Hello Satchland! Good morning all.

Cuthbert1776: Hello to you, good to see people still supporting this site. Well how could you not, right?

My computer is busted and I haven't been able to check out any of the samples of the new album. What would you all say is the theme to this one? I loved ITLIS that was an instant classic.

Joe is so cool. I love the way he is all rocked and blused out, then all of the sudden, he throws those modes in there to make it sound all spacey.

There has never been an album I didn't like. O.k almost a lie, I didn't like EOC when it first came out. Now its my favorite.

Joe man, you are my air, id die if not for you! I breath you. haha. your so god like to me, you know that? Your music is helpin me get through my every day life, with this stupid crap i gotta deal with. I seriously cant thank you enough! Your so...god i cant even explain it. I dont want to scare you, im jus so Thankful for your music. Love ya man. Have a great day! HUGGSS to you!

Mari, Ovation, Cansay- thanks you guys! Thanks a lot, it really means a lot to me :) HUUGGGSS to you guys!

ok...so my journy begins tomorrow, im kinda excited cause i have a feelin somethin goods gonna come outa it. But i dont know.

Kayla

Cheers Mike. I will certainly raise a glass or 3. I am really looking forward to seeing the little fekker.

Whoa I just looked at tick prices for the chicago ahow and they're like 47 dollars. Damn. I remember the EWJS tour being cheaper. Maybe it has to be that much to pay EJ.

You know I like EJ but it's not all that serious. I can get my fill by popping in the g3 vhs tape from back them days.

I like the way EWJS tour was all Joe. He came on the stage and owned it 'til he left. For three days straight he laid it down, just in case someone didn't understand the definition of musician.

Many many MANY good thoughts, vibes and prayers going out to Wanda and Ken this morning........we luv u!!!

And, here's an email message from the producer of Take Note (I posted about this last night, but they've changed the discount code):

Hi Cheese101, It was fun chatting with you last night. I hope you enjoy the episode of Take Note with Joe. By the way that was taped in Portland in 2005. If you'd like to spread the word, I have a discount code for the DVD that actually works now. this code: Y76GNKSN will give a $2 discount. I should have the Steve Vai episode up before long. Joe visits on that episode too and provides a little insight into Steve. Have a nice day, Sherrie

So that's really cool! I wonder if that was the April show we went to....prolly....

Fireman-

God bless Wanda and family.

gotta have Joe-

Kayla, good luck and take care on your trip. Stay strong and keep the faith. It's all gonna work out.

Apple rolls out new iPod home stereo box, Mac mini

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. (Nasdaq:AAPL - news) on Tuesday introduced a new iPod "Hi-Fi" home stereo system and a new Mac mini powered by an Intel (Nasdaq:INTC - news) chip the company said was nearly five times faster than the previous version,

Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said the iPod home stereo, which is not designed to be portable but is easy to carry, is compatible with all versions of the iPod. The machine sells for $349 and is available today.

"It's a home stereo reinvented for the iPod age," Jobs said.

The latest addition to the iPod family marks Apple's latest attempt to tighten its grip on the booming market for digital music machines.

Apple is far and away the leader in digital music players, with nearly 62 percent of the U.S. market for MP3 players in the fourth quarter of 2005, up from 52 percent in the year-earlier quarter, according to market research firm NPD Group.

Since the IPod's introduction in October 2001, Cupertino, California-based Apple has sold more than 42 million of the sleek devices, with about a third of that total coming in the fourth quarter of 2005. iPod sales accounted for 51 percent of the company's $5.75 billion in revenue in that quarter.

Apple also introduced on Tuesday a new Mac mini with a single core Intel chip as much as three times faster than the previous version. He also said the Mac mini with an even more powerful dual core Intel chip was nearly five times as fast as the previous version.

The Mac mini is Apple's entry level machine aimed at people who already have a computer or are thinking about replacing one because it is sold without a monitor, keyboard or mouse.

Jobs said the single core Mac mini sells for $599 while the machine with the dual core chip retails for $799. Both models are available today, Jobs said.

The new products come as Apple is moving its entire lineup of Macintosh notebook and desktop PCs and servers to Intel microprocessors by the end of 2006.

Hey peeps.......Im Back.

Sorry I have been away I have finaly finnished the studio I can now start recording.....I will try and get some pics sorted soon........ Man I am still on stupid Dial up internet,,,, This shit is to slow..... getting the band at weekend.

So another 3/4 weeks on and still no G3....

Not to long now only 14/15 Day's to Supper C

Stay Safe,

OllyNo1, are you still using your JCM800? As far as I know they're 16ohm amps, aren't they?

Anyway, there should be something on your amp, or cab, or literature that came with either, telling you what the impedence in Ohms is. And if it's 16ohms, you need a 16ohm hotplate....that's the bright electric blue one! THD colour-code the Hotplate for different impedences.

Oh cool, that's the Laney you got?! Mikey D (ovation1) might be interested to hear about that, as I mentioned it to him the other day. I duno...he might not be interestd at all, but anyway, as practice amps go, those things are pretty fabulous! haha.

Fireman......I hope all went well for you guys. God bless.

gottahavejoe...... gottahaveyoursister. We're pullin' for ya. Good Luck. Hugs.

SteveeT..... I'm fine. Thanks for askin'. Cindy's a little down. A vertibrae in her neck has pinch the nerves effecting her Left arm. She's been out of school for two weeks and they're going to start docking her pay. SUCKS. She has been in a lot of pain but on the mend.....nothing life threatning just a little bump in the road. We'll get through this. Somehow we always do. Like I told Fireman....LOVE is the best medicine. Take Care.

Joe....Pod Casts are awesome. I love them all. Kinda wish "Super Colossal" was a twenty song CD. I'm going to miss watching new ones when "Crowd Chant" is posted....lol.... Take Care and We'll see you in Chicago on April 5th. God Bless
