Zenfish....everythang is everythang....

Hello all my name is Spoon and I am from Australia. I am a huge Joe fan and have been since surfing with the alien. I have been playing guitar for about 15 years. I own a small music shop, teach guitar and play in a small band. Here is our myspace site link Kransky

Slanshroom: OMG!! ROTFLMFAO...... Ali G goes to the Porn festival inCannes was truly the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Now I know what "knobbing" is.... good thing to know in case I meet somebody here in the states that tries to pull that one on me. lmao!

I just watched Narnia The L, W & Wardrobe...... I am speechless. I read the all the CS Lewis books and used to watch the BBC series (also used to watch Dr Who) and I was extremely impressed with the movie. Well done Disney. This was as incredible as LOTR in my book. I had to use a few tissues for this one. I hope they do all his books.....

Clarky: I don't know if you've seen "Narnia" but you remind me of Mr Beaver........ How he helps them out and is talking about Mr Badger "his Mate".....lol just reminded me of you in a very good way. You are always looking out for your mates here. Very Admirable in my book mate. ;-))

I've discovered that the best music is played whilst the credits are running........ I know the female vocalist on one tune was very familiar but I didn't see those credits. I have to watch the movie again so I can find out....I think i'm going to have to buy that DVD! I saw Cold Mountain a few weeks ago (Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, R. Zellweger) anyway I was listening to the tunes as the credits were rolling and there was a song sung by Allison Krauss (I think she's county, her name is pronounced the same was as mine) written by Sting and he sings backing vocals on it. It's called "My Ain True Love" I think.....THe song Blew me away! I wouldn't mind having the soundtrack to both Movies.

Mgrater: I'd of gone.....I was at Jenkinson's last year on the 4th but I didn't read about it till the day of and I wasn't going to deal with the holiday shit/traffic this year. I'm really burnt out so Instead I did an 30 mins on the stairmaster (Gauntlet) and 30 mins on the treadmill just walking. I will make it there for sure next year if you let us know a few days in advance if possible....... I often go to show's at the Starland Ball and so does Guitarmiester. Hopefully you guys will Jam sometime and I'd love to meet up with yah!

Zenfish: Good Luck to France in the World Cup!!! How's the Symphony coming along? Be careful with those chainsaws. I hope to someday meet up with you & joella. It would be an honor. I have to send you a few of my Zappa photos. I was in the corner of the 1st row opposite of Vai but close to Dweezil and Terry Bozzio.

Peace and happiness to all. Stay safe JOe & Co.

Happy July 4th USA!! I'm going to have a hotdog tomorrow with mustard & Vidalia Onion.....Mmmm good!

Have a good holiday all you US Joe fans....what have you all got planned?!

THAT GOES FOR JOE AND THE CREW TOO!!! HAVE A FAB DAY!

Isn't it great that Joe and the crew get to do their favourite thing as a job!

I start a new job in an hour.....gulp!

Is it normal not to be able to think straight the morning of a new job?

I am gonna miss my old work mates....still life moves on!

Ain't that the truth...life moves on

Hugs Satriella xx

Exactly two weeks ago I was sooo excited coz it was the day to see Joe....now life has moved on and I got the need to see joe again blues!

Cool, my first post, on this wonderful, wonderful message board. =) Before anything, I have to say, very bluntly, that Joe's mix of super-talent and super-kindness is really something anyone to admire. Y'know? Anywho, I really want to give praise to everyone on this board. After reading through a bunch of messages, I found that this isn't really an "OMG I <3 JOE" board that I thought it would be. It's more like a not-so-dramatic "OMG I <3 JOE" with people that are pretty much uh.. how do you say.. "chillin(?)". It's like a big, cool community.

I'm really respecting the people here. I guess I'm now the fan of the fans of Satch, while still being a young fan of Satch.

WATERPROOF SOAP Slept pretty much all day man. Hey, what you string your bass with? Just picked up some nickel SIT's (heavy gauge) and man they are smoooth as silk bro. My fingers are in heaven! Just in time for tomorrow. Hope all is well with you.

SATRIELLA Good luck on the new job girl. Speaking of "Foxey Lady", I just got the new Band of Gypsys cd/dvd. Wish I could link everybody up to the dvd of FL. Billy Cox, Buddy Miles, and Eric Gales combine on this cut. Gales is unreal! Just shreds the hell of the solos. Had to change up our version of the song and Machine Gun which was awesome as well, but not on dvd.

Also picked up Buddy Guy Live, The Real Deal with the Saturday Night Live Band. Buddy still has it. This dvd makes you smile. Buddy is what about 72 yrs old now? You can pit this dude up against ANY guitarist and he will hang bruddah. Check it out. Does some good lead duals with G.E. Smith.

Well, I'm well rested and ready for the gig tomorrow. Its time to GET IT ON! EVERYBODY IN THE USA HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY!!! EVERYBODY ELSEWHERE HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Hey Joe, Thank You very much for great conference in Wroclaw (Poland), we hope that You liked our gifts. I did one t-shirt and big guitar pick :-)

Thank You for a great concert, it was amazing, i've never saw you live, and i think that You are better than on CDs.

Good luck master......

Hi folk, This is R3TR reporting 11 hours after Joe’s performance in Strasbourg, France.

Audience, venue and organisation: Hall was about 2/3 full with seems about 80% of youngsters and 20% mix of other ages. There was an announcement made that no photo allowed. This made me wondering where photos on this site are coming from?! Mystery. Anyway, I am too stupid to understand why. Under those light and other conditions photos made on mobile phone or pocket size digital camera set to be of the poor quality and thus with no commercial value. They can only serve as private souvenir. Real photos would require use of large SLR with good optic i.e. easy to spot for security and best just not allow getting in with such camera. This is how it was last year on the concert of Sting or this year on Chris Rea.

Opening: Adrian Legg – for me it was a real discovery. I regret so much that I have not heard him before. Amazing. Not only his work with pedals, his sound was so rich, dense, touchable and melodies were really beautiful. And he is also very nice man, made impression of very intelligent, polite and kind person. It was a real pleasure for me to have conversation with him. Unfortunately there was not enough time to ask him more about music, his technique and human’s inner environment that makes such tunes possible.

Sound: Joe himself sounded perfect. However, in general, in my humble opinion, sound was a bit unbalanced i.e. too much of drums volume made bass and rhythm guitar difficult to hear so they almost kind of fell out from the whole sound pattern. Few bars Joe played on keyboards also did not articulate enough. I do not know, may be it’s specific for this particular venue in Strasbourg. And was it for a few seconds a little problem with bass gears? Anyway, it’s just my opinion.

Set: Clear lack of new things. I would love to hear more of what I have not heard Joe playing that often e.g. from Joe’s last record, from earlier records like “Is there love in space” and from earlier “Strange beautiful music”. Do not know why he does not do that.

Others: it’s a pity that there were no picks, straps and CDs (even not signed) on sales.

Anyway, I had great time after long and busy day. “Party on the Enterprise” was just cool!!!

I take it you're not playing an Ireland date! I'm not too happy about this as I'm sure nobody else is. We have all paid good money over here for the new album but we don't seem to be good enough to perform to!

marimariSRV, thanx. I will definately be performing again next year at this event. It was a lot of fun. I will probably be down in Middlesex Saturday night, playing some more Joe stuff. I have enough practiced for a small set, and I'm making it a weekly habit to get out and play. Check my site out for where I'll be performing and I'll have an mp3 of the Satch Boogie up by next weekend.
