SuperSwingDog - love the new name, that's great news about going back to work, spose you can now get some more guitars and pedals :))
Glitzy - I love your posts, you erase all negativity and make everything happy! Hope the leg-rest is good for the next race. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow!!! I recommend a Mojito myself, drink of choice amongs my crowd at the moment.
The fires were awful but yes an enormous amount of funds and relief effort was raised. Still some fires burning but under control. I think it will take a few years for the grief, loss and effects of the trauma to work it's way out of those communities - it isn't just a case of re-building your house. I am glad that people are more and more saying that they will just evacuate in the future and not try to save their houses (although this time nobody had any warning).
I bought a 2nd hand Fender acoustic and I am trying real hard to get 20-30 mins practice in every day. Songs sound bad :( but I am focussing on trying to hit the correct sound from the chord and building switching speed so I actually do more exercises than playing songs at this point. Mind you, I listen to Joe going to and from work in the car and I desperately want to be able to play something like Summer Song or Turkey Man soon!! The electric is put away for a little while until we move back into our house is a week or so.
roo - your site is looking really good. I think I have a vinyl you don't have - woo hoo! (but you have hundreds of things I don't have :( ). Does your wife enjoy Joe as well and go to the shows? Would like some fellow fans to rock with when he comes out again. Saw the Linkedin group too.
ibanez-god - thanks for all your kind posts re the geetar, I really aprreciate it. Hope you can find work soon - I thought you were a pro musician actually - can you make that musical and guitar knowledge pay for you? give lessons?

SuperSwingDog - Congrats! :-) Is it just like things were? Are you full-time right away, or...?
Tostado - I don't quite think of Tony Hawk when I hear that song...interesting, though.
To me, it sounds like a cross between Montrose's Rock Candy and Sammy Hagar's Little White Lie, if both songs were from the late 60s.
hybes - I love journalism...I'm only bummed about the company I work for. The paper I work for is part of a group of eight or so in the Los Angeles area, and in a month or two all of our jobs are moving to West Covina (45 minutes away, in the middle of nowhere). So we'll all be working on all of the papers in a combined desk, and it's all going to be really unorganized and horrible.
I'm actually leaning toward quitting when that happens, but I don't have any other work lined up just yet. On top of this, I've had to take five furlough days (unpaid time off) in February/March...that just sucks. Anyway, I'll have more to say later...
michelle - Ah, I hadn't heard that your hours were cut...when did that happen, and how bad was it?
...Austin...

yes, I am safe after being invaded by screaming teenagers and soccer moms... I had arranged everything so I didn't have to leave the house at all yesterday, but the wifey got a gig she could not refuse and I ended up stuck in traffic anyways, grrrr...
Austin, I feel you man, I absolutely hate my job... It is the most meaningless shit I have ever done and the worst part is that I probably have to suck it up for at least two more years until I'm done with school... I am glad to hear you were born in May '83, so was I!!!

Skippygirl!
Shame, shame, shame. You can't possibly say that and not tell me WHICH vinyl!
I almost bought another js3 a week or so ago. But told Rich as I couldn't get the money, so he got it. It would have been a fight for it if I could have got the money.

SuperSwingDog--Great news to hear you have work! Hope all goes well.
Michelle--How are your kittehs doing? Is that funny guy puffing out at any noises, sights or smells lately? That was a great post some time back when he puffed out when hearing "that ghetto shit" lmao!! Cats are great entertainers!
Tracie--Happy birthday to your Chris! Wow! Twenty-one and staying on the Satchland road! I hope to catch up with you on that happy road to Satch heaven!!
Skippygirl, Slans, Al Mc--I love playing my guitar. I'm learning Pete Townshend's riffs to "Shakin' All Over". Ry showed me how to set the heel of my hand on the bridge to mute the low E string, A and D strings. Then I go E,E up an octave to E,E (4th string), open D,D ; B,B (5th string) and repeat. It sounds so coool!
Maritime--The lies, fraud, shredding of the US constitution and the complacency of government to checks, balances and needed regulation as well as Guantanamo have been so embarrassing to me. I was beginning to think the real United States of America was dying from the inside out. That's why I voted for Barak Obama and he is in office now. We had to take his word on faith that he will turn this country back to the rule of law and gain back respect from our allies that was lost at least since 9/11/01! We approached that tragedy so badly, I don't know where to begin to untangle the snarls of despicable lies and fraud involved! We were supposed to approach that attack as a criminal case NOT a case of war. How do you get through to a fraudulant President Bush that it was a Justice Strategy to be pursued NOT a war strategy??? The oligarchy we US citizens find ourselves in now is a mockery of what we were. That's why the middle class (or what is left of it) must organize and be in continuous contact (if necessary) with our elected officials in Washington, DC! It looked like you brought a concrete wall to this forum to ensnare us US citizens--NOT SO! I guess you just wanted to see who is awake here. You are still a Dutch Brother among brothers. ;-)

