Cube: You lucky guy.... I can't wait to hear Dave & his band. Hopefully they'll be doing some gigs East Coast stateside soon. *hint*hint* ;-)

SteveeT: Have faith my friend...... Overwhelmed is my middle name. :-/ We shall both cross the Red Sea, with a little help from above. :)

Ovation: So nice to see you my friend!! Miss you much Mickey.....

Amir: thanks ;-)

Michelle: My pleasure. Anything I can do to help..... I know what it's like.

Satriella: Uber kuul you heard back from Paul Gilbert..... I'm sure you must still be hovering as we speak. Stay Lucky girlie! ;-)

Slans: I have my bohita "belladonna" CD playing....haven't listened in a while. Good Stuff! I just LOVE "Colour's Bride".

I got a postcard from one of my former patients..... She just completed a Marathon in San Francisco for Team Leukemia & Lymphoma. She is an inspiration to me..... I had made a donation to help support her training and the Leukemia & Lyphoma Society. This helps me get up and go to work evreyday, I do help some people.( It's tough when I lose patients that I've connected with)...... I remember what it's like to have No purpose. I'm learning lesson every day... how to be a better person.

Since I've been on my hiatus I've been exploring "Inner Space". I've had my eyes opened to the situation in Tibet. The Dali Lama was recently awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by Prez. Bush. Very impressive an a tad risky for the US. He is more than deserving! The Dali Lama was in my area recently but I was unabble to hear him speak. He is an AMAZING Human Being.... I've been learning about Buddism, I'll always be a Christian but I have room in my heart/mind for all great things.....It's amazing what comes to you if you are "open". ;)

I saw 2 great documentary's about Tibet & the Dali Lama. It's quite an eye opening lesson. " Kundun" and "Tibet- Cry Of The Snow Lion" are powerful and enlightening. I encourage everyone to watch them. I would be very interested to hear your thoughts.... Over 1.3 million Tibetians have died and 6,300 Monestaries have been destroyed. I never knew this had happened. It makes me ashamed to know the the US & the World turned their backs in the 80's. I will TRY to make a difference in the future....

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

All I can say is "FREE TIBET"

Peace.

MarimariSRV:

A few years ago I saw those 2 documentaries about the Dalai Lama and Tibet, indeed, the Dalai Lama is a wonderful man. I'm inspired by his wisdom, intelligence, humor and simplicity. I just recently saw "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama" by Rick Ray. I guess you would like to see this film too? The movie has a beautiful soundtrack. Great music for meditation and visualisations. I just love the sounds of the Tibetan bowls, maybe something for Jeff to experiment with? :-)))

Love, Eve

KtzA... Hello. hey so what about ZOOM...??? hey... zoom - deadly sound.... i have zoom... i hate it.. Bad sound...very bad. POD LINE - COOL! I don't like guitar processors... hey take pedals like Joe! Good luck!

WOW!! :-0 Stay kuul bro....

michelle: Geez.... So sorry to hear about your Dad.... You do know we are with you in our thoughts and prayers.... I hope the Docs can rid the tumor, I know how you feel.... In the last year my Mom had intensive chemotherapy for breast cancer and my Dad had his thyroid removed.... It sucks getting old sometimes, but the music of Joe has great healing power as you know! :-) Btw, thanks for that kuul link on the cellphones for soldiers!....

Good Morning Satchland......How's everyone ?

"Britian's have talent" Simon Cowell is known to tell it like it is. Check him out before and after this contestant. This shows a side of Simon you NEVER see. David and Goliath come to mind here.

Meet Connie as she chops Simon down to size.

Mari..... I see you too. How ya ben'? It's great to hear from you. I'm so happy for you. I'm impressed with your work. How do you find the time to work,play and go to shows to photograph these artist? Hugs to you always.

I tested it and I was pretty surprised :)...it's got nothing to do with the old Zoom pedals.The only thing that keeps me back is this new expression pedal on it...especially when it comes to expression pedals.Felt pretty sturdy in general though.It's also got two tubes in it boosting up the signal.

Ken...hiya btw.....very sweet video....a coupla weeks ago I posted the Paul Potts video, he was the eventual winner of that competition....fun that you found this one too! What a sweet little girl!

Chad, yer still eyeballing chromies I see ;) Just remember, u have a baby, u can't afford any more guitars ;) But one of these days, maybe you and I will talk turkey about my chromie, ya never know :)

Mckenna, don't ferget to get yer tix for the 2 new shows ya feck! I'm so jealous....I still wanna go to the Ireland show!! Anyone wanna come with me?

Mari, sounds like life is good but very busy for you....take deep breaths whenever u can and rest, lol!

Prayers still going out for John and Vivian chelle, always.

Slansh, how many days NOW?
