The Preacher is Leaving

The Preacher explains that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him more.

There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave.

Joe Smith, who owns several car dealerships in the city, stands up and proclaims: "If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children!"

The congregation sighs in appreciation, and applauds.

Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and investor, stands and says: "If the Preacher will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary, and also establish a foundation to guarantee the college education of all his children!"

More sighs and loud applause.

Sadie Jones, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the preacher stays, I will give him sex."

There is total silence.

The Preacher, blushing, asks her: "Mrs. Jones, whatever possessed you to say that?"

Sadie's 90 year old husband Jake is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand and shaking his head from side to side while his wife replies: "Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said,......

"Screw the preacher!"

Joe / Jon.....thanks for the podcast. When I click on "video" I only get an "audio" review...but that's ok with me. "Super Colossal" sounds pretty cool, I love that pitch shifter pedal.

Good "Super Colossal" Morning To Ya ! ! ! !

Jon Luini..... One Word......Thanks so much....So I can't count. The Pod Cast is blowin' me away. I love technology and must admit I was oblivious to how this Pod Cast Technology works. This IS the future. It's so like Joe to jump on this to share his music in a way never imagined. Joe one on one with you showing us how not only to play the songs but the inspiration behind them. This is great news. I'm breathless. I'm definetly looking into this technology for my band. This is HUGE ! ! ! Thanks Again and again and.....well you know ! ! !

Joe..... I'm speechless. Thanks so much for the Pod Cast Idea. I am overwhelmed with Joy. You truly are a Super Colossal guy. It's easy picturing you 100' tall with a huge "Chrome Boy" playing a huge riff like you said. A great explanation. I laugh my "A" double "S" off. Thanks for that. God Bless you, your family,band and crew. Take Care. See you in Chicago in April. I can't wait.

DCSlater...... I'm happy for ya bro. Let me know when your CD is released. Also, I like to know how the Blues Jam goes. Play on and tear it up ! ! !

Mari.....How are you sweetie? here's the Customer Service # to Guitar World : 1-800-456-6441 They're real nice and they'll help you resolve your issues. Hugs. How's Rockzilla?

michelle..... Haven't talked to you in long time. How ya been? I have to hang more in the chat. Fear not young one.....you are in great company. That says it all. Hugs to you.

gottahavejoe..... Good morning to ya? How you feeling today? hope all is well. Rest. Hugs.

Have a Great "POD CAST" Day Everyone ! ! ! !

Just a tip, but it would be ideal to have support for IRC in relation to the "Live Chat". Of course, seeming that my linux client is having issues connecting otherwise.

I have no issues connecting while making use of the flash beta chat, but I am unable to see any text that I am typing (username, password, etc). This would be with firefox 1.0.7-0ubuntu20, flashplayer-mozilla 7.0.25-0.0ubuntu1 (the default for a ubuntu install). I suppose a possible solution would be for me to install mozilla-browser 1.7.12.0ubuntu2, and flash 6 from macromedia.com.

WEBMASTER / ANYONE TECHNICALLY MINDED ON LINE

All the other video footage on this site works though

Hrh Fish..... I don't know what your problem is. Have you tried dropping the subscribe link into iTunes? If you don't have iTunes you can download it for free at Apple.

CHEERS BUD !!! I'll give it a whirl ....................................

My system can be a little tempremental needs a bit of spring cleaning I think................

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone had any leads on any signed pix of Joe. I just opened a guitar / music studio in Maryland and thought it would be inspirational to have something like that on the wall for the kids to see.

Thanks inadvance!!

marimariSRV Thanks for your thoughts on that song. That song isn't anything crazy at all, pretty simple. I've listened to that song over and over just because that solo I laid down in it is really, really good (in my opinion). Fits the song real well and has a little bit of everything - legato, sweeping, tapping, arpeggios, and at one part a pretty fast (and very clean) 3 notes-per-string runs.

