Hey, this party is getting better and better. I think peoples true feeling are being broadcasted. All of yu who responded to my posting(s), thank yu very much. Maybe I should start my own site. Before I signed in it was a bit dull. I can just feel the blood coursing thru my veins. There are some of you holding back out there, I can just sense it. Remember ladies and gentlemen, if you scroll back in time it was not I who casted the first stone. Check it out. I merely expressed my thoughts and view on subjects already mentioned. This is a fact. I shall drop my continued attack on the Bush Bashers because all of us are hardheads when it comes to politics. But you must admit it created quit a stir. I will not let CUTHBERT1776 of the hook.

this is funny >>

>>1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is yours? Do I point at my pants when I ask where the toilet is?

2 People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

>>3 When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". dang right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

>>4 When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

>> 5 When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.

>>6 People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

>>7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

>>8 When people say "life is short". What the heck?? Life is the longest darn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

OCPS470-Just read your entry(s) after my last entry. I think you misunderstand what I said. Weight training does not translate into "brute force". The stronger you are, the easier it is to accomplish work. Work=Force x Distance. If you are weak in lets say the 5th digit pinky you are going to have to bear down and use more force, energy and time to accomplish that simple task. This is common sense. You see, most people who instruct assume that the student has the strength to at least engage the cord. I for one had very weak 4th and 5th digits, plus the fact that I have nerve conduction deficits in my thumb. This was very difficult to overcome. I worked on it extensively and overcame the weakness. Some students are perfectly strong in all digits, but this is rare. Joe is saying that if you have the strength and engage the cord hard, this is a problem. But do you see my point. Strength is essential for playing, period. Not bone crushing strength, but strength enough to allow the student to jump from point to point stress-free instead of having to what Joe calls hammer. I dont care what dumb ass CUTHBERT says, she must think I want to turn the guitarist into a bodybuilder. Who knows. But she does not understand because she is living in the dark ages and is ignorant of science. Nobody expects Joe to know all the science behind what he is teaching.

SteveeT: I got turned on to Red wine when I was in San Clemente, CA visiting family before the NAMM show 2005. We sampled a different vineyard almost every night I believe. I had THE BEST Steaks there......OMG!! Then In Oct when I was in the UK & Holland I had many fine Red Wines. They have all the great French and European Wines much cheaper than in the states....Great Wine. I did quite well in Bodybuilding but since I went back to school I slacked off and I'm outa shape. However, I've been getting my ass to the gym often. it's not everyday but it will be close soon. I fell asleep in the car for 30 mins yesterday at the gym. 4:30 is very early to start the day........work at 6 am! I've been burning the candle at both ends, that won't last long. 22 DAYs till Joe........Won't be long Stevee!! ;-))

Peace.

If Clapton is God - then Joe is his son !

Can't wait to see you in Philly on April 19th - thanks for ride !

DCK: I just got it tonight! I just finished the 1st listen. To me the 1st CD had more diversity& was stronger. Echo is a fitting name. I've only given one listen so I won't really comment yet. The one tract that really stood out was Spanish Zenfish, (Spanish Fly would've been a kuul name too.) ;-)) I'll give you a better review after I've had a few more listens. Great work to all those that contributed!!! Wish I could play good enough to be on there someday....

Ovation: Mikey, I agree with you on Joe's new CD but song #2 Just Like Lightning gets my Blues's moving & my body grooving.....I really like Theme for A Strange World too! I've only got a handful of listens so I need to hear more before the music can penetrate my soul to figure out the album. I really like what I've heard so far......there's a few song's I'm already starting to Love, justa matter of time & listening. ;-))

MTHead: Hey Mark!! How's things in the Great White NOrth?! lol

Alexandre: Hello my wonderful friend! Maybe next week we see Portugal dates for Joe?! Fingers crossed. The newsletter said more Europe dates next week......Hugs!! ~~Sea Eyes~~

WHERE IS SpoonManMick? You still out there Brotha?!! miss you dude!

Hey Joe...

I was wondering about the song "Ten Words" and it's relation to the 9-11 attack. Does this have anything to do with the title?

L8r... =o|-[

Greetings Joe and all

I have never actually said hi to Joe as yet, so there's gotta be a first time lol...... Yeah there are loads of great guitar players out there, but at present Joe is the my only inspiration for continuing. Blinking great teaching on a 'Guitar World' magazine CD ROM :))

Looking forward to hearing your new Album 'Super Colossal' hehe...
