Just a quick HI to one and all! Was at Hammersmith on Tuesday and all I can say is WOW! Thanks Joe for an amazing gig! As soon as Flying In A Blue Dream started I knew I was in for a treat!

Well, Tuesday has come & gone....too quickly. I was hoping to make Bournemouth too, but not this year.
A few gripes...I wasn't too impressed with Hammersmith Apollo. Upstairs the sound wasn't too good, and people were coming & going all the time (checking the football score?)...Also, I had a very tall guy in front of me who kept blocking my vision. Eventually, I went to sit on the stairs & just started to get into it, when it was suddenly over all too soon!!
Just one more lttle gripe....I loved the sustained note, but missed the Raspberry Jam!!! I did manage to ask Joe later, & he explained. of course, they can't play everything...but it sounds as though B'mouth maybe got some jam!! (Should have made the trip....)
OK, gripes over. It was a great night, as always. Made even better for meeting Satriella, Hrh Fish (thanks for arranging the pub meeting!)...and of course Clarky! Plus all you other guys whose names I can't remember, the crazy crowd who go to every Joe concert.....
We had to wait around quite a while to meet Joe on the after show passes, but who cares, when we had a lot of fun, and of course the lovely Jeff chatting to us also.
Joe...if you read this, what can I say that hasn't been said already. Thanks for taking the time & trouble to chat to fans when you must be exhausted after the gig. You never cease to amaze, both musically & as a person. I hope to be able to meet you again someday.
One suggestion...maybe one classic number from each album included in future set-lists? I know you listen to what your fans have to say.
Clarky...well done for Joe listening to your music...for one horrible moment I thought he was going to sign the CD and pass it back to you (he was just putting your name on it!) How amazing is that!!
Hungry for more now. When's the next show?
Bye for now.
ps. Sylvie...if you're on this site, Clarky never got my text on Tues!

Reflecting on Life
After being married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said,
"Honey, 25 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10 inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25 year old blond.
Now we have a nice house, nice car, big bed, and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 50 year old woman. Seems to me you are not holding up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman.
She told me to go out and find a hot 25 year old blond, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed...

Hey Cuth, you impersonating me again today?? Hope you aint crossing the border today.... They'll be trouble...
Bwahahaha
THIS is another of Jeff Healey's sidelines... He performs there weekly on a jam night. Could be anything from jazz to blues to rock at any given time (guitar OR horns) Jeff also owns one of Canada's premier collections of old jazz records (78 RPM) and had his own radio program spinning the suckers. Every couple of years, Jeff needs treatment to fight off another cancerous attack (same disease that took his eyesight) it is a constant battle. Never once have I ever heard him bitch whine or moan about what he has been dealt, he gets on with it with class and grace, a true inspiration. (Damned fine guitarist too)
Slansh, Sayce is another Canadian boy.....

he was so sweet...I gave him my picture of hendrix and said Jimi is your guitar hero and your mine!"I told him I had drawn it especially for him and I asked him if he viewed Jimi differently now than when he first played but he said he was still amazed with his playing especially considering how little technology they had....anyway just like the queen...Mick looked after his pressies...oh john piped up "this is Satriella"....with a big grin he said "Oh your Satriella!".....er I can't remember what else I said to him....oh yeah...wendy said "tell him it's your fist gig"...so I turned to Joe with a big grin and said "This is my first gig Joe and it won't be my last!"...hehe....boy he has fantastic eyes and patience...anyway he signed my Joe picture and said it was very good....Oh I honestly can't remember what else I said I was in such a daze....but I did say that he had to have a cuddle coz I always sign off with hugs...and that hugs were my thing so he had to have one...he willingly obliged...awwww thanks JOE!
One thing for sure, the whole crew including Mick are a right buch of jokers....good job too!
Anyway back too the hotel and gues what I was dreaming of!
Next day I walked miles and miles around London...the highlight of which was going to the Hard Rock store and too my surpirse there on the wall...A Joe guitar and a Steve Vai guitar...wow!

marimariSRV: Go for it! :-) Like slansh said.... We all need to vent sometimes, and thats what we are here for :-)
bahduh: lol bro, I'm going for Italy and the US on those matchups, lol, may the best teams win!.... And the Japan game is on at 4am, lol, I'll watch the highlights tomm ;-)
slanshroom: You know, it's weird watching them Lane clips.... You can hear the drummer trying to figure out what to play, lol, he's just playing whatever, and the bass playa just walked off the stage, haha, nowhere in sight.... As amazing as Shawn was, he did overdo it every time, lol, but when he was in a melodic groove, no one could touch him!....
Clarkysan: Read your chat with Joe and whoa.... I dont think it will be easy to come down from that, lol, way to go bro, you deserve it!!.... Your hard work and talent is paying off, stay kuul man....
Satriella: Wow, congrats girl!!.... So stoked to hear you met up with the crowd over there, lol, I just wish I could have been standing there next to Paul with my dark lager to boot, lol!! :-) Looks like it was great fun for all, and your signed drawing is fantastic!!.... Keep up the great work, I'm sure Joe wont forget!!....

Ovation1:He did overdo it, that was his bad point.Like i said rebel without a pause,lol
Zen:Ok He wrote music based on the blues...yes? reworking forms based on the blues isnt composition either or is it? I have a prob with "Blues Composer" maybe your onto something there, ponder ponder
15 mins later
Yer dead right Fred, he was a blues composer, after a moment thinking about all the other music Classical etc its nothing more than reworked as well, i,d not thought about it like that, aye, cool
