Ovation1 - Thanks again man!

Satriella - Cool, I'm glad it worked this time... I'm also glad you like the tunes!! Thanks very much for giving a listen! And just a heads up, but Tower is more expensive than direct from my site, so don't go through them when you decide to pick one up. I just posted that link because they have the longest clips of all the songs for people to listen to.

Hi Ya you guys,

Been away for a while there's been a lot happening in my world at the moment. Hope you've all had loads of Easter eggs and scoffed your self-silly. I'm teaching a mate of mine to play guitar at the moment and after we finished the lesson we had a bit of a smoke and there was this documentary on channel four about hairy women. I know you mustn't mock the afflicted and I'm not. There was this geezer on the show and you'll never guess what he does for a living. I fell off the chair and ate the carpet!! I'm still laughing about it now two days on. This guy makes a living selling pubic wigs !!!!

What was the train of thought behind that idea? Did he go to a career advisor fill in the questionnaire and that was what the computer came up with!! Can you imagine going for an interview and the guy asks what was your last job? !! You never get it on the weakest link or mastermind occupation: Pubic wig Maker !!Can you imagine going to the bank to try and get a loan to start your buisness !!! I bet they rinse him when he goes to the bank to cash in each week. If some one walked into our local bar and said that's what they do for a living they would never hear the last of it. I wonder if he pulls women with that one "Allo darlin what do you do?" "I make pubic wigs !! "

Even funnier the guy is talking to Asda/ Tescos and Morrisons about supplying super markets !! Buy one get one free!! You get more at a Morrisons stall !!! That’s why Moms go to Iceland !!!!! And that would be the worst the cashier holds it up "How much for this pubic wig ?" Guys who are bald get embarrassed about buying wigs so can you imagine what the stigma would be like buying a pubic wig? I'm 40 next year and I have a full head of hair in both departments but does your pubic hair recede in your twilight years? Isn't it strange that pubic hair stays at the same length all your life? I'm trying to grow mine long!! I want it to be like Robert Plant between my legs!! Put a whole new perspective on head banging !!!!

The things people do to make a living !!!!

Anyway enough hilarity for the moment I've got loads on and a lot of posts to catch up with. 28 PAGES WORTH

Here's some trivia questions for you guys/girls:

- Joe initially gave Steve Vai guitar lessons with another guy at the same time to share the cost. What was the other guy's name?

- What does the now-defunct "Sonic Option" magazine have to do with Joe?

- Joe once told record execs that they were out of their minds if they didn't think __________ had the potential to be an international hit song.

I'll provide the answers (if nobody gets them first) and the source in a day or so.

DCK, SYL are friggin canuck maniacs.....

Joe and the Band, Great show in Toronto! My Wife snagged Gold seats for us. She knew I should see you play again, She wanted to get me to pick up my guitar again! Following your tunes since I saw the Surfing Tour and the Flying I A B D tour...... Took me back alright, opening with that song! My face hurt from smiling by the end of the encore!

We had a lot of fun Chanting too! Wont miss another show here! I have some DVD shopping to do, I can't order the autographed copies from up here, outside the USA...sniff.. Thanks for all the years of the best music ever heard! G

Clarky, they were a blast to talk to. Lots of stories and era by era comparisons of Power trios... Gotta love a band that had a newsletter called "Mule Poop"

962: Does the book you recommended teaches stuff with the tremolo bar and whammy at the same time, or would you recommend to buy a second book that you know?
