Wow I've been away for awhile. Stuffs been really busy here lately. Still trying to find a good local band to do the music for my paranormal group's documentary. Still haven't found one that impresses me and it doesn't help that I'm really just wanting instrumental not that interested in vocals.
Most local bands here do the Blues and that's not quite the way I'm wanting to go. Good thing I still have plenty of time since the music and voice overs are the last things we'll be editing into it.
I wish we had the financial resources to get Joe to do the music for us, that's the type of sound I'm wanting but so far nobody here has been able to pull it off. Oh well I get to keep looking. I've heard some good music though, some of these people do have talent just not the right sound.
Other than that I've been working on a book, and taking care of my cat after she got spayed. She's doing good now. Also trying to maintain sanity cause the kids are getting major cabin fever and the weather here can't quite decide if it wants to be spring or winter.
So that's what I've been doing. I am looking forward to Chickenfoot and hoping they come close to me while on tour.

THE JOËLLE'S POEM
Us the poets, we are neither cicadas neither ants.
Us, the poets, the true, we are fireflies & the tapeworm troubles us.
& we go, with our demons, by the way of angels & maidens.
We go, full of joy & painful, like Noël's children, which belongs to no one.

Do the Stu - The pic that I saw was on the facebook site. If you click the pictures and then click on the live rehearsal photos. There is a pic of joe pointing out his pedal board. There is a white time machine pedal. He's actually using 3 time machines.

Speaking of Aerosmith, Joe Perry not being a virtuoso type guitarists, I still really like his unique style and phrasing. J.P. is one of the players I would love to see team up with Satch at least on stage for a duet to see what each brought out of the other.
I would also like to see Satch and David Gilmore do similar on something slow and gritty. It is interesting sometimes to see musicians of different styles perform together. Many times you see sides of each player you may never have seen.
I can sit all day and think up these duet wish lists. What are some of your "fantasy duets" T2Jers?

I just came in for a quick lunch, been out in the pickup rediscovering "Speak of the Devil" as I mentioned in my earlier post this morning. I know some of you who have not heard this will check it out. Don't listen to it until you have time to sit down and listen to the whole thing at once preferably with headphones. But a word of caution,..Be careful with the volume. The drums will pop an ear drum. If you are a fan of heavy guitar with the perfect tone and pounding drums, you will need a cigarette when you are finished, and I don't smoke. TTFN burly

Roo---Where is you? You've got mail.
Satriella--All those guys that wanna get layed.........Don't they have anything better to do? I guess they have to make sure their bits work....I guess that's it. The Scottish men have great accents, especially when they say "Early" and the kilts show off the handsome hairy legs. These are great places to carpet kiss!!!!!!! Carpet kissing is sure a hell of a lot better than "carpet bombing" don't ya think?? Make love not war and all that old fashioned stuff. Has making love gone out of fashion?????

The Chickenfoot podcast is awesome...I never thought I'd hear Joe say the words "you go from Get It Up to Sexy Little Thing" in my life. ;-)
Sammy said something about Joe's bass player being sick before the PSATMOR tour? I guess that was the "scheduling conflict" with Brad that led to us getting Stu?
I'm glad to hear Sammy say he thinks his best lyrics are here...after listening to Soap On A Rope and Down The Drain countless times, I think his lyrics are the weakest part. So I look forward to being surprised on the rest of the album.
And we have another former Planet Us song...Learning To Fall. So that's four songs from that band that we know of now.
burly - I like the Speak Of The Devil album quite a bit...I wasn't aware that lineup had toured together for more than to record that album, though. It's cool that you got to see 'em. Are you a member of Dime A Dozen? Maybe you can find something there...
Tommy Aldridge is a great drummer...I saw him in Ted Nugent's band, opening for Kiss in 2000. And sure enough, you just mentioned that in another post.
Onto Joe Perry...I like his playing a lot, and I think it'd be very cool to hear him do something with Satch. I know they've crossed paths at festivals and so on, but I think the closest they've come to playing together is both having songs on the Merry Axemas album.
I know Satch has been at a few Les Paul birthday parties / benefit gigs...I wonder if he's ever jammed with Joe Perry at one of those.
...Austin...

Hi Joe and T2Jers,
I just ordered 7 Joe Satriani CDs today!! More about this later. Joe, I shared info about Chicken Foot with my podiatrist!! LOL! Seriously, I am looking forward to seeing you guys in Mountain View, San Jose or San Francisco this year. Please let us know when you will be in the Western USA with Sammy, Mike, and Chad. Please.
Thanks for all the "Foot" notes and info!

T2Jers- I have to buy my 14 year old daughter an electric acoustic. I don't really need to spend a wad of $, but I want a descent instrument. I bought her a nice S series Ibanez last year and she opted for trading me out of my Les Paul.( which was suprisingly easy for me to do. I love the S series.) Now she wants an elec / acous., typical musician, never satisfied. She is starting to work with the more difficult chords. Any recommendations? $ range 5-700 American Dollars give or take a little. She is picky about appearance and does not like the Montage Ibanez or the Ovations with the weird openings. I am leaning toward Ibanez but am not familiar with the models. I have researched them and can't seem to make up my mind. But I have to do something quickly because right now she is lugging around my D 28 which makes me crazy nervous.