Mikesb--Thanks for the Simon and Garfunkel, The Boxer--great song. So many great ones.
Joe--I have 8 of your albums on CD and it's not enough. Wish I could just buy all the rest, but my savings keeps shrinking and I've been losing hours at work--no work, no pay! I am determined to set a goal for each month--at least one. I'll see where this takes me.
My Steve will be celebrating his double nickles birthday on Wednesday. I wish I could give him a cure for epilepsy then. It's so tough. Three doctors and no answer yet---what to do??? ;-/ What I can give him is tickets to see Zappa Plays Zappa in Santa Cruz next week on Wednesday. It should be a good concert.
Jeff Beck will be at the Fox Theater in Oakland on April 23. Tickets went on sale yesterday.

Stu the Do: interesting about that band Lotus, there was another one by that name in the 60s, and also a little known (I think Australian but not sure) ambient electronica outfit that is impossible to find any information about due to the other two.

Chee101Tracie--No one plays guitar like Joe. He makes it look so damn easy when it isn't. It looks like the guitar leads him to all the notes, phrases, moves, everything! His expression of music is so compelling, I can't get enough!
Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie, Steve Morse, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert and all the other guitarists whose names I can't think of right now share a brotherhood that spans the universe! How great is that? The personas are only a glimpse of what is really there. Behind all that is such a love of music driven by the generations from centuries past into the 21st century and beyond.........It makes me want to wake up every morning and start a new day and shake off the dark and dismal. Pick up where I left off the day before.
Let's meet on this road where music and friendship, brotherhood and sisterhood intersect. I want to meet new people and make new friends. I want to let go of the old and put on the new. With or without the horses of yesterday. And how I love horses!

On the subject of band names and Wikipedia (sorta related to my post to Artanis I below), are there any heavy Wikipedia users here? The site's page for Chickenfoot links to a Firefox extension, not our band.
Once we know for sure that this is THE name they're going with I think we need to do what we can to get the page names changed. There's a note on the Firefox extension's page that says it doesn't meet notability guidelines so it should be an easy argument, but who knows...
hybes - I forgot to mention this earlier, but I actually started working in sports. I pulled all the stats/standings from the AP to do the scoreboard page, and I also talked to high school coaches on the phone and did short write-ups on their games. I had a lot of fun doing that, but things at work started to change and I realized I'd have more job security if I switched to news.
I love the type of work I do now, but I miss sports every now and then...
cosmic_ape - I got my Paul Gilbert ticket in the mail today...have you decided whether or not you'll make it out to the show? I can pick you up on my way there, if it makes it any easier for you...let me know.
Artanis I - I heard about Lotus from a friend about four months ago, and it was hard to find out anything about them because of the 60s band. Wikipedia wasn't very helpful either.
Have you heard of Three? They're a prog rock band, and what's funny is there's a prog-ish ELP side project from the 80s with the same name. And there's a third band with that name that has some popularity, I think. So confusing! ;-)
cheese101 - What did I tell you about posting links to Satch in Long Beach for NAMM? Argh...!
GoldenGirl2 - Have you heard of Porcupine Tree, by any chance? Their music isn't like Satch or Vai by any means, but based on the way you describe what you like about music I really think you'd really enjoy them.
It's really hard to describe their sound, but I guess they could be considered a modern Pink Floyd.
Listening to: Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction (current song: My Michelle)
I haven't listened to this album in a while, but man, do I have every note memorized.
Does anyone else have albums like that?
I don't think this one would even be the best example for me...I'd probably have to go with Aerosmith's first six studio albums.
...Austin...
