Hey Mac..... Yeah, I also forgot mine seat # for the Oct. Chicago show. Thanks God it's general admission........

DTS.....you're young, you've plenty of time (really you do). I think these things happen when you least expect it!

I'm 34, have had an eight year marriage, and since it ended, two relationships. The first turned out to be an abusive relationship, with anger and aggressiveness. I'm still recovering from that. The next had little impact on me, I got dumped, I cared little. To be honest, I wanted to DO single, preferably for the rest of my life!

Now this guys come along, he's crazy about me, he's a big, tough, tattoo covered biker, and I'm a singer in my church choir and might be considered a bit 'posh'. I find I quite like the attention and might reconsider my steadfastly single position!

anyway, I think that the 'right' relationship is worth waiting for. I wish now that I'd waited until I was at least 30 before I settled down, as I now know I wasn't very mature, or sure of what I needed or wanted in life.

This possible new relationship is complicated, he's actually a friend of my ex husband, who as might know, died last year. This biker guy actually has an R.I.P. and my exes name tattooed on him so how weird is that for me! My ex husbands name on my boyfriends body!

Squier Strat Guy- Joe's first guitar was a hagstrom 3

John-where you off to now?

Al-You haven't been on halo3 in a while. too busy with GTA 4?

My guitar is fixed and sounding nice again, learned the rest of AWYAWM I have known the beginning and middle but never got to the end, I always went by ear, but now I have a tab book.

I think I am going to buy Rainbow six Vegas 2. It's a fun game all for this particular moment in time.

Do_The_Stu,

slanshroom.....that's funny as hell. What an idiot...lol..

"Talk to me" is an awesome fun track, I posted a snip of it (not full track) to sample on my old page many years ago, foranyone interested in hearing a bit of it:

http://roo.emu.id.au/Satch/JoeEP.html

I won't post the whole track... If Joe wants to re-release it he'll do it when it's the right time. I understand the original is damaged, but he's got access to the same verison I have off the vinyl.

Victoria, the tattoo shows the guy had enough respect for your husband to carry his name forever. I don't know the guy, but I believe he will have enough respect for your ex to take care of you very well. Sounds like a good deal to me...as long as he doesn't have yer ex's name tattooed on his ass cheek or anything. lol! That's a whole different ballgame. lol!

revan, thanks for the band comment. My son has no intention on quitting. He loves the band - the band loves the band. My husband and I..we sometimes don't love the band so much. lol! Just kidding, but when they take over the house every weekend, and they're soooo loud, it kinda wears ya down. lol!

satrini, my birthday was good. Sorry for the delay in my answer. I had a lovely day :-)

update on my pop - it was all good till the anesthesia wore off. He was in so much pain overnight he couldn't sleep. They had to change his meds. You would think an epidural and morphine would stop any pain ffs! They had him sitting in a chair when I called him today. His voice was rough, way rougher than last night. Poor dude. He sounded so wore out. My mom & my sis were there to see him today. Tomorrow I'll take my mom. It's gonna be a long couple of weeks for him. Keep those prayers and good vibes coming - and thanks.

For everyone who asked:

Joe Satriani - Talk To Me

I have no idea where this file came from originally. I probably found it on Kazaa way back when. I have some other older Satch things that I can post as well...I'll go through them all over the next few days.

Anyway, you might hear something on this track that sounds a bit familiar...enjoy!

(Joe, I figure it's OK to post things like this that aren't commercially available...but if you'd rather I don't, let me know and I'll stop. Thanks...)

I'm on the left and Tracie is on the right, which means you're probably in the back center or something goofy like that. Because it'd make too much sense for us T2Jers to be able to sit next to each other... :-/

I'm fine with it though, even though I guess I complain a lot...

blue moon, i really love my strat. i have had it since 1981. i am going back and forth from a jem7v and the strat all the time. i prefer the strats neck slighty more than the ibanez's but the are so similar, the only real diff is the space between frets. the jem just has a bit more punch due to the humbuckers. i am strongly considering getting a js1200. i have had some gibsons too. i had a les paul custom. it was a fine guitar but was stolen. had an sg and got rid of it. i have always wanted a telecaster too.

Hey Peeps.....

All Well?........

Webmaster....... Any updates coming soon?...... June was the last News post.........

I know Joe has not fin this tour yet..... But surley there should be some G3 news coming soon???????.....

hi guys.... I've finally completed the song I wrote for Maria..

I performed it at her funeral.. which was as sad as it was beautiful..

given that it was Satch's music that braught us together, I thought it fitting to throw in a few Satch-esque moments here and there..
a sort of musical acknowledgement to the man himself and a thanks for being the birthing point of such a long and deep friendship...

so here it is...
