Just got done watching "Made Of Tears" (from the Live 2006) for the umpteenth time . Such a powerful performance. I can never understand how some people can say that Joe has no SOUL, or Emotion in his playing .( not anyone on the forum) I don't think they ever took the time to listen......... or watch him play. I wonder why "live" clips of Psycho Monkey can't be found. Not played at the shows? I would love to see that one played live.

castle49 - oh dear, sorry to hear about the work situation. It looked like curtains for building and architectural here as well, but the Federal govt launched an infrastructure program to prop up the economy and it was for new schools mostly, and our local friends in that industry have had work non-stop on new school projects. It saved their bacon.

Hope something similar can happen for you, and provide some demand until the 'real" economy gets going again.

Lovely place Canada btw, had a fantastic 4 weeks there once, backpacking in BC and Alberta.

As already said, you can download the project

T2JSinfonie BIRDS BELIEVES

Michelle - CA and in a city where police don't come to your house over a little smoke. Santa Barbara.

Joe gave it a shot, but said he got to emotional to get through it.

My Generation/Star Spangled Banner

God Bless ya Joe, and thanks for putting that out there. I know you would have loved to finish it, but the emotions for 9/11 will always run deep, especially on the anniversaries. We love ya!

peace lily: I'm with you on that. I experienced it again today, I had my car jukebox on random again. (3000 songs) and would hear heaps of different stuff, but so many were just "music" - nice to listen to, but I couldn't "float" with it. But there are so many cool songs, ones that really take you somewhere or wrap you up or turn you inside, smack you around, etc. And for me they are diverse.

I like stuff by the beatles, muse, metallica, gorillaz, eric clapton, and so many songs from many different artists I don't know the names of. But it strikes me that there's only a few artists that seem to take me on journeys every time I listen.

G3 for 2010 - Joe Satriani, Burt Weedon and Larry Bill.

castle: hell right now i'd be happy to take %80. of course if i were in your shoes i'd probably be a little pissed. bosses never take the hit, they cut and cut and keep living large right up until the company goes under, then they walk away with whatever they could keep their hands on.

minimoog; lot a players out there who can shred and are incredibly fast. still rather have someone who plays with feeling than someone who can "shred". as for the concert experience here in the states, you do get the pushers and such at a lot of the shows. it probably is because of the intensely competitive nature of most of the population of this country! i'd love to just dissapear somewhere where the nearest person is miles and miles away!

Hey axe; just telling it like it is. you got talent so i say use it. i wish i could make a living with music but just ain't got the chops. yeah ego's suck big time, one of the worst traits of the human condition.

Turbo236- looking foreword to watching those links. Thank You. I do have (have had for a while) some issues with my Quicktime so I need to address that first.

Zenfish and the other creators of T2JSinfonie- Great work. Lots of creative energy there.

Roo-Yeah ...thats what certain songs do for me , Really love that "smack you around" analogy. *(as pertaining to what a song can do to a person)

Michelle -thanks for the link ,great example of Joe's love for humanity. Gave 'Ten Words' a listen yesterday . Parts of that song make me tear up. Alot to contemplate in that song.

Cappy Steve- G-3 LOL!!!!!! Now, I have t know who Burt Weedon is.

Peace Lily : thx a lot for all the team.

I'm currently crawdling with checking up Hot noiseless Strat set.

don1963: Quite right! Expression and song writing are everything. What good is speed if it has no soul? That's why I like Joe so much. As opposed to many of his cohorts, his melodies are memorable and full of heart-felt expression.

If eventually some here are interested by Hot Noiseless Fender pick up (Jeff Beck experience), i just got them yesterday & check them seriously during this day.

Hot Noiseless song (some very weird blues)

I've to admit that the tone of the strat wins a lot with this set. More responsive, but more delicat to use. Still have to work.
