simply "Field's" to everybody in Chicago.
For longer than anyone can remember, Marshall Field's has been one of the few constants in an ever-changing city. With its famous clock, the store that was built in stages between 1892 and 1914 is as much a part of the city's landscape as Wrigley Field and Sears Tower.
On Tuesday, Federated Department Stores Inc., said it is planning to change to Macy's the name of all 62 Marshall Field's, including the one on State Street that dates back to 1892. And if it seems like just another merger or name change that happens all the time with very little fuss — even in Chicago, there wasn't much noise when the White Sox's Comiskey Park became U.S. Cellular Field — to those who grew up with Marshall Field's this is different.
"It's so awful I can't even believe it," said Tracy Kepler, a 37-year-old attorney who can recall in vivid detail time spent at the store as a child, including the trip to see the windows every Christmas Eve day, followed by a meal in the Walnut Room.
Kepler said she e-mailed the news to all sorts of people, including ex-Chicagoans who live all over the country.
"Everybody is outraged," she said. "I e-mailed my girlfriend who lives in Colorado and she had a conference call with her parents who now live in Omaha and her sister who's in Shreveport (Louisiana), and they're all commiserating about it."
Carol Kuhn of nearby Lake Zurich agreed. "Marshall Field's is Chicago," she said.
Jeanne Bedon of Park Ridge has her own memories of the store, starting with the Christmas parties that were closed to the public that she got to attend because her mom worked there every year. "It was so glamorous," she said.
It also was something that was uniquely Chicago. Despite being the template for stores such as Filene's in Boston and Gimbel's in New York, Marshall Field's belonged to just one place.
Chicago's biggest cheerleader, Mayor Richard Daley, took a different view.
"Things change. If you aren't willing to accept change, then you stay in the past and we're never going to stay in the past in this city," he said. "The thing that I like is that they're going to reinforce that store as a destination, just like Macy's in New York."

Condoms Are Named for Clinton, Lewinsky
BEIJING - A rubber company in China has begun marketing condoms under the brand names Clinton and Lewinsky, apparently seeking to exploit the White House affair that led to the impeachment of America's 42nd president.
Spokesman Liu Wenhua of the Guangzhou Rubber Group said the company was handing out 100,000 free Clinton and Lewinsky condoms as part of a promotion to raise consumer awareness of its new products.
He said that after the promotion ends, the Clinton condoms will go on sale in southern China for 29.8 Yuan ($3.72) for a box of 12, while the Lewinsky model will be priced at 18.8 Yuan ($2.35) for the same quantity.
"The Clinton condom will be the top of our line," he said. "The Lewinsky condom is not quite as good."
Liu said the company had chosen to use the Clinton name because consumers viewed the former president as a responsible person, who would want to stress safe sex as an effective way to prevent the spread of the HIV virus.
"The names we chose are symbols of people who are responsible and dedicated to their jobs," he said. "I believe Bill Clinton cannot be unhappy about this because he's a very generous man."
Liu said the company did not believe using the Clinton and Lewinsky names constituted a violation of copyright or other laws.
"We have received full approval from the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau to start production," he said.
Clinton has campaigned aggressively for heightened AIDS awareness in China, where the disease is spreading rapidly.
In impeachment proceedings conducted by the U.S. Senate in 1999, he was acquitted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. The charges stemmed from denials he made about a sexual relationship he maintained with Lewinsky, a former White House intern.

An INXS "Star"
INXS hopes to have found a new sensation in the form of a onetime Elvis impersonator.
The Australian rock band tapped J.D. Fortune as its lead singer on CBS' Rock Star: INXS Tuesday, ending 13 weeks of American Idol-style competition among 15 performers.
"We're a band now," the 31-year-old Canadian singer told E! Online after his win.
"We're complete. That's an amazing thing. And I don't think age has anything to do with it because music is a language, and if you speak it fluently you can speak to other people in that language. And we all speak it fluently."
Fortune--who once paid the bills by imitating the King and, when that failed, lived out of a car--was true to his name, beating out Chicago rocker Marty Casey and Australian performer MiG Ayesa in the one-hour Rock Star finale.
The three performers each got to choose a classic rock cut to perform in front of INXS, cohosts Brooke Burke and Dave Navarro, the 12 eliminated contestants and a live audience at the same Los Angeles studio where American Idol is taped.
Ayesa, who gave up a lead role in the London-based Queen musical We Will Rock You to pursue the INXS gig, kicked off the show with a polished version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Fortune followed with an uptempo take on the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want." Casey ended the set with an intense rendition of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."
After a brief deliberation by the band members--Andrew, Tim and Jon Farriss, Kirk Pengilly and Garry Beers--Ayesa was given his walking papers. (Thus disproving an Internet conspiracy theory that he was the show's ringer brought in by the band and show producer Mark Burnett.)
The five band members then took the stage and performed one INXS song with each of the finalists. Crowd favorite Casey sang "Don't Change," while the brash Fortune, who was portrayed during the season as the most focused contestant, belted out "What You Need." After another deliberation, Tim Farriss announced Fortune as the new frontman.
After the finale, which was taped at 10 a.m., and post-show mini-concert during which the new INXS broke out some new material, Fortune met with the press.
"I'm going to sleep all day," he said, adding that his second rock star indulgence would be to "hang out with INXS all the time.
Fortune's first single with INXS, "Easy, Easy," is out today on Epic Records. It will be followed by a full-length album, Switch, on Nov. 29, with a world tour commencing in early 2006. Switch represents INXS' first new studio set since Hutchence's suicide in 1997.
"He's very passionate," bassist Beers said of his new mate. "He's got a lot of energy. And we feel comfortable about what hes going to bring to INXS and appreciate what we are offering him more than anybody. He's now an equal member of the brain trust of INXS performance-wise and in the studio. And that will unfold as we go along."
The band, with Fortune in tow, will now write songs together in addition to rehearsing tunes from INXS' back catalog of hits in advance of the fall release and impending word tour.
Already, "Pretty Vegas," a song Fortune co-wrote with Andrew Farris during Rock Star, is set to become an additional single, Beers says.
The tune was the second-best-selling single on MSN Music as of Tuesday, behind, ironically enough, Casey's original song "Trees."
Despite losing out to Fortune, the 31-year-old Casey won't disappear. Tim Farris said during the finale that INXS "would like to talk to you about possibly opening up for us on our upcoming world tour."
Meanwhile, show mastermind Burnett said he's already looking forward to a new edition of Rock Star with a different band. "We're in a lot of discussions with people," he told E! Online. "I think that you're very, very likely to see Rock Star: Season Two."

Thanks for the help regarding the Classical guitar situation, everyone!!! My local store has a couple of Admira guitars. The one I like has a solid top and is electro-acoustic. It's about £250, which seems pretty reasonable to me. Haven't played it yet, so I have no idea how things stand in that regard, so does anyone have anything to ay about the Admira guitars?????
Ethn - Thanks dude. I won't be using a pick, most likely. I'm trying to learn Classical guitar properly in order to add another dimension to my technique, and also for something more to put on my CV!!!

MikeSb - Since you ask - I have been putting together targetted lists of people I really want to get a music package to. A few in the US but mainly in Japan. I have been kinda busy lately though moving house and working. Off to San Diego and LA in the morning until Monday as well. I'm getting there though.
Mari - YOU KEEP THAT CD!!! Actually, Mr. Vai has a copy of it already. i sent one to his house a couple of months ago. You might ask if he liked it though :o)
