McKenna--Please get well. Drink lots a tea and orange juice and chicken soup. I hope Joe's music and your guitar help you forget about your predicament for awhile. I am confident you'll get through this soon. Maybe Campbell, Cube and Slans have suggestions as well.

Ozzy_Fudd--You are a funny guy. I like your "chase those wascully wabbits" attitude. I hope your best dreams come true.

I'm curious. Does the Netherlands have a dry season?

Top of the mornin' to all you T2Jers.

Michelle..thanks for the linky (Gnaahh) enjoyed that, and remember it now!

PHil - seriously, t'was excellent!

WhammyFreak, Have you tried a program like 'Replay Media Catcher'?

I use that to grab YouTube vids. Works well.

I am recording to my 'puter that webcast you referred to above with RMC right now. Using the demo version. (i.e., free). It's up to where Joe is playing his space amoeba JS for "Up in Flames." So far so good.

I got a concert to watch. Later.

DUPED my post.

erm...unless yer in a tropical paradise, now's not really a good time to be on a boat. Just what do you do on that wooden ship anyways?

zen, nice find. I love Seals voice. The tune gets better as it goes on. Cool.

Go Minnesota Vikings ! !

JoeSatrini - hey happy new year Phil. Thanks for asking re the geetar - my fingers DO feel better now as everyone said they would but OMG they were on fiiyaahhh after the first session!

So far G,E,Em,A,Am, are all OK and sound nice, but D,C,F are giving me trouble - I just have to practice and practice to get the fingers and the sound right and then work on switching chord speed. I wish I had your fingers!!! So long and spidery - all over the fretboard so easily you lucky bugger.

I am leaving the 7ths etc until I can get the first batch of chords right. The strumming is also hard to work out - the book provides the up-down-up-down-down-down etc but then it hit me with a "syncopated" strum pattern that was WTF? Couldn't work out where to leave out which strum!

Hey Joe How are you. i have always been a very big fan of you, and i always have been studying your music. is there any way or any type of lessons i could recieve from you because i can not afford to go to the berkeley school of music and i know you are even better than the teachers there. i would really love to have lessons from you. if you offer any lessons in person or online please let me know

thanks joe i really appreciate it

SupaaDupaaDave, CRANK IT! You know you wanna!

Alan, wine makes ya forget about yer cold... till the next day. lol!

C'mon now, Westbrook's singing it!!

Spacebars: Sorry bit late for this one, but I think it's hilarious that there's this huge bloody key on the keyboard, waaaay bigger than all others, and when you hit it, you get absolutely nothing at all! Even the full-stop key has at least a single pixel! :)

Sorry Dave, the fat lady has sung.

and now for something completely different...
