Ha ha... it's Pancake day... I won't start that one up again, but Joe - hope you enjoyed some Bettey's Oatmeal Pancakes! That's something I should have tried out whilst in the US.

Anibur - what were you celebrating? Strangely enough Joe wasn't no 1 on the list, but having Joe's big influence at 1 sits well with me

Cheese-inator - you can now give the CP covert op some serious thought, ha ha. As for my singing, I sing at concerts. I'm an awesome concert singer ; ) Definitely will squeeze in a few more days, and prolly a day or two off work before hand as well (that can't have helped either).

Maritime/Blue Moon - thanks for the cable info. Still haven't had chance to try the PW cable yet. Will have a look at those others too, thanks

JS1200JS1000 - seriously, white? I know in the early days his promos had white 540S's (I think) but that was deffo a JS series and surely just a JS1BK with silver paint pen? I have (or more likely had) an article from back then with Joe describing it. Interesting either way...

Michelle - yep, agree. The thing that bothers me with these legends or greats polls is JS is never in them. But at the same time, it's normally a bunch of my fave tracks so it's not all bad : ) I would like to be a fan of not doing dishes too - it truly wrecks the guitar playing bits!?

Igneous - I may have dribbled on my laptop over some.... kidding! I think I should have bought the previous model I liked as it seems the prices have doubled so that's me out! I seem to remember his training was always based around peaking in July... I take it you're talking clipless for a road bike (new shoes)?

Do The Stu - interesting (about Beck). I'm sure I can recall some negative comments from Joe (which only sprung from comments from Jeff)... but then again, it could all have been gossip. Interesting point re Slash. Maybe ask them to sign something of their's (CP) but in a JS tour shirt? PS, I think you should add your name to the NOT chickenfoot list ; )

Glitzman - what sort of training do you do? It can't be just running surely? You must have some variety so share if you feel like it? Stay well

Roo - where was the JS3 for sale? I'd love to take a look, they're my fave. Also, any idea how much it went for?

rebeccabeck1977 - sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family

Cube - you posted a link to Al's favourite site. I really like your cover, regardless of it being a cover. Maybe this version should be released - it'll probably chart higher!

Happy Birthday Chrispy

cosmic_ape - You should buy your ticket ASAP...the show is at the House Of Blues on Sunset, so the capacity is probably only around 1,000. Here's a link for you:

We should also plan on eating at the venue, since we'll get let in early by doing that. It's a bit pricey (something like $10-$12 for a hamburger and fries, to name one item), but being inside first makes it worth it. I know this particular HOB takes dinner reservations because it doesn't open until 5 p.m. They're probably already full, but in the past I've just sat at the bar and ordered dinner...it's easy to walk right in and do that.

I'm at work now, but I'll email you later with more specific info. Go ahead and buy your ticket now, though. You'll probably have to have it held at will call since the show date is so close, but I can hold a spot in line for you while you're getting that straightened out on the show night.

Pip Satrini: the js3 was owned by Pete Galindo: here and here

I know I will kick myself for years to come that I let it slip through my fingers... :(

Oh well, had to make the decision and the timing was bad.

HEY - NEW CHICKENFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! IPHONE RINGTONES to download from my site on the left info bar under "Download Ringtones"

I basically split the Chickenfoot promo in the middle, so you can have either the "chickenfoot, chickenfoot, chiiickenfooooooooot..." as a ringtone, or the snip of music they played at the end.

anibur - That's an awesome way to post the Chickenfoot link...haha.

I have the deluxe edition, which is a very cool package that includes the original album and then a second disc with a live version of Good Times Roll, demos of the rest of the album, and a few other demos of songs that didn't make the final cut. It's neat to hear how things evolved.

I think I've complained before here about albums such as U2's The Joshua Tree or the Foo Fighters' self-titled album...they bug me because the beginning of the album is loaded up with all the songs that are planned as singles. The Cars does this as well, but it happens twice (the first three songs on each side still get a ton of radio airplay today, which is quite a feat after 30 years) so I think I'll let it slide. ;-)
