Hello friends, hello Satchland :-)) !!!

I`m right now in Madrid, great weather and this city is amazing indeed, i`m here since yesterday Morning. I visited the Sala Macumba this Morning and i saw all crew putting all stuff into the room. I saw Mike Manning and Jose (Drum tech). I GOT PHOTO PASS, i will do my best tonight. That`s always a pleasure to visit Madrid and see Joe. No aftershow pass but i would like to give a great gift to Joe. Wish me luck friends to give this to Joe on his hands :-) !!!

See you later amazing people :-).

Lucy i will be there in Sala Macumba probably at 6:30 pm :-). If you see me, say hello please. I answered your e-mail but you had the e-mail full.

WARM REGARDS

Alexandre, congrats on your photo pass! I know you'll do a fantastic job! So happy that you're getting to see Joe, and have a little holiday at the same time. You deserve it! I hope you get to see Lucy too! Have a great time.

Sunday Morning Sex

I will never hear church bells ringing again without smiling...

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparents' house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied,

"He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that two people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear," replied Granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the "Ding" and out on the "Dong."

She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along!"

gotta have joe --

Say hi to Carol. I just love cats but haven't had one in years so reading your post left me kinda nostalgic... but I couldn't help laughing picturing Carol going nuts over Joe... LOL :D haha!!!
Check out the links below. New evidence proving that cats can be musically trained:

cool shot

Good Afternoon Satchland.....How are you guys? Man I miss you guys. It's been less than a week since my last post and I feel apart of me was missing. So what's up?

Zenfish......How ya been? I saw your post to me asking if I'd be finished with my part for the T2J Sinphony. Sorry for the delay in my response. Yes, I think it's doable. Is there a date you had in mind? Take Care.

SteveeT.....I saw you had a new tune posted. That's good news. I haven't had time to listen to it but I know it'll be great. I love your music. You posted "Jimi Among Us". That inspired me to search Hendrix on You Tube. Click this Link A guy by the Monte Montgomery performs Hendrix's Little Wing "Live" on a Acoustic Guitar as a B/W still slide show plays. Warning....Wear a chin strap to keep your mouth from staying open to long. .....lol..... It's unbelievable. There's tapping,shredding, and feedback. Yes, Controled Feedback from an acoustic. Enjoy the ride.

Kayla......Has Kittens.......Wonderful. I love Cats. Interesting animals. Hugs.

Cheese...... Ding....Dong......Good one. Hugs. I got two also.

Here they come:

A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing back down to earth. He tries this a few more times with no success.

All the while, his wife is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything. She opens the window and yells to her husband, "You need a piece of tail." The man turns with a confused look on his face and says, "Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite !!!!!"

And The Other:

In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage." The clerk looks at him and says, "Are you Polish?" The guy, (clearly offended) says, "Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something, if I had asked for Italian sausage would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco would you ask if I was Mexican? Would ya, huh? Would ya?" The clerk says, "Well, no!" "If I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?" "Well, no, I probably wouldn't!" With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says, "Well then why did you asked me if I'm Polish because I ask for Polish sausage?" The clerk replies,

"Because you're at Home Depot."

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JOE ! ! ! !

GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING THE TOUR ! ! !

Have A Great Day Everyone ! ! !

From the forum on Eric Johnson's website:

"Eric will also be joining the G3 Latin tour this fall with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci, and will appear in Mexico and South America. Confirmed tour dates are pending."

962- Thank you... I'm not good with these in-between times, but it'll be worth it eventually!

MASTERYODA- lol, no it's a great feeling attaining those letters, you deserve the congrats! :)

DOTHESTU- That sounded cool seeing Satch / EJ and ALSO Vai! Wow... I saw Satch play at the London gig recently, what an amazing show:)

SLANSHROOM- LOL the JSStump1200 sounds good... that definitely sucks about those people in the arran sweaters being stuck in their ways... I have been to lots of folk clubs over the years so know what you mean by that!

MARI- Matt said thanks... will talk to him about the CD... not sure if you listened to this already - know he has recorded lots more, that one was him soloing over a backing track:)

BAHDUH- thanks for the good wishes, and for letting me know about Steven:) Hope you are having a good day...

GROWLER- Thanks for listening to the link:) Still no time to watch those damn BL films! Next week though for sure.

SATRIELLA- I am sure that on Friday I'll shed a tear or twenty, as I will miss everybody, the kids included. But I have to look onwards, I read a phrase yesterday that I liked, "Keep from looking back unless you are planning to go that way." And I certainly don't want to go back! I do have some stuff to prepare, but can't do too much of it until I get into the swing in September:) Are you going on hols anywhere? We are just going for a week to Barcelona, looking forward to it!

CLARKY- Matt (and I) are playing in St Paul's Church, Covent Garden on Sat Oct 7th at 7.30 p.m., if you can get to that it would be cool! Matt will be playing Classical Guitar, I will be singing some renaissance songs with him. Also, if you ever find yourself near where we live it would be great for you to meet up at last/ jam!

DELFINO- You are lucky- I think I must be a vampire, I have to keep out of the light.... lol

ZEN- Do you know a song called "Crazyman Michael" by any chance? By Fairport Convention...

WATERPROOF SOAP- How's things with you today?

KAYLA- Good to see you back, sorry to hear about the computer and family probs, but good news on the new kitten at least! :)

KENIKO- Wondering where you had disappeared off to :)

hi joe

Happy Birthday.

I went to your show back at manchester. It was awsome.

Just remember 1 thing, Keep On Rockin' In The Free World

LOL, chelly, that picture was also my favorite because right away I noticed the lips "stickey outty thingy" Joe was doin, LOOOOOOOL.....

Hi Joe,

Joe, have you ever been, have you ever been, to Electric Ladyland? That's one place everyone should record at at least once, methinks. I can't wait 'till a day swoon to 'find myself' in those rooms.
