Hey Joe! your concert last night at H.O.B. was AWESOME!!! i also wanted to say thanks for talking with me after the signing was over at Guitar Trader it meant a lot. anyway you rock and being as it was my first ever concert the icing on the cake was catching Jeff's drum stick at the end. Thanks for being an awesome inspiration, cuz of all the guitar players out there you are somebody worth looking up to.

Good evening Satchland..

Ok..so I'm not really making a lot of money right now, so here's what I did. I bought a Satchurator Pedal with the proceeds from another pedal I'm selling. So in reality I'm breaking even. Do you think my wife will go for that one? lol..

superdave..i have ALWAYS found it is better to ask forgiveness than ask permission. you are gonna love the satchurator. i was on mine for about 3 hours today. i had me some fun.

SupaDupaDave, are all you Dave's alike, or is it just a guy thing. That's my husband's line "I sold that and just rolled that money over into this, so actually it only cost *insert minimal amount here*. Sometimes I'd like to roll HIM over and kick him up his... But then again, it's what makes him happy - the gear part, not the me kicking him up his ass part ;-) His "hobby" is starting to take over the entire basement though! lol! My nice little bar/party room has turnt into PapaLump Recording Studio. lol! I guess it's a 2fer now.

Stuart Hamm anagram - MAMA THRUST - lmao!!! I dig that one.

Austin, Al from Dublin is getting picked up in Dublin. What are the feckin odds of that ever happening? Do me a favor and kiss him smack on the lips and tell him Mark London sent ya. Don't ask why, just do it!

Cappy, those Michellica links...yer gonna piss in bed fer that! lol!

Slan, how's wee man doing? On a totally different note - "me love buckets on fire" toooo feckin funny!

Sandy, "Satchiella" sat-sheila, sat-chee-ella, sad-tree-yella, yer nuttier than a fruitcake girl. Just change yer name to Jo Gilbert and be done with it lol! Just glad yer finally happy.

Lol Michelle...yep.. there is a "minimal amount"...but it's very minimal ;) ....I knew you would understand.

Thanks DTS for the San Diego review - hope you have a great time n SF tonight - maybe Satch will pull out some sort of surprise.

I've been listening to Seattle 93 and Paris 90 and there is some lovely live stuff he did back then.

Have fun.

ZincMaster---Van Halen 5150 is my favorite VH album. I love Sammy Hager's vocals and the hot guitars!

Slans--I don't know much about the Music business and touring vs CDs, but I do enjoy my CD collection very much and listen to at least a 4 or 5 songs everyday between work and homework. I'm still curious about a Musician's view of the lifestyle and what works for him/her.

Michelle and Tracie--I think I have Blue Moon Fever! I am mopping my brow with a cool washcloth. Is there a doctor in the house that knows a cure? ;-D

Milli, I don't know what to tell u about yer fevah.....

But I can say, with total confidence and not a single doubt....

That Reno and San Fran are about to experience a vortex of Joe and a whole 'gaggle' of t2j fans....

Try not to be too skerred Joe....but if I were u, yeah, I would be, just a lil, lol!

Awwwwww maaaaan!!

Good and bad news...

It's my birthday on the 27th (yes its Jimi Hendrix's, AND Bruce Lee's birthday :P) and my girlfriend just busted out with tickets to the WARFIELD show!! Hotel reservation AND a trip to the planetarium!

Wooo, we have a mayor up in here!

GGirl, a fevah...the only prescription is...MORE COWBELL! (somebody put up the SNL vid clip plz, kthanx)

RENO is gonna be smokin' tonight with all the T2J peeps there. Same thing with SF tomorrow. Safe travels to everyone!

UematsuMaster>congrats little dragon

Tikimon San:being into M Arts you,ll understand the striking similaritys between the arts n music, same place different form, wish I had 8 lifes t absorb the knowledge of it all n boil it all down to a potent simple directness

Mama M:Hes a whole lot better today thx Shel, back t kiddy school, maybe later I,ll get some decent photos taken, have the inlaws chompin at the boot for more pics man he just gets cuter n yup that quote from The Fat Slags is one of many class one liners Viz mag characters rock!

Golden Girl 2:The lifestyle of pro musicians vary from one to another, it’s a bit like putting 10 people in a room & expect them all to eat curry, some music fits for some while others not, each style has its own stereotypical lunchbox for the good or bad depending how or who is looking at it eg a session musician has t fit into just about any environment, incredibly difficult t switch mindset from say a sweaty Rock band rehearsal during the day 2 playing Jazz standards at Tiffanys “Wine n cheesy nibbles anyone” at night you also at times have t hire the gear for the job if you don’t have it yourself, sometimes a tux as wellso wave goodbye t quarter of yer wages or more especially if the gear ends up damaged, but at least you get t go home at night n sleep in your own bed.Touring is different, you need t have your shit together in so many other areas, playing the music perfect, reliable gear, good management etc are the obvious.Having your personal life together, I,m talking trust & you need a LOT of it if your 1-6 or more months on the road is another thing entirely, no man wants t be on tour n come back home t find his bedspace taken any more than a woman wants their man sleepin around n bringing back all kinds of lovely virus for her t culture or worse! Its hard on the heart if you’re in a relationship, more so if you have family, there is little choice but to think positive & act responsibly, many a talented musician met a lonely fate from self-indulgence, more so the young, pity you cant put an old head on young shoulders

Good morning Satchland...

Why is it that my 2 and 4 year old feel the need to be up at the butt-crack of dawn, but my 12 and 14 year old need to have dynamite lit off at their feet to get them going? lol.. Oh well..if I did'nt have kids to keep me out of trouble...I'd be in trouble.

And here is yet another one of my worldly posessions to get the axe.. Fulltone Ultimate Octave

Have fun in Reno & SF all you lucky beeyaastaads ! !

michelle LMAO ..if austin is picking up al he should do it in latex and ball gag..

Hey, 'tis a sad day for rock. "Mitch Mitchell passed away 13th November 2008 aged 61". I heard you did a special one off gig with Mitch and Billy as a tribute to Jimi, how cool would it be to release it as a tribute to the Experience?

Just a thought as i never got to attend the one off gig.

All the best Croujdane.

This post was meant for tuesday but I spaced it out.

It is dedicated to my heroes...my three grandfathers.....James McCarthy WWI ....Charlie Anthony WWII ....Charlie Coates WWII (killed in France - D Day 1944). No one...and I mean no one had more guts than those three guys and anyone else who fights for our freedom. God bless 'em.

Ok...we can go back to talking about music 'n stuff ;)

Hey Joe.

I saw you on Oct 16th at Massey Hall, what a great show. You played such a great set list, first time i heard time machine. Was such an inspiring night of music. I enjoyed your jam with leslie as well, you guys are both awesome guitar players. Hope to see you again sometime soon in G3 or something awesome like that.
