Now I know how I ended up with 400 photos. I looked like a tourist taking photos of everything!

Oh wait... I AM a tourist...

HI Joe,

Paul Baker here.

I'd love to say hi. I have a large creative project on the table at a LA film production co and could use some mentoring from my old (20years ouch) friend/sensi.

I've been at Pixar for 9 years, have to show you this place, playing music the whole way sense I last saw you. Some exciting music/ideas. Still thinking very big!!

Congrats on Chickenfoot and your amazing career,

peace,

paul baker

Hi Joe,

I'm new to your site. I have been listening to your music off and on for 17 years. I'm not a musician, just a fan. Your work is absolutely brilliant!!! I first learned of your music from my high school boyfriend (he played guitar) and it was the only positive thing I got out of that relationship. I think The Extremist was the first album I owned. I had it on cassette tape so I guess I'm old now. We parted ways long ago but I still listen to your music. At least my love for your music has lasted. Though I love most of your songs, my favorite is definitely Circles.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but I'm wondering if there is somewhere I could register to receive email notifications of upcoming tour dates. I live in the Boston Massachusetts area. I have always wanted to see you perform live but I always seem to find out about the shows after the fact. It was just yesterday that I read that you had visited Boston in August. The worst part was learning that I had attended another show at the same venue that same week. If only I had known. I would have loved to see that show.

Anyway, I know you're a busy man, so I won't be offended if you don't reply but it would be great to hear from you. BTW, I love Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock album. You never fail to amaze me with your extraordinary talent.

Sunshine Lady-- when you registered at this site you should of been prompted whether you wanted notifications of upcoming events and things like that.

You can also click on the "Road" tab.

mikesb:The concert in Uzbekistan with Sogdiana was a wake up call in so many ways.The music there is obviously completely different to the West, but the passion with which a musician plays is paramount like flamenco fire, hence the applause on the vid.These people understand what is giving yourself in total

Gavin was in the states last year but he didn't know I was in NY and I missed him.

Back living in good old Atlanta now. Just checking in and reading up on the posts. GREAT to see these old Roy/Sogdiana videos again all in one place.

Lovely stuff

Sorry guys, I know several of you have continued to post good thoughts, wishes and prayers for my family, and I so do appreciate every single one of them. I've read them all, but my brain just isn't computing at the moment to remember who all to acknowledge, but please know every message was read and greatly appreciated.

We were hoping my dad could buy some extra time in terms of getting over his pneumonia as much as possible before surgery. Dr. came in this evening to examine him and found that his inner workings have stopped working...again. This will force him to surgery sooner than we wanted, likely tomorrow afternoon. We wanted to give his lungs as many days as possible to get healthier, but it just may not happen that way. He hasn't had any food since last Saturday and is becoming weaker and weaker. On the positive side, his kidneys are once again functioning, and his lungs did sound better today than yesterday. But there are many risks to this surgery, lots of things stacked against him.

My friend is driving over and bringing Chris home for me tomorrow so I don't have to leave the hospital. He needs and wants to be here with his grampa before surgery.

He picks that close to the bridge of his nose anyway - right up there! lol

Roy - I had to do that also!

Been thinking about what we last talked about. Will call you soon.

Taking Lewis (eldest son) to Key West this weekend for his 16th.
