Hey everyone,

Got a day off today, now I am trying to get some things all caught up around here and one of them is posting this message.

Out of the Setlist: Glad that you asked where I got Additionial Creations. I got it off of E-Bay. I paid quite a bit, including the S/H. Do you have an E-Bay account and a Paypal account? If not, then it will be a good thing to get both of them. You can also search for whatever you are interested in, such as Joe Satriani music, guitars, etc. I am trying to see if there is another copy of Additional Creations because I want to give one to my best friend (a huge Satch fan) for the upcoming Holiday season.

Well, I was not able to see Joe in concert in Chicago or in Cleveland because of work, but oh well. I have to work to get the bills paid and put food on the table. Man, this economy and market has really gone downhill. Hopefully, it will get better in the long run.

js1200js1000: That will be cool to get meet & greet tickets, if Joe comes next year. It will be way cool to have Joe sign them (js20s). I don't play, but my friend plays guitar really well (acoustic and electric). He saw a js100 (in white) at a music store and he told me that it would be neat to have it. Therefore, I tried to work more, and earn a little more money every day/week. I took some of my payday earnings and used it to save up for that guitar, which paid off. I surprised him with the guitar, for this birthday, which made him speechless. If Joe comes to the midwest next year, we are going to try to get meet and greet tickets and get that guitar signed.

slan & ibanezjoan, listening to Pink Floyd gives me such a mellow feeling - like a buzz witout the drugs. lol! They have such a trippy vibe. It's kind of hard to explain, but listening to them, then and now, is just ...trippy. lol! If some of you don't know what I mean, HAVE AT THIS. This vid was from 28 feckin years ago, and the music still holds up today!

Hey everyone! I got all of my errands and chores done. Therefore, I thought I would check back in to see what is happening.

ZuperDave, Out of the Setlist, js1200js1000, and whoever: In case you were wondering, I got Additional Creations off of E-Bay for $155 (including S/H). Sounds like a lot to pay for a CD, doesn't it?

Dear Joe,

This is a message I emailed you at your myspace a few days ago - I thought I would also send it out here to you to better the chances you receive it - thanks.

**************************************************************************

My friends and I have been big fans since the release of Surfing and have caught many of your shows from our first which was at The Bottom Line, followed by a day out at The Pier with SRV, a heavy show at Roselands, and several times at the Beacon Theater. One of my friends has seen you at other venues in NYC and out in Chicago while on business. We will be at the United Palace show on Oct 18th. The reason that I'm writing to you has to do with one of the friends that I'm talking of, who is my dear friend Joseph Cocchiarella. He'll be coming in from Jersey for the show. Joe married his wife Rose back in 1989 - their wedding song was "Always With Me, Always With You." They love that song and are very sentimental about it. Joe is one of the greatest guys you could ever know, unfortunately, he is going through so much. His daughter Maddy has lupus, but thankfully, is doing well. We have a walk for lupus tomorrow going out from south street seaport... we'll be with the "Maddy's Marchers" team. Joe was just out a few weeks ago up north for another walk for his older brother Michael who suffers from ALS. I'm not sure that you could do this, but what I'm asking is, if you could send out "always with me..." to Joe and Rose, he would be so touched and would never forget it. I could see his yes swell up now. There will be seven of us there that night of 10/18 - it will be a real surprise for everyone. If it's just not possible, I will understand and know that there was consideration, which I appreciate.

Thanks for the years of great music and much, much more to come.

Thank you so much,

Happy birthday to Sammy Hagar, who turns 61 today. :-)

Sammy Hagar - Ten 13 (live at the Cabo Wabo Cantina, 10/13/07...the song starts at about the 3:00 mark)

They did some recording in September and will finish up in December, with an album and tour in 2009. If you do a Google News search for "chickenfoot" and either "satriani" or "hagar" you should find some more info. There isn't much out there at the moment, though...

I had Joe and Jeff sign my copy after one of the G3 shows last year...I don't have much Satch memorabilia, but I'd say this is definitely the coolest.

I think it'd be really cool of Joe to put Turkey Man and the techno version of Until We Say Goodbye on his next compilation album, whenever he comes up with one. Or he could maybe put them up on iTunes in the meantime...

There are few Pacific NWers here who are bummed that Satch is skipping their area...some of 'em are heading down to the SF show on the last night of the tour. It'd be cool if you could do the same...any way you can swing it? The show's on a Saturday...

Glitz Man...I just about fell out of my chair when you told me that... Like OutOfTheSetlist, I think I paid $15 for my copy about 5 years ago, and that included shipping.

U2's Bono and The Edge writing music for Spider-Man: The Musical

You'd think that Bono and The Edge, still finishing U2's new album, No Line On The Horizon, would have little time for outside projects. But the two are writing the score for the upcoming Broadway production of Spiderman: The Musical.

Although the lavish production, said to feature state-of-the-art lighting and sets, isn't due to open till sometime next year, it's already making history of sorts.

No line on the budget At a reported cost of $40 million, the Spider-Man musical will be the most expensive in Broadway history - that's a weekly running tab of close to $1 millon. It is estimated that the show will have to run succesfully - now, get this - for 8,000 years to break even. (Uh, yeah, that'll happen.)

The show is being helmed by The Lion King's director Julie Taymor, no stranger to cost overruns and clashes with producers. A source says, "She doesn't care what it costs. Does not care at all. Her attitude is, it's for the art, and you don't question artists."

Okay, then. Well, at least the music should be good.This isn't the first comic book collabo for U2: They contributed Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me to the Batman Forever soundtrack.

Cappy - I still remember the night I first heard "Meddle".
