Dear Joe, I've never really listened to much of your stuff (Regrettably) but I've heard of you many, many times from friends of mine etc. Anyway to the point im just wishing you the best of luck for your current lawsuit against coldplay. Personally its blatantly obvious they have copied your riff and i have no doubts that the judge/jury in your case will notice straight away that its the same.

Joe: Just a quick one. I'm also in your corner for the coldplay thing.

Hope it all goes well.

mann rupturted discs suck. hope mr. timmons heals fast.

The Andy Timmons back thing is not as bad as originally thought, Andy posted this on his site:

"Hey Everybody,

Thanks so much for your outpouring of concern and support over the last couple of days. The good news is that I saw a back specialist today and everything looks fine...it seems to be only a bad muscle pull. So, I'll just have to take it easy for the next few days (me, relax???) and begin a series of exercises and stretching to prevent it from happening again. I think it has something to do w/carrying that double gig bag for so many years!!!

I really feel terrible that we had to cancel the Mesa Clinic tour dates! My apologies to all who were planning on attending. I believe this is the first time I've ever had to cancel shows due to health issues. It takes a lot to keep me down!! (but trust me, I was down!!!!)

I'll post some other cool news in a separate post soon!!

Thanks again....you guys mean a lot to me!!!

Love from Texas,

Andy"

Hey Joe, I have been a fan of yours for quite some time and have been to many of your gigs. It's great when you are in Austin playing. It's worth the 3 hour drive to get there!!!

I hope all goes well in your suit against coldplay. The first and only time I heard that song I knew it was your song. Sad that people feel that they can get away with something like this, anyways just know that there are a lot of people behind you.

Cappy, 3 minutes of yer life...gone forever. lol!

I got a bad cold. I sound like a man when I talk. My husband and son have been laughing at me for 2 days. Yesterday I took a nap on the sofa, and when I woke up I said something to my husband, and my voice was sooo low, I laughed for 5 minutes. Just couldn't stop laughing, and every time I tried to talk, I'd laugh again. I'm glad I'm still entertaining when I'm sick. lol!

I blame Canada!

OMG! I have soo much catching up to do.

My man and I are doin OK. A lot of stuff goin on at work and a local radio station. Went to a gig Friday night and met my favorite DJs, listened to cover bands, had a Brit dinner at Britannia Arms and met a few musicians--the place was packed so Steve and I had to sit at a table out back. Had fun.

Igneousiceman--Re: Panama, one of my favorite Van Halen songs--the sucker rocks big time!!

Glitzman--So far Crystal Planet is my favorite Satch album. I love the drumming on "Train of Angels" and the guitar progression. Need to buy more albums as I can. I'm very short of cash right now.

DoTheStu--I like your balanced approach to the Satriani/ColdPlay law suit. Your view on this subject is so welcome. I also need to catch up on what's going on--too many other things going on. Regarding ITLIS--I haven't bought any albums in December. I bought PSAMOR, 2 copies one for myself and the other for my nephew. That's it. I'm afraid ITLIS will have to wait. Also, I am looking forward to getting my Fender Acoustic Guitar either this week or next.

Maritime--My weary hope looks forward to the resolution of this complex court case involving Joe and ColdPlay. This is not 'cut and dried", but I do believe this is a solid issue. I just want justice to prevail. ALSO I LIKE TO READ YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR (HUMOUR?) BECAUSE IT IS SO REFRESHING!

MICHELLE & TRACIE--You two make me laugh and I don't know what this board would be like without you both.

Time for breakfast.

All the best to you T2Jers.
