PipSatrini - yes you with the daddy long legs fingers! If I could play Extremist I would be a legend in my own lunchtime :0). But I'll keep practising. My bro checked out the Fender today and said it was perfect so glad I made a smart purchase.

Michelle - prayers for your sister, sounds like she has a great support network in you and your other sister.

Scubadaz - that doesn't sound right sorry! it will take some getting used to - BTW do you have any vids of you playing?

Cheese - thanks for those vids they were great, and Joe looked good with the short hair.

Joe - hope all is well with you, Looking forward to Chickenfoot, hope G3 tours Australia or Asia (at least that's close) so I can come see you (me and roo and his wife). I am diligently practising guitar like a good girl, watched Deep Purple Saarbrucken again today I just love that one....

Do The Stu - liked all the Proc Tree tracks really......

Al - ah grasshopper, I remember being out all night and seeing the sun come up....must do it again some time

sad guitar happy - welcome my fellow Melburnian - what's your favourite Satch song? Do you play?

scubadaz - check out this old Satch Boogie video I don't think the dancers add to it really......

Pip Satrini hey phil, about 10 years ago i wrote a tune , that was pretty similar as an instrumental.. and i also figured if jeff beck can cover the beatles ...i could cover miley cyrus...LOL ..it was stuck in my head so i did it as a fun thing to do.

feck off u

Mr. McKenna--How many times are you gonna say, "I'm never drinkin' again"? AND MEAN IT?! Alls I can say at this point is DON"T HURT YOURSELF! That's what me supervisor says ta me when I try to push 3 book trucks at the same time or lift heavy furniture over me head. When ya drink and smoke like there's no tomorrow, it's time for a beautiful woman to tuck ya into bed...what a ya expect? BTW..That cover of "Catholic Girls" by Zappa was so funny--lmao! That singer dude was so funny in the middle of the song with his illustrative moves! Ya got that right, Al! Thank you, man.

Michelle--My heartfelt prayers and best desires for your sister's surgery and recovery. Sisters make wonderful friends and allies in this crushing world.

Saturday at the library was another crushing day for me. More tears and retreats to the private office to try to sort me-self out. So much to do when people leave piles of books/media all over the tables and floors. People and books everywhere! It's nice when people give me media and books to put away instead of leaving them on the floor and spread out all over the furniture.

I'm at least 3 or 4 pages behind on posts. AND WHERE IS MARITIME the prince of the Netherlands? He makes me laugh with his Dr. Clogs persona. I hope there is another chapter on the way. It is a fact that Joe and Steve Vai love visiting the Netherlands--I have Steve Vai's DVD of his musical adventure with the METROPOLE orchestra. Great musical collaboration!

Chee101--How is you and your Chris? I guess being a mom is complicated--so much goin' on with your wishes and prayers for your youngin. My younger sister looks to me to be a brilliant mom with her two kids--my nephew and niece. At 4-years-old my niece fell in love with a sweet little boy and had compassion on him when he went through a crisis. She hugged him and planted a kiss on his cheek. Then the crisis was over. He hugged her back. She invited him to her birthday party when she turned 4 and 5. He was fascinated by the bubble machine at the party and wanted to know how it worked. He and his family have since moved to Sacramento. Little Miss Tiffany cried when she found out he had moved away. Gee, amazing how love blooms at such a young age! What a generous niece! Her older brother was interested in girls at a young age as well. Kids are amazing!
