Take care every one! HUGGSS to you all!

Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.

As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut-glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom! When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat.

The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and He could no longer resist. "Miss Beatrice", he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this?" pointing to the bowl.

"Oh, yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the Park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter?"

I support Rudy Drawmaster, JOE. I'm a profesional artist and I listen to your music while I work, which is, almost ALL THE TIME... You rock, man... can't wait to get the new album... Redshift Riders, a favourite already...

Yes! It's so close!

Erm, I see I haven't posted here yet, so... I really don't know if it's customary for new posters to do this at all, so if anybody cares, I dunno, here's some mostly pointless Intro: I'm a 16 year old guy in Canada, been playing guitar since the summer of 2005, got interested in Satch by the time I really started to get into it. I admit, I downloaded my first song, it was the Live in San Fransisco recording of One Big Rush. Simply enamouring...in the rush-of-genuine-adrenaline-and-ready-to-kick-some-ass sort of way. Truthfully it's only been what, since fall or so, but I've simply started to flood over his work. And especially after I heard that he had a new album coming out really soon, I really felt I can get a foothold as a fan if you know what I mean (looking up for a new album release is not really common for me, there's not too many artists that I really get to respect and get myself into, including, well, joining the message board too >_>) . And Redshift Riders is going to be complete kickassery, excuse my use of terms >_>

Anyways, even though it might not mean much at all, I hope everyone is doing well over here. I truly hope you will find peaceful consolation in something soon, and as another had said that I truly believe that God will do anything and everything to help.

Formal greetings aside, *glues self to screen to see when the new podcast appears*

hey-- glad to see you all are getting used to the podcast schedule! it makes me feel good knowing that it's appreciated that i put things up at the crack of midnight (or sometimes earlier), instead of waiting until 9am the next morning :}

Hello Gang!

Bringing you early morning greetings and news from the house of The Fireman and Wanda...

Surgery went very well and they took only 3 lymph nodes which is an excellent sign. The doc says everything looks "real good" and Wanda came through the procedure very well. He also commented that those nodes that were removed looked healthy to his naked eye.... And he has seen many, many that didn't look so good in his 26 year career..

She just called and we talked for almost 30 minutes...... She's in great spirits and wanted me to pass on her sincere thanks to you all for all your encouragement and support. She is still talking about Joe's post....!

Every time I told her about another post with her name she would get a very nice loving smile. You people are fantastic and I can't thank you enough.

She is looking forward to coming home from the hospital tomorrow and starting another chapter on the road to being cancer free again. We see the official cancer doc to go over the pathology report early next week, so I am anxious about news of any more procedures or follow-up therapy.

She also wanted to know if there were any Portland dates scheduled for Joe's tour yet. I hated telling her "no, not yet" as this was the worst news she had all day!!! :)

G'Nite Satch Land. And thanks so much again......

I'm several pages behind, but I just heard the new track and I'd like to be the first to say it...

I've got a fever......and the only prescription is.........MORE COWBELL!!!!!!!!!

:-)

OCPS470 - Yes I have been reading some bad things about the powerbrake - I haven't seen anything bad about the Hotplate however! This is the one I have gone for!

Ovation1 - It's a Laney LC15R - you can get the LC15 slightly cheaper but it hads no reverb or effects loop which is essential to me! Don't be fooled by this baby's lower wattage! I can't even get it to notch 1!

One interesting thing i found when researching the hotplate was that in volume a 15W amp is 70% as loud as a 50W amp. This amp is not something that is over a third quieter than a 50W! This site www.amptone.com has loads of interesting stuff on amps. The sort of wattage of an amp for bedroom practice at a reasonable volume would have to be under 1W!!

Just some interesting info there!

962 - Uh oh! I hope I haven't ordered the wrong one! I have the JCM900 and I am running it through a 2 x 12. I'm pretty sure that the JCM900 allows tyou switch between 8 and 16 ohms. Being that it is a 2 x 12 cab I use i'm pretty sure this is 8 ohms hence ordering the 8 ohm Hotplate!

I'm also hoping to be able to use this Hotplate on the Laney as well as I love the tone when it's cranked (only gone 1/2 way so far for one chord as so loud!)

Hopefully it's right!
