Hey Joe, by the looks of you, there IS something to those workouts! LOL!! Hot-cha-cha-cha! lmao!!

Al, show Joe a pic of your Homers.

Hi Joe.

I went in G3 Show here in Brazil, in Porto Alegre City, in 2006. Was amazing, by the way. So, when do you come back to Brazil? We are waiting and dreaming with the Professor Satchafunkilous and the Musterion show...

Roy : cool.

GC Chicago was a great set Joe! I especially liked the way the Satch Boogie backing track ended. I wanted to ask a question but "Freak" couldn't see me... I was all the way in the back, one of the last to see you at the end. I understand if you don't get or see this, but my question was that, while you kept saying how the left hand had to be heavy or light for jazz/blues or speed, in general your playing style is very light on the left hand. But, your roots are in blues. What was it that pushed you into legato, or rather, how do you play so lightly and fluidly, while still maintaining that blues feel?

Again, thank you so very much for 20 years Joe!!!!! I was speechless getting to finally meet you after six years! The show last night was just fantastic. Glad to know that people who leave to pee don't get you down;)

maritime - Ah, OK... Steve Morse's dad (whom the song was originally about) died last year, so I guess a "recent death" is still correct.

Anyway...I'm being picky for no reason. I love that song.

We also got to hear Joe's soundcheck from outside...he played a few SWTA songs, but also did some fun stuff like Black Sabbath's Iron Man.

I love waiting in lines all day and talking to other fans and stuff like that...it's a lot of fun. Sometimes it seems a bit weird that I'll spend four hours in line when the concert is only half that length, but that hasn't stopped me yet. ;-)

Others favorites include Jaco Pastorius, Chris Squire, and Michael Manring. Do you know who MM is? He lives in the San Francisco area but he plays shows in Europe fairly regularly. Here are two videos for you:

Joe

T, at least you remembered. lol!

chadleycarpayment, it means yer friends are giving to much money to the gov't all year round and yer not :) It's the smart way to go. You get a gold star.

Al, I love that pic. lol! I have that same Satch shirt too.

My sons band is playing in the basement. They're so firggin' loud! They forget they're playing in my HOME, not a studio out in the middle of nowhere. Guess the fluid I have behind my eardrums isn't helping either. Feckin' allergies! lol! I think band mommy needs a nap. LOL!

mama M:Hes goin t thank ya for it one day....slan hangs head...i was the same, couldnt get it loud enough

so true, at least I remembered....and ended up paying about $36 this year altogether, so not too bad....no refund, but minimal damage, so I called it good, lol! Especially since I lost my lil tax deduction child this year and had to change my deductions on my paycheck...was shooting in the dark about what to do...I'm smarter than I look I guess. And they're all done for this year, WOO HOO!

So Chadley, no complaining...$500 refund beats paying :)

I've been looking for the other mckenna photo chelle, with his Homers on, fast asleep on the glider swing.....remember that one? And do you have yours? that was a good one too, lol.....

^^^ can someone pass me the slansh dictionary pretty please?
