Fireman: My thoughs and prayers goes out to you and your wife Wanda also.

A big thank you goes out to everyone........... Especially you JOE . You should have heard the squeal-yelp she let out when she noticed her name in BLUE......... Wow, thanks a million.

Wanda is in very good spirits and is looking forward to the end of the recovery road........ Sometimes we forget just how precious life is and take it for granted. Sometimes we just need to SLOW down a bit and smell those roses...

Looking forward to after all this stuff is done....... I haven't told her that I ordered a new JSX head about 2 days before we found out about this......... Hopefully I wont be in too much trouble...... lol..........

Had my first gig in 20 years last saturday night.... Our annual awards banquet for the fire department. We played 22 songs and rocked the house. Everything from country to Hard rock.... It was 70's retro themed and Wanda looked so very HOT...... We won the best dressed couple contest. I was dressed in the cheeziest 70 garb you can imagine and it payed off.

Well thanks a million all and I will keep you informed.

thefireman...sooo glad to hear Joe's message landed in the right place....seems like your lady would be fine with the JSX...if my instinct serves me correctly....peace...steve

Do you have feelings of inadequacy?

Do you suffer from shyness?

Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Tequila. Tequila is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. Tequila can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of Tequila almost immediately, and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.

Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past, (well shyness anyway) and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with Tequila.

Tequila may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Tequila. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister.

DC Slater....come on...we'll have a piss...

michelle...although I've laid off the sauce considerably....Tequila is a stimulant too...it fits my chemistry just right...Patron works nicely....lol

mikesb....yupper's...I was at the driving range an awful lot a while back...I love the Bloody Mary's whilest driving around in the cart (trying to find my balls in the trees)....lmao...damn that tequila michelle...rotflmao!

Joe Satriani-

How cool to drop by and wish Wanda well! I am so impressed that a global mega star cares so for his fans. What a class act, indeed! You are a Super Colossal being.

Luvmusicbabe-

I'm new to the board, but I've followed Joe since the 1980s. Answer: It's all good. For a perspective you might try Not of This Earth to see where it all began my other favorites are: Flying In a Blue Dream incredible versatility The Extremist too cool, (#9 or not) Surfing With The Alien words can't describe it or the more current and just as awesome Is There Love In Space? Oh, forget it.... just get 'em all!

Michelle- Didn't we meet in Cancun? Try the Blue Tarantula! Muy Bien! Loss of clothes? lmao!!!! too flippin' funny! yikes, I'm seeing spiders now....

MIkesb- I hear you are the man. Give me a brain drain on Ritchie Blackmore sometime... I checked out your link to Flashback Charts and it made me very depressed... the only hit song listed for my birthdate was 'The Pina Colada Song' by Rupert Holmes. I am looking into having my birth certificate changed.

Satriella- You'll have to school me on 'Come Back Jonee'v= paranoias Perhaps I'm experiencing a brain fart... happens to us oldies but goodies.. hey wait a minute... I'm Joe's age! That's not old. I'm into gigging every chance I get, music trivia, computers, and motorcycles (fast road bikes) and classic American muscle cars--pretty unimaginative, huh? I'm over the age of er.. thirty but I read at a 20-year old comprehension level. I have about a hundred pets including a roadrunner and a free-range possum named Percy. TMI? I'll stop before all the guys start to puke... You are too sweet! ;-+

THANKS, JOE! YOUR MUSIC GIVES PEOPLE HOPE!
