In Memoriam

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93.

A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280 Interstate. Please be careful!"

"It's not just one car," said Herman. "It's hundreds of them!"

Don't sweat the petty things.

Don't pet the sweaty things.

Corduroy pillows are making headlines!

Prayers and best wishes for Cappy and family. Get well soon.

Maritime...Where are you? Just haven't heard from you in a few days or maybe missed your posts...I know you mentioned your heart and that is always a concern. Hope all is well.

slanshroom:- Thanks for the heads up big fella. Prayers ,thoughts and deepest best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mrs Cappy and a quick and safe journey home for Cappy himself. May God be with you both all the way, who ever you percieve Him to be.

Thanks again, Roy.Please keep us posted on Cappy's behalf.

HEY EVERYONE!

I hope everyone is doing well. I have been busy for the past couple of weeks with work, running, family, etc. It does feel good to actually write a post to all of you. I have been reading everybody's posts and it looks like there has been quite some eventful things happening there. Hopefully all of it boils down. I miss chatting with all of you.

My work at the Holiday Inn is starting to become quite a handful. I'm the one who constantly does (almost) all the work and there is practically no organization by a lot of these workers. I'm thinking about getting back my other job at the Hilton and work at both hotels. I have done if before for a couple of months last year. The staff and the Hilton said they miss me a lot and they will be ecstatic if I came back to work with them. I haven't made any decisions yet.

My running is coming along well. I try to put in at least 20-30 miles a week. Yesterday I put in a little over 10 miles. My next running race is this Saturday: The Nutri-Run 20K and 5 Mile Run. I'll be doing the 20K (12.43 Mile Run), which is my fourth time doing it. Wish me luck all of you. I'll let you know how it all went down.

Zinc Master: I doubt I'll be doing the Mini in Valpo. I already signed up for four races. Two in April and two in May (three of those are points race). I will be doing the Nutri-Run 20K this Saturday. Wish me luck.

Michelle: I have heard about your sister and I prayed for her as much as I can. How's she doing now? Wish me luck Saturday for my run.

Slashroom: Please let Cappy Steve know that I'm praying for him and (mostly) his wife on her recovery.

Speaking of prayers, prayers to the family and friends of actress Natasha Richardson who passed away.

Skippygirl: Long time since I chatted with you. How are you doing? I have been busy with my work and running and everything again. All of this makes me really fatigued and tired. I almost ended up with another case of RLS, but it did not happen, thank goodness. How's the guitar playing going for you? My next run is this Saturday and it is the 20K. Wish me luck. Tell everyone I said hi.

Blue_Moon: Hey Al. How's the guitar playing going and how was your St. Patrick's Day? I didn't drink because I knew I had that run that is coming up this Saturday.

Maritime: How are you doing man. We all miss ya.

You don't need good luck - just for everyone to get out of your way.

Scubadaz--Thanks for the Steve Vai vid---I was lmao when the classroom walls were shaking, the globe blew apart and the blackboard nearly fell off the wall! Did the grown up Steve Vai "give birth" to a guitar?? I couldn't believe my eyes!

Joe, Steve Vai, Steve Morse and Yngwie are guitar brothers not of this world!!

Cappy Steve--My prayers and best wishes to you and your wife.

I'm 2 days behind in posts and am enjoying the vids of Joe with collaborations with Grace and John Petrucci......The Squares way back when......Thanks to Michelle and Al McKenna, Scubadaz, Do the Stu and everyone else who has posted links to Joe and all his brother and sister musicians.

Now for some Marshall Tucker Band:

"Gonna take a freight train, down at the station, I don't care where it goes........Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain......jump off, nobody gonna know........Can't ya see...OOh! Can't ya see what (McKenna..he's) been doing to me!! (With my apologies to Alan.) ;-0

Fair play t y all just posted yer best wishes onto Cappy there

GlitzMan: Good luck on Saturday, I wish you the best of luck in your life..

JOE- time are hard right now, but todaywhen i put in your self titled album, all my problems and worries just kinda faded away! thanks for your amazing music! I really hope you can make it to spokane this tour. We are missin you up here! I really hope that one of these years soon you will play at the sandpoint festival. Its so amazing. some great muscians have played there. and if you played there... well you would just be the greatest muscian to ever play there... check it out HERE

my thoughts to you cappy!

hey everyone! how is everybody.

been a while since i posted last.

roo - Dog With Crown And Earring would be cool to hear at a Chickenfoot gig. I'd like Slick, actually.

But unfortunately, I think we'll get Satch Boogie and another song that Joe plays all the time. I wish he'd do something different, though, because this is such an unusual opportunity.

You know, I actually think it'd be really cool for Chickenfoot to do Up In Flames. It's not one of my favorites from that album, but Joe originally wrote that song for Planet Us so it's relevant.

Scubadaz - Couldn't say anything bad about EJ whatsoever. I was actually into his music before Joe's. I have always wished he put out more music through the 90's. I heard though that he might be coming out with something new later this year. Has anyone else heard that?
