Ozzy, Just a couple of miles from my home where the hills meet the flat land, In mid summer when the sun goes down you had better take cover. Luckily I am on quite a bit higher elevation and you can actually sit outside at night. We often joke that the mosquito is the unofficial state bird.

You know what has always amazed me is that in these non- English speaking countries there are a great deal of the population who can speak English. I know some are using language converters but still it is amazing to me. Foreign language is not something that is impressed upon us here like I feel it should be. Most have the attitude "Screw 'em let 'em learn our language."

Isn't it also great that music transcends all language and cultural barriers. Joe fans from India, Macedonia, Russia and too many to name.
Just curious of the T2Jers in non-English speaking countries, how do you do as well as you do? I know this question may sound silly but you have to understand our culture does not heavily support knowing other languages.
If we could all speak like Joe, we would have it made.

Had a quick play with my Saturator and Time Machine, before I went to work. Bring on the weekend I've put a deposit on a Big Bad Wah, so that has to wait just a little before it comes home. I've been pretty lucky. Our local music store got 2 Time machine pedals. Within 15 minutes of being delivered to the store I turned up and grabbed one. By the time I had rang fateape to see if he wanted the other one it was gone. Again, yesterday a Big Bad Wah turned up at the store and I arrived within 30 minutes to grab that one. talk about timing... My timing is really annoying the guy's at the store. They haven't been on the shelf long enough for them to be able to try them out.

people in most non english speaking countries are thought to learn english from a very young age and are subjected to it a lot more than we would be to foreign languages... movies, books and tv all that jazz
its funny traveling around europe cause when you go from country to country everyone speaks decent enough english and knows a few languages for their surrounding countries

Ozzy I try really hard to overcome the Arkansas Redneck stereotype. Which is quite difficult being around them every day. This is where they wrote all of the redneck material. And it's funny you mention, If you think most Americans butcher the English language you should visit the southern U.S.
Even ppl from as close as St. Louis are shocked. I find it quite funny and when I converse with locals, I let "the loose end drag" :>)

lucas--What's your point of posting the same thing over and over again? Please stop for the sake of everyone in T2J.
Blue_Moon--Thanks for the sweet post of ALL ALONE. Very well done. I love the way you and your guitar create such great emotions/feelings.
Ya see how far behind I get when someone abuses this forum, sorry to say! It makes me feel very old, tired and sad!

A teacher was doing a study testing the senses (taste) of first graders using a bowl of lifesavers.
The children began to identify the flavours by their colour:
Red........................Cherry
Yellow.................Lemon
Green..................Lime
Orange ...............Orange
Finally the teacher gave them all HONEY lifesavers. After eating them, none of the children could identify the taste.
'Well,' she said, 'I will give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father.'
One little girl looked up in horror, spit her lifesaver out and yelled, 'Oh my God!! They're ass-holes ! '

An old country doctor went way out to the boondocks
to deliver a baby. It was so far out that there was
no electricity.
When the doctor arrived, no one was home except for
the laboring mother, and her five-year-old child.
The doctor instructed the child to hold a lantern high,
so he could see while he delivered the baby. The child
did so, as the mother pushed, and after a little while,
the doctor lifted the newborn baby by the feet and spanked
him on the bottom to get him to take his first breath.
The doctor then asked the five-year-old what he thought
of the baby?
"Hit him again," said the lad. "He shouldn't have crawled
up there in the first place!"

After being married for 37 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Honey, 37 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, we slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but every night I got to sleep with a hot, 21-year-old gal.
"Now I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 58-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot, 21-year-old gal, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve a mid-life crisis!

Well - back to work
Random Things to Think About
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
Life is sexually transmitted.
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about
seeing UFOs like they used to?
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Hey Joe, this here is Kevin. I wanted to ask you why you haven't made it to St. Louis the last two tours. My wife and I have really missed seeing you live. I know you played Kansas City, but we had previous plans. Please believe me I'm not upset or anything, I just wanted to let you know that every time you play in St. Louis you will see us there. Maybe, hopefully, THE CHICKENFOOT will leave come and it's footprint in the Gateway City this year. Rock on!
