I think you'll survive it just fine mc....I think.....

And besides, you get TWO hugs from Joe, one for you, one for me so BONUS for you :) plus u get to be in my presence....well....okay, that's not a bonus but you'll live through it......

DCK - Don't tell Slansh not to work too hard. He needs to "work his nads off" - all 4 of them!

Slansh - Sorry I haven't been around for you lately. I'll remedy that. I'll give you a call soon. My mum is here for a week - nightmare. I hear you about not liking the fact that the public don't understand brilliance. They only know what they are used to and don't quite get anything out of the box - except for those in this forum. When you think of it, if Joe were starting off now, it would be much harder for him given the decline of rock music. That said, his music does have broad appeal accross ages and genres. Now though, he can play for himself and he has the following. Don't look at commercialism as 'selling out'. Its just reaching people incrementally!

Clarky - We need to catch up! I often wonder how the old Rusty Cage is working out.

Ovation still around? Hi Mikey, Kayla, MikeSb, SteveeT, etc etc

Joe - Enjoy the tour. Just got the new album and looking forward to a blast of it after my mother leaves town!

Ken, ain't that the shit! I'm so sorry to hear the news about yer dad. Hopefully he'll gain strength and take treatment well. Ask the doc if he can drink Ensure or something like that to give his nourishment a boost. I'll send good vibes your way.

T'bones, what time are you leaving for the airport, and what time is yer flight?

Ally, you be nice to T 'er I'm coming over there next! You'll have yer hands full of a McAssbeatin'. lol!

hey satch i saw you at Manchester last week and i gotta say it was immence my only complaint is the 3 songs i really wanted to hear wernt played:( Is there love in Space?, New Blues and Come On Baby but who cares I SAW SATCH and the setlist was really really goood i was wondering whether there would be a live dvd/cd from this tour i think it would be a great idea bcos i love the live satch and its great to hear new versions of live songs :D

Hey Joe,

Hey everyone.

Wow great show in cardiff last night, second time ive seen you guys there, awesome venue, really cool crowd and masterpiece performances once again.

Was it me Joe or were there alot more little kids there than last time?

Its always such a diverse crowd which is great, where I was sat there were lots of little guys with there mums and dads, always great to see new people getting into this awesome music.

Had a wander up to the stage to check out your pedal board, the satchurator looked very nice.

Thanks for the great show once again guys.

chelle....I leave here at 6 am tomorrow to drive to Reno, flight leaves for Denver around 2ish....then Denver to London Heathrow which takes aaaaaaaallllll night, then London to Ireland...so I leave 2 pm on Wednesday and arrive after 3pm on Thursday....can u say old dishrag? :)

Mc is skerred of me coming and will prolly pretend not to know me. I'll be all alone in a strange country full of strange peoples =/ I tole my brother to send u 3 of my kitties if I don't make it back chelly :) Chris gets Sweetie, u get the rest :)

that's cuz yer wierd and luni mckenna...long flights are a literal pain in the a** to sit through :) But I hope to be able to sleep, at least a lil...and yep, I saw that the flight from London to there is just a hop, skip and a jump, about the time u get up to cruising altitude u need to get ready to land, lol.....

Having melt downs about every 5 minutes now though....just lots and lots of tears and wishes that can't come true no matter how hard a person wishes. Doesn't a body EVER run out of tears? Like....dry up ever?

Chee, they don'r have pub cats in Ireland? lol! You can use them to dust the bottles and keep the mice away at O'Safley's Pub, but if I must, I will take poopy, peety, & stink. I'll send some lol cats to cheer you :-)

Cheese - PSD, yep that's a good one! PSD I definitely have. Sandy & some others are getting another fix tonight, and you an Al get a fix in a coupla days - lucky peeps. More shows for me next time I think. I'll deffo have time to sort pics an emails an things now. Have a blast at the shows! MP3 player with every single satch track for the plane- cos the music channels normally suck lol Have a great trip/time

Blue Moon - strewth yer tall then! I've been to loads of Joe shows and I never have a problem with the sound. I get lost in the show anyway. Have fun at the next gigs, look after the cheese too

Keniko - sorry to hear that, prayers and thoughts from me and family.

Can somebody tell me where slan is taking his nads? lmao!!

I really should read these pages more carefully. lol!

I just watched episode 3 of the podcasts. I do believe the guys found the GOOD beer in Europe from the looks of it. LOL! I LOVE the big screen in the back, and that little talking head was funny! I guess getting Satchafunkalitis is way better than Satchafunkymonkeyballs.

GOOD STUFF JOE!! KEEP THEM COMING!!!

maybe slan was tossing them into the pot with yer left and my right nut for another blues album from Joe? Could that be it?? And oooooo chelle, yer my hero...a McAssbeatin'.....I'll keep you on speed dial :)

LOL...pub cats...never thought o' dat, but none of them have their passports =/ I know they'll have a great home with you :) Stewie and Sully can show them the ropes of some serious squirrel watchin.....loved the lol catz :)

I'm not worried at all about the flights mc, just worried about my rear gettin tired of sitting too long ffs.....

Joe Satrini, yep, I'm packin, lol.....several different cd's to keep me company on the journey. There's supposed to be "dinner and a movie" on the flight from Denver to London....gah, wanna bet it's a really retarded movie? And rubber chicken? Ah well, beggers can't be choosers, lol...

Wooleyman, thanks for the good wishes...time has gone by so fast to get to this day and now I'm not completely ready, at least inside. But I guess I'm going.

Ibanezguitars, thanks for the kind offer :) Sounds like if I'm ever in Barca we all need to meet up for dinner or a drink somewhere :) LOL...how easy would it be to get lost in Dublin and end up in Barcelona? Wait....ferget answering that, I'm so retarded I'm sure I'd find a way by accident.

Once I catch Satchafunkilitis, will they let me back in the gates to get back home to America? I'd be bringing a strange new and very contagious virus back across the borders with me......hmmmm...maybe THATS the master plan of the professor!!!

diddle-y-a-doo-dat!

hi to all, just randomly posting a hi message to everyone :) (i get bored at work..)

can't wait for the brisbane, australia gig!! :D

hey guys, i came around again than disappeared but it's for good reasons! I was asked to join an upcoming band and things have been picking up very quickly!

Hoping everyone around here is doing well and still enjoying the new Joe album. I've been enjoying it ever day still since the release. So much inspiration..

Anyhow ~ if anyone is interested in what kind of stuff I do when not dancing around in an instrumental piece check out my band Red Lyte District over at www.myspace.com/redlytedistrict would really love some feed back from you guys as many of you have been guiding with this whole guitar thing since I was like 15 years old. Always encouraging me to continue with it. So for that I thank you guys. You know who you are ~

Thanks again guys for your time and thank you joe for allowing me this little spot on your website over the last 10 years to post about anything and everything.

I'll be sure to try to keep up more often with everything ~ between teaching and playing I've not had a moments rest. Stay well guys ~

Cheese --- OTZ

Chelle....hope the fam's doin well :)

Clarky...Stay lucky bro.
