Animal & Buddy ~ WOW!!!!

Now THAT was cool!!

Hi Joe, members of the board,

I haven't posted on here much, but I wanted tell you about something that I'm going to be doing tomorrow night. I've been playing keyboards for 20 years, and I've learned how to play a bunch of your songs on the keyboard. I have learned to play guitar songs and sound like I'm playing a guitar but with using a keyboard. I range from playing Satriani, to Vai, to Metallica, Sevendust, Dream Theater, and things like that. I actually can finally play real piano and keyboard songs, but it's more fun to do the guitar stuff.

Tomorrow night, July 2, I will be peforming in a talent show hosted by the radio station 101.5FM in NJ in Point Pleasant at a place called Jenkinsons. I will be playing the Satch Boogie, and this will not only be the largest crowd I've ever played in front of, but more or less the first time in 19 years that I've actually been able to play this song. It was the song that got me into listening to Joe, and I'm actually surprised that I've managed to learn this song by only playing by ear. Cant read music to save my life :-)

I went to see your performance at Starland Ballroom 2 months ago, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that you have the Korg Karma keyboard on stage. This is the keyboard in which I am able to replicate your guitar sound. I would have never been able to play the Satch boogie without it.

Anyway, I have a myspace music site, where I have mp3s of my performances, mostly consisting of your songs. I have on there currently "Time","Made of Tears", and the main guitar riff of "St Anger".

Next week, I will have the mp3 of tomorrow night's performance on the site. Please check it out if you can.

suzie, glad to see you got your pics, I just wasn't fast enough!!

mthead101 When changing the strings, just change one at a time, don't take them all off. Floating trems can be a real pain. You can put any size stings you want on it, but just change them one at a time. If you play in alternate tunings for any songs, don't do it all with a guitar with a floating trem., you'll spend more time trying to tune it then playing.

MarimariSRV Sometimes Moses sits on my stack and watches me play, lol... Last year my brother went to Florida and came back with some joke-ish gifts. He found these little toy-kinda things called Bible Heroes, I got Moses, lol. It used to sit on my stack, it's been in my room for a while though.

Clarky...I happen to love a Tele's sharp edged tone...mine is fast & mean....lol...that one sounds Kool....

Anyways , looks like you guys have had even more fun with Satriani!

DAMN ENGLAND AND DAMN ROONEY

CHRISTIANO RONALDO, I SAW THAT WINK AND I KNOW IT WAS ALL A SET UP TO GET ROONEY OFF !!!!!

Anyhow, that very much defines what i been up to. I was hoping for an England and Germany final but ........ah well.

Suzie 2000.... Great photos i still haven't got mine but it couldn't be far away.

NJBEAST, SATRIELLA, CLARKY and the rest of the people from U.K .......I have got a bit of a gossip ....he he he ...oh yeah !!!!

I was one of the few people who had the platinum package tour in Cardiff ( lol u guys probably know it cos i mentioned it loads of times ) . Anyway while we were having out tours etc I asked John Iverson, when Joe is coming to U.K next? and according to John Iverson, JOE and the CO are planning a G3 IN U.K NEXT YEAR !!!!!

Lol i got it all on tape baby ....( Lol dont ask me how ) . I was too gobsmacked when i met Joe and didn't specifically asked him to confirm what John Iverson said to me but i did ask him about how his uk tour been and if he plans to return in future etc. His responce was very positive.

I dont know what to make of it but John Iverson been touring with Joe since April plus he did get into a bit of detail about it all. He said something about JOE and CO seeing two brothers on acoustic guitars and being very impressed with them .

If you guys want, i will upload the tape of my conversation with JOHN up here but as far as i am concerned , lol i am already crossing off dates on my calendar for my next G3 concert.

Take care everybody and stay beautiful .

SATRIELLA Thanks for the link to the Hendrix mini. Think I'll go for the Woodstock version. Thanks again "Foxey Lady"

WATERPROOF SOAP They havent gone away yet. But getting better. Will see me doc this week. Maybe an inner ear infection? Who knows. I'm going to mention the med you recommended. Thanks for the concern buddy. Hope all is well with you. Have a great weekend!
