Homer slippers made by Homer himself.

That's right baby, Homer didn't make yer slippers. Yers are made by some knock off company somewhere, not in Springfield. You miss me. I can tell. That'll teach you to travel without us!

holee schmokees, thanks D_O_M.....

LIKIN what I heard so far, wanna hear MORE!!!

Al--You will never be a Nigel, knock-off or otherwise! Yer way too handsome;-) Nigel can't hold a candle to you!

Now about my guitar lessons--Ry Kihn gave me a long list of supplies to buy from a local music store. He wants me to get a music stand and a metronome. Now that's a lota stuff....uuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe not. I have a complete notes of the guitar diagram fretboard and G cleft written music by string-- 1 through 6. He gave me 5 chords to practice--G, G7, D, Am and C.

Hal Leonard, Guitar Method, Complete Edition is the name of the book I bought for my lessons. So far I've mastered two strings and I'm practicing the third and fourth....now about the fingers......they tend to slide towards each other when I place them behind the frets and it's so frustrating! Oh, well. At least Ry says now I'm playing guitar now, which is encouraging.

Tracie--There are plenty of clouds but little rain here. I saw a few droppies on my windshield as I drove to an appointment this morning. Please send some real rain clouds down this way because we Cali peeps are parched!

You are still at the top of Joe's fan list and will prolly stay there for the remainder of time!! Would like to hear how you discovered Joe if it's open information. It's the curious Milli without agenda or ulterior motive here. ;-D

Joe!!! DUUUDE!! That Chickenfoot sound bit is killer! The noodley stuff is good, but then you break into the crunchy stuff - straight for my heart. lmao! Big bass and drums, and who doesn't love Sammy?

That just made my day.

Thanks for the link D_O_M!

NOW IT'S RAINING! I hope it continues everyday through February and March. Yet, Cali is on the dry side(?) of the world.

Chickenfoot is allive and kickin' ass!

Joe--Are you any closer to releasing the Paris DVD? Please let us know where you're at with it. We can't wait. I know you're busy with Chickenfoot, but we have celebrated the holidays without it and want to see you having a blast again!

Happy day today! An Amazon delivery came today with "Not of This Earth" on CD! I have Joe's first album! Woooohooo!!!

lil interview with Brazilian tv from last summer....

Chelle, I thought of you the second those crunchy notes started up, thought....man chelle is gonna LOVE this, LOL.....as I do too...BRING IT ON JOE!!

Millie, actually my son got into Joe long before I did....he started playing acoustic guitar in 2002, and that summer, as we were out garage-saling, we came across a cd collection the guy was selling. Chris was looking at a Van Halen cd thinking he was the bomb, and also a Carlos Santana cd... so we were standing there debating on what to get and talking about guitar playing. The guy heard us and said "If you wanna hear great guitar playing, THIS is the guy for you!" And he handed Chris Joe's Flying in a Blue Dream cd. So that's the one we bought, and the guy was kinda torqued at his wife for sneaking that one out there, he didn't really wanna let it go. Thank goodness he did though....

Chris put that cd on and it was for him, like it was when Joe first heard Jimi....he was so drawn to his music, it was all he wanted to hear for a really long time. In fact, he truly wore that cd out just listening to it and trying to play what he was hearing.

So....2 years go by, where Chris was trying that whole time to get me to listen to the cd but I wouldn't...I was...sorry to say....only into (shhhhhh) country music at the time and didn't wanna hear rock. But finally, the summer of 2004, he'd had a good summer, so I thought I'd try to be a cool mom and take him to a Joe Satriani concert, JUST ONCE...to reward him. I figgered I could stand it one time and would do it for him :) Turned out Joe was touring at that time with Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy, and the closest they were coming was Reno, NV. Well....back then I wasn't so adventurous but thought, okay, we'll try it. Bought tickets (seats were crap but I dint realize that or care too much then) and off we went. Chris was sooooooooooo excited and I was like...I hope I live through this, LOL!!

We stayed at the same casino hotel where the concert was being held...and he was so anxious that even though we had assigned seats, he wanted to stand outside in line like hoursssssss before the show, lol!! So out we went, we were two of about 6 people in line for a really long time....

As we're standing there...Chris started to POUND on my shoulder...he could barely talk but finally got out to say..."MOM....THERE'S JOE!!!!" I thought my arm was gonna fall off, lol!! But it was indeed Joe, coming outside to head down to the outdoor venue for I guess sound check. All the other guys with us hollered for him, and Joe instantly came over to say hi, shake hands, sign autographs, take pics....now...Chris and I are kinda short so we got lost behind the tall guys...and Joe started to walk away, thinking he'd met everyone...

Chris looked at me with HUUUUUUGE eyes and didn't know what to do, so I hollered out "Hey Joe?" but thought maybe our chance passed us by...but nope...Joe turned right around and came back, shook Chris's hand, took a pic and then off he went...and that night we saw the most kick-ass show ever :) I was hooked from that moment forward, and when we got back home, instantly went online and bought every Joe cd, guitar tab book and stuffs that I could find, Chris thought he'd died and gone to heaven, LOL!!

Oh, and the pic he took with Joe...Joe has this wonderful friendly smile on his face and Chris....looks like he swallowed worms, LMAO!! He was so happy and excited to meet Joe in person, he couldn't even breathe!! And his feet (okay, and mine too) dint hit the ground for at least a week after that experience.

So now, since Sept 2004, I've been to 16 shows, and Chris to 14...he dint get to come to the two shows in Ireland this year. We're just regular folks...but we love our Joe!!

"just once" she says - lmao!!!

Nevah!!! Once you see Joe, yer HOOKED!!

it's an addiction :- )

sigh....yes....yes it is.....

...but....
