Joe - a very cool bit of footage of you guys doing Future, but the opening with your Mum is really sweet too. Ha, your face when Sam says he wants to marry your mum... priceless

Future in the Past

Do The Stu - the kids and I love Collective Soul's Tremble for My Beloved at the moment, we belt it out at top volume in the car on the way home from school etc...we are still debating if they sing "love" or "beloved" in the actual song, though, lol.

You can pick the theme across my last few posts right?

JOE; I have to say it again, thank you soooooooooo much for the meet & greet, we will never forget it!

Keniko: roflmao

Keniko, I wouldn't castrate you for a joke. lol! Not that joke anyway. lol! Thanks for the bday wishes. Guess that means I get to celebrate...again! Woo-ha! Dude, we had so much fun in AC. There were moments of that trip that were just so priceless. Of course, since we're all not in the same great shape as Joe, our asses are busted this week. lol! We's to' up from lack of sleep, traveling, and getting back to reality. They got to see MY ocean in all it's "there's a hurricane out there somewhere named Bill" glory too. I saw the Chi-town vids. These guys are having the time of their lives!

Fav cd - JS95. Least fav??? Maybe Dreaming #11???

Don, if I kept track of all the JD I drank back in the day, I prolly could have wallpapered a wall with all the labels. lol! Never had Cabo yet. To much cabbage for a bottle of booze. I think I'll put it on my Christmas list and give that list to my in-laws. lol!

Al says it's all about Down, Down, Down today.

Today is me mum's 76th birthday! She kids and says she's starting to get a little worried. lol! Poor bird has been joking every birthday will be her last since she's 48 years old because that's the age her mum died. lol! She's out getting her 76 year old buzz on having a few birthday cocktails with my pop. I dedicate this song to her - TIME Happy birthday Mummy!

edit: in all fairness, I have to say that it's also my cat Sully's 4th birthday too. lol! He'll get a little nip later :-)

Since some of us are talking about our fave Satch albums and songs,here's my two cents worth. Favourite album...ALL of them! I cannot for the life of me choose a favourite coz they are all so unique.There is not one track on any of them that I DON'T like,although I DO have favourite tracks off each album,my all time favourite being Always With Me ,Always With You, as that was the first Satch tune I ever heard way back on 22nd July,1988.Why do I remember the exact date,you ask? Well,that's the day my daughter was born and that tune just resonated in me.My next favourite is Ten Words and I don't think any explanation is needed for that.After that is S.M.F. I asked Joe when I met him in Sydney last year what SMF stood for.His reply was exactly what I thought it meant. Does anybody else know? Anyhow,that's it for now, although I'm looking forward to getting down to Ozzy_Fudds and firin' up the jigsaw.WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!Drinks all 'round!!! Cheers people!!

One of my all time FAVORITE Satch tunes - Slow Down Blues That song effin rocks! If I ever fall into a coma, I'm sure this song would bring me out of it!

I've also learned that this is not a good song for me to drive to. lmao!

CRANK IT!!

The red album is VERY underrated, it's an insanely good album, the problem is that in the context of Joe's discography it sticks out as much as EOC. Most every other Joe album leans towards rock, while those 2 are way out there. Cool # 9 has certainly been played to death, but the studio version sounds very different (and cool), so I still get a kick out of hearing it. And the rest of the album is just perfect (even Killer BeBop, which I've seen some negative comments about it here, in the past).

I'll go out on a limb and say that the red album is not my favorite Satch album (SWTA is still #1 for me), but it is the best blues album I've ever heard.

Crystal Planet is the first album I bought , and listed to all the way thru. Honestly I can't tell you my favorite song because I love too many of them. Different songs transport my mind to different places and emotions. Crystal Planet is the one that first hooked me.

scubadaz fatape thanks for the advice ill definitely take it into consideration.

Got this DVD for my birthday RHCP @ Slane Castle

WOWEEWOOWOO!!

I can't wait to have the house by myself so I can crank it up and thrash around :-)

Mystical Robot :- Another good bit of advice,even though it sounds cliche, is to play what you feel.By that I mean let your emotions govern your notes,so if you're feeling angry, for example, "play" how your feeling. Same if you're sad,happy ,excited,blue or whatever other emotion you're experiencing.Try playing a "colour' as well.For example,how would the colour orange "sound' to you.Try play something that conjures that up for you.Pick any colour you like.Find its "sound".Same goes for the elements around you; earth,water, sunlight,fire,rain,the sound of the wind through the trees,etc. It's the perfect way to find your own voice on the guitar. Anyhow,the fridge is full of beer(Guinness for those who indulge) and the bar is stocked with several bottles of Jack Daniels.Drink up everybody.Cheers!!!!!!!!

Blue_Moon :- G,day Al. I was just listening to a mix of Eddie Money songs I put together from his discography,and I couldn't help but notice a striking resemblance between the young Eddie Money from the 70's and your good self.And seeing how he has an Irish heritage I was just wondering if there's some sort of connection?
