A cack-attack!! lmmfao!!! Oooooo, the visions of THAT statement. lmao!

Davey is having a great time now that he's on tour with CF. His boredom & tiredness will be no mo!

I'm having some toast to soak up a lil' Captain. lol! Toast is an underrated food I tells ya!

Austin, did I read that you said you had a hangover? What the shit is going on here? Yer the last man standin' bra. If you go down, we's all in trouble! lol! Who will take notes and drive ffs!!??

Anyways, been thinking about this 4 people for dinner question some more. Four peeps that I would really love to have dinner with - my peeps - Tracie Al, Joan, & Joe. lol! Of course, I'm love for my hubs to be there, but he can be at the table next to me with his peeps. lol! He'd prolly be sitting with Jackson Browne, Shania Twain (on mute), and two other peeps. I have no idea who he'd pick, and I'm not asking either. He hates questions like that. lol!

But anyways...

chelle...it seems to me that...fer yer dinner party...

The girls are the ONLY ones cooperating!!!

Mckenna needs to get his Irish heiney over here to AC, then all we'd need is Joseph to pick the place and we'd be there with bells on!

IT COULD HAPPEN!!

Austin-I'll go album by Album-
Not of This-Don't really listen to it anymore, but
I really only listened to the title track on that one.
I prefer the live (dreaming #11) versions.
Surfing-Crushing Day
Dreaming #11-Crush of love
Flying-All the Vocal songs, One Big Rush, Back to Shalla Bal
Extremist-Cryin', Summer Song, and Motorcycle Driver
Time Machine-Speed of Light, Crazy, Woodstock Jam
Self Titled-SMF, Look my way, Killer Bee bop, Slow Down Blues, Sittin Round
Crystal Planet-Lights of Heaven, Ceremony ,Secret Prayer, A Train of Angels, Psycho Monkey, ZZ's song
Engines of Creation-Flavor Crystal 7.Pretty much a perfect album.

Scuba - Aye, lets do that, I am content to know that there is another one just like me out there somewhere.

Austin - Thanks for the cool idea, maybe I'll make a follow up piece in disco/pop-rock style by that title.

Hey peeps! Well, I go away for a weekend and there's pages of posts to catch up on.

Chicago looked great, what a show it must have been and thanx for all the links.

I was roadie for a group of friends who did an 80km bike ride yesterday, unfortunately the after-party last night did a bit of damage but I do recall some pretty terrible music my buddies were playing - there was no way I could get Satch or Chickenfoot in amongst the Abba and other stuff but it was great fun.

satriella - the santa rosa address is the last one i got so i'd go with that:
Joe Satriani Music
PO Box 2830
Santa Rosa, CA 95405

do the stu - the big bad wah telephone bit was at joe's and the others (time machine, satchurator, big bad garagedoor opener) were all done at the coop (sam's studio) after a day of shooting footage for the next chickenfoot video. :}

thehawkguy - satriani.com work is put a bit on hold while we focus on chickenfoot. i'm sure when we have a break in chickenfoot we'll think about satriani.com redesign again :}

Hi Joe. I would like to introduce to you and those who want to hear a work we have done three guitarists. It's called FG3 (Free Guitars 3) in honor of the GP3.

Congrats to the Hall of Fame Tickets Winners!!!! Be sure to come back with review, pics & Video!!!!

if you still want tix this is an awesome deal! ..hurry!

Well, all this talk has really stirred my creative juices and got me up off my lazy unmotivated butt and I managed to finish my song today.

But my only problem is that I am having really serious trouble mixing it down and keeping any volume, I have to turn it up waaay high and that makes it buzz really bad.

I am still working on it but I am using Cakewalk Sonar as my prime mixer in case anyone has any suggestions.

Facebook can be a STRANGE place sometimes. Sometimes "very small" boys and "very small" girls (although I think girls less so--biased me!) get surly and act out their surliness by name-calling. What else is new??? Anyone who calls someone an effing "abnormal person" drags his/her own name (e.g., Doyle) through shit, the gutter, the sewer! So very sad this.

There are the bright lights that make Facebook attractive and you guys know who you are and what you are made of.......let the music play!

A top of a Sunday morning to all.

I am enjoying Ethiopian coffee. Tomorrow morning is Irish Breakfast tea morning! The Irish castles are so beautiful and hopefully they have some soft furnishings inside. Although, I wouldn't mind a rest on a haystack with an equine buddy eating breakfast nearby. These horses sure have huge noses and it's startling and kinda funny at the same time to get sniffed, checked out by such a big beast! LOL! What great memories I have of my Palomino mare friend! Now I'm just a city woman, married to the sweetest man in the world!

More blue, more blue!!

Satch on drums wasn't half bad. He did better than Sammy. Thanx for the vid!

Bluebuffalo: have you seen any shows in Tahoe? Not sure how the Chickenfoot shows will go but the last few Sammy shows have had real sucky crowds. Too many drunks and too much bs going on with pushing and shoving and little to no security. Hope it goes better for the CF shows.

michelle - Yeah...Friday was hangover day. It was a former co-worker's birthday Thursday night, so a bunch of us went out to celebrate. We all drank so much they gave us a free round of shots at one point...haha! It was nice.

And I live within walking distance of the bar I went to, so as for the question of who will drive? No idea! ;-)

And you don't like Flavor Crystal 7? That's my No. 2 on EOC (behind Champagne?).

Of course! You aren't allowed to leave...didn't someone tell you?

Hey Joe,

I am a high schooler from Westchester County, NY. I started playing guitar a year and a half and have started a band with my buddy, a bassist currently looking for a singer and a drummer. As silly as it sounds, I am pretty much the best guitarist with just my knowledge of reading music and my fluid soloing skills like legato, sweeping, tapping, and string skipping. I am very shy and I wanna try to connect with the audience. Do you have any suggestions?

Also I am a totally gear freak. I own some stuff and my mom says i earned through hard work and practice. I realized that gear in guitarland is expensive and I am wondering if you went through the same thing when you were playing early on.

Sammy opened the Cabo Wabo in Lake Tahoe in 2004...he originally wanted one in Las Vegas, but that planning didn't work out.

For at least as long as that Cabo Wabo has been open, he's played shows in Lake Tahoe on Cinco de Mayo weekend. So I'm sure he has a sizeable fanbase that looks forward to shows there, but being a resort town I'm sure there are also a lot of tourists.

I'm expecting a few more die-hards and a few more drunk people, but other than that it should be a fairly "normal" show. I think if we're there early, we'll be close enough to where the experience will be just like any other show.
