Ahhh Blue_Moon---Go ahead and enjoy yer M&Ms. Maybe one day you will develop a liking for dark chocolate like fatape and me. I didn't always like dark chocolate as much as I do now. Ya just have to grow in enjoyin' chocolate over the years......at least for me. Y'll see.

Live long and prosper, young man!

Michelle--You have some great comedy shows goin'-- yer own and all these crazy goofland musicians who.......as they say, the boys just wanna have fun AND the girls just wanna have fun.....Great moments in goofi-land!! Anymore chapters in these comedy shows? Please send 'em on. Thanks lots.

Guitarvibes--I'm still savoring the Marc Resch book and learning about the red light district in Amsterdam. I love the statue in the midst of the district......make a great picture for my (hahaha) new magazine BITS! What a great place for a museum--the history of sex in civilization. Great to have a place to go for "higher" education besides a stolid sweep it under the carpet USA where pretending to be so-above it all has become an artform especially in certain tight circles of despicable greed, maliciousness and vicious hatred--a previous Presidential administration comes to mind and also the one from more than 30 years ago! The USA needs to clean up its act and join the rest of the world INCLUDING CANADA in a more realistic, compassionate and open view and behavior towards our fellow earthlings........I am certain that compassion is as valuable today and in the future as it was in the past.

I am sooooooooo knackered!!! ;-/

Al--Homesick for youth and elders and important stuff like Steve Vai, Joe and friends talk about with their guitars.

Ozzy - loved that vid thanks for a great Mothers' Day gift to starrt the day!

Scubadaz - correct me if I'm wrong but haven't we had mothers day (over here) already?

If we haven't I'm in deep sh**.... : ) but pretty sure it was in March

Room 335

and I forgot how funny this was!

lmao!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...dark chocolate and Jack Daniels.

Anyone care to join me???

No chocolate, but I'm having a cup of chamomile tea and a double shot of Jager :-)

Cheers!

Fatape--Dark chocolate anytime. I'll pass on the Jack Daniels. Thanks for offering.

Michelle--What What....goofiness the way I like it!!

Happy Mother's Day to all!! Come on, Al, give all of your Moms some love!! ;-)

Just saw this on VHLinks - there's a German CD store that has 30-second previews of all 11 Chickenfoot songs (but not the vinyl-only bonus track "Bitten By The Wolf"): http://www.cede.ch/en/music-cd/frames/frameset.cfm?aobj=710439

Great sounding stuff! I can definitely hear Joe's fingerprints all over the songs, but also Sammy's style too. Can't wait for May 19th at the Roxy!

David Gilmour explains his string-bending technique
"Just push. The wire gets tigher, the pitch goes up." So that's how he does it! Who'd have thought it was that easy?

Thanx for the Chickenfoot listening link.
Makes me want a Joe solo album even more.
(with Anthony and Smith could be cool, a Joe solo album with screaming grinding dirty rock without poppy lyrics waisting time between solos)

Satchblues - thanks mate that link is gold, really enjoyed hearing a snippet of each song on the CD.

Got a nice new lime green ipod for Mothers' Day (we don't do MD in a big way, this year for some reason they went silly) I thiink because the kids knew I'd crammed the 2gb one full. Now I can cram more Joe on and have room for others :0).

Have a great week all.

burly - 'morning mate, up and at 'em....
