Delphino: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Aunt. Your entire family as well. Cancer is a disease the effects everyone...not just the one that has it. Quality of life is an important factor for those going through it. Each day is precious. Hopefully she will be able to make the most of every day she has......... One never knows how long our time will be here. It's important to make every day count. I know I sometimes take my life for granted... I have so many blessing in my life. I need to be more grateful and live my life to it's fullest. Tomorrow could be my last day, never know.....

Happy Birthday Dude!! I wish you Joy & happiness!! Hace a wonderful day Delphino!

Ovation: Mikey, I'm soo happy I could cry!! I just hope this is the beginning, that it's all going to fall in place....I hope my Karma is in the right place. I was SO nervous when I had to push the send button on the email yesterday. I thought my photos were great but I was worried he wouldn't think so..... just wait till he see the next batch! As I said, gonna Blow your Mind baby....... soon you'll see. EJ & JS?!! Dream come True!! I have to email Jeff (Ej's Tour manger) and tell him I KNOW!! ha-haa! Wait till he sees these photos........

GottahaveJOe: Thanks sweetie! Good luck to you on your Downhill! When does that happen? I'l talk to you soon.... ;-))

Zenfish: Glad you like my photos. Sorry but I'm not divorcing SRV Ghost...he will be with me always, forever & ever. He's a part of my soul......always will be. Just like JOe & SV, but they are not Ghosts, Thank God for that!! ;-)) Did you see thta JOe will be touring with EJ?!! How awesome is that?!

Keniko: Congrats on the Band and new dates to Jam!! *high Five** Blues Dude! I'm so glad you love my photos. Thank you so much!! Rockzilla is standing by, ready to RocknRoll at any time.....I've only had to drive her once since she arrived. I feel better knowing I'm not risking my life anymore for my Job. I'd risk it anytime to see JOe, the 1st time I saw him (G3-03) I drove through a Horrific Rain/Thunder storm and didn't even have a ticket, it was SOLD OUT!! I got a seat in the 6th row @ the Keswick in Glenside, PA near me......the rest is History!! I even made up a sign "Please sell me a G-3 Ticket" on the other side " I NEED one G-3 Ticket!!" LOL.....it worked like a Charm!! ;-))

Night peeps...... I'll be back soon to catch up.

Peace,

Mari

marimariSRV...no doubt your work is worthy of Steve's praise...how righteous of him to give it to you...as you well deserve & earned it....WOW....congratulations of a job very well done...kudos!!!!!

Delfino Pie...my prayers are with your Aunt....

82DeanZ....the JS10th Chromeboy is fabulous....edgier sound due to the luthite body...plays & sound great!

The JS2 PRM has a darker greyish look unlike the bright chrome finish on the JS10th....the pickups along with the added phase switch & Basswood body really make a huge difference in it's very warm sound....it sounds very, very sweet...contrary to popular opinion the JS10th's finish is more durable than the PRM....both tremendous instruments!!

marimariSRV: lol, WE bow to you! :-) It's been great watching and seeing how far you've come in a short amount of time, as your passion for music is shown with each and every show.... We wish you the best on this journey, and EJ & JS next mari!! :-)

Hello Everyone

Hi Joe,

I just wanted to let you know that I have been a fan since the late 80's and I am amazed at how you still are able to come up with new "strange beautiful music" to blow us away with year after year! Your guitar playing really speaks to the listener!

You are truly my favorite guitar player of all time (and are in good company with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Al Di Meola, BB King, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, etc.)! Thank you for continuing to create and inspire!

My favorite Satch song is Circles (which I have self-appointed as my "theme" song!). I look forward to many more wonderful songs in the future and seeing you in concert next time you come to L.A!

Best regards,

mari, big congrats to you. That's awesome!

delfino, happy soon to be birthday !!!

So let it be written, so let it be done - my new kitty has a name : )

I sat down to watch my Godsmack Changes DVD, and figured I should narrow down the list of names we really liked for the cat. I ripped paper into little squares and wrote a name on each piece, which added up to about 10 names. I sat there trying to figure out how and who was going to pick the name, then a lightbulb went off in my head and I remembered that I do have occasional moments of brilliance. lol! Who else better to pick the name then lil' Bubbah himself!! I took all the pieces of paper and crumbled them up into little balls. I called the cat over, and shook the papers in my hand and threw them up in the air. I told the kids that the first one he put in his mouth would be the one. Well, the first one he picked up was Cooper. My daughter doesn't like that name, so I figured we'd let him pick 3, then pick 1 from that 3, and that would be his name. I picked the papers up again, threw them, and let the cat pick up another one (he was diggin' this game too!). Second name was Sully (that's Godsmack Sully Erna, not Monster's Inc Sully. lol!) Third name was Murphy. Now we had the 3 final names. I shook them up in my hands, and threw them down one more time for the final pick. The great thing about it was that he wasn't even picking the paper that was closest to him. He was walking around looking at all of them each time. lol! Anyways, my kitten has named himself.....drumroll.........Sully.

So while watching a Godsmack DVD, having the choice of TEN names to pick from, he picked the singer's name in Godsmack. The other names were Larkin (Shannon Larkin - drummer in Godsmack), Yogi, Tommy, Charlie (Benante - Anthrax drummer), Chester, Chedda (cause he's that color), and Bubbah (the name they gave him when he was born).

So that's the way the crumbled paper bounces :)

Satriella, hang in there , life can throw some S****** at u , god knows I've been thru alot latley just hang in there, listen to some satch it usually sorts itself out...

Mari...great news, congrats 2 u!!! Errr, how short is Steve's hair???? If it's too short...he ain't gonna need that fan fer awhile....LOL!!!

Chelly, chelly, chelly.....Sully will always be Bubbah B. Good aka Chester to me......LOL!!! Life is a bowl of cherries at yer house, idn't it!!! Give baby a kissie from his aunt tracie......oh, and Go Steelers....I guess....what do i know....LOL!!!

Mari.... I'm so happy for you. You deserve it and you worked very hard for this. I'm glad you have Rockzilla and she's serving you well. Thanks for the comments on the band. It means alot to me cause you know how I feel and how long I waited. Patience pays off. It worked for me and it's working for you. Congrats again. Hugs.

SteveeT..... Site is fine now. Thanks again for the heads up. Computers? When we updated the site we didn't touch the media page. We looked at the action for the mp3's it was gone. We couldn't figuire out what happened. The only way you can change this by typing in the info or deleting it. Weird....but it's working now. Thanks again..