-I'll be recording some covers with a friend, I'll be doing all the guitar work. Here's what we'll be doing:

-Joe Satriani - Lifestyle -Dream Theater - Silent Man -Metallica - Unforgiven (I'm just doing the solo for it, I didn't really want to cover any Metallica, never really was a huge fan of them...but, they do have some good songs) These next few are instrumentals I'll be doing everything in: -Joe Satriani - Tears In The Rain (I'm working on adding a 2nd, and maybe 3rd guitar into the song, wait till you hear what I've added to it, it's coming along real nicely!) -Steve Vai - Whispering A Prayer -I might do a few other songs by Joe, Vai, Petrucci, and Gilbert... -I'm just doing covers for now until I get totally aquanted with recording on my computer.

-Once they are done, I'll post up a link for everyone to check them out...then you can let me know what you think.

Joe Satriani COME TO NJ ON THIS TOUR! I know you are playing in NY and PA, but I'm already going to about 5 or 6 shows before you play in NY, I'll be in NY two times in the next few months...and most likely will spend a huge amount of money in the next few weeks...I need you to come somewhere close (NJ)!!!

Joe...WOWOWOWOWOW...thats what i gotta say. Just listen to that little clip of Super Colossal... ABSOLUTLY FREAKING AMAZING MAN, SOUNDS SOOOO AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!

webmaster Jon...i was wondering when you'd be able to put up those pics? I know your busy, no rush, just wondering :)...but im hoping to see em up soon:) And thanks for puting up the PodCast.

There is a rock formation in Utah on I-84 that is called Devil's Slide. I was wondering if there is any connection to the song of the same name. If you have ever seen Devil"s Slide you will understand why it has that name. The intensity of the song fits with the wild and ruggedness of the rock formation.

Thanks for any response.

Also, Joe I want to thank you for the excellent music you have brought to the world. You are truely gifted.

Hrh Fish..... I noticed you're from London. Cool ! ! ! The bass player in my band is from England. I'm learning some of your words .....(well it's all English) Like..... Wind Screen is what we call the Wind Shield in the States. It's great I love it. Micks great and I'm proud to have in the band. Check him out here: http://www.thebluesmavericks.com

Shameless plug.....don't you agree?....lol.... Take care.

Just checked out the podcast, super colossal seems like it's going to be great. The song super colossal sounds awesome. I like the octave effect, it's not the Fulltone Ultimate Octave like I was expecting it to be, I'm pretty sure I heard an octave above and below at the same time...sounds very BIG!

MTHead101....okay here.....&)

webmaster - Thanks for the updates.

I can hear the audio tracks just fine, but I can't see the videos. The podcast page says Quicktime 7 is required...I went to Apple's download page, and it says QT7 is only compatible with Windows 2000 and XP (I have Windows ME; I tried the Quicktime upgrade anyway but it wouldn't work).

I've never had problems with any of the webcasts here in the past, but these videos just aren't working for me. I guess there's not a way to make the videos compatible with older versions of Quicktime (*.mov files instead of *.m4v files)?

Oh well...I can still hear the audio, as I said, and I guess I can try to watch the videos on my computer at work later on. Thanks again...I'm sure they'll work for most people, just not me with my dinosaur of a computer. ;-)

I'm soooo lovin the groove of this song, I keep listening to the audio over and over, lol.....people are walkin by my cube wondering why I've got the head-bangin-chair-dancin THANG goin on, LOL......

Castle....yep, Ventura is in our headlights, but we'll prolly wait for an EWJ date, hopefully next to an Anaheim date again so we can go to both nights while we're in sunny Southern Cali!!

Thanks again for the preview Joe, it's totally GREAT!! :)))))

I have a few autographed things from Joe. One I got from his management company (send them a letter, self-addressed stamped envelope) and a few months later - in the mail arrived a nice signed photo and a pic.

I have also gotten Joe's autograph at one of my local music stores - he stopped in for an event - they took pictures and I was able to get 1 thing autographed.

I also met him after one of the shows (platnium package) and got 2 pictures with him and my ticket and pass signed.
