Scoob - so the birthday celebrations went well? Have you thrashed the new pedal yet and when do we see a vid pls?
GG2 - I know nothing about guitars I'm afraid, best to ask the experts. I just went to a friendly shop and Mr Skippy bought me 2 old 2nd hand electric guitars which, thankfully (thnx Scoob, Pip and Roy) seem to be OK.
Yesterday was 35 deg (and another scorcher today for NYE) so I spent 8 hours on the guitar which is unheard of compared to my normal working week of 15 mins every couple of days, it was heaven. Except I can't for the life of me get 6/8 strumming I was tearing my hair out, my fingertips are shredded - my brain can't get the hang of it. It doesn't sound like 1, 2-3 it just sounds like the same stroke chopping wood in 4/4 time. Arrgghhhhh
roo - sounds like fun, congrats on the new everything!
Joe - Happy new year buddy!!!! A bit of blue to see the new year in?

To be honest Skippy i'd rather Joe enjoy some family time and put his feet up even though that means sitting in his studio writing his beautiful music that comes from the heart as he goes through probably what is a major turning point in his career after all he is only human but to see what he has accomplished and the Tour schedule he has achieved over the last 5 yrs has me amazed how he keeps going.
And above it all Joe does it all with a Smile so bright u can't help but be lit up :)
Let's not forget Joe slacked off for 9 yrs b4 this run of 3 tours downunder in 3 and a half yrs so he has more than made up for it so im sure he and the Foot will do the same in the future :) :) :) and plus im still hoping i get my guitar in my stocking from Sammy and the gang Sign it 4 me lol all not quite lost reindeers usually dont like to travel this far so im hoping they fed ex'd it and there pretty slack around christmas time so im allowing till 29th of march my b'day then if it aint here i will start thinking about packing my stocking away lol :)

Blue_Moon, Scubadaz and SkippyGirl--Thanks for the advice about guitars and amps. I'm still searching and will see if my teacher can accompany me to Guitar Center and Guitar Showcase.
Blue_Moon and DCK--"imagine what gg2 has" ha! ha! ha!
Alan, you know I have that work of art sewn up 4 leaf clover doll dressed up as a leprecaun! Michelle even gave me permission to name it AL! I love the round fuzzy orange nose--very Irish I guess. LOL! ;-)
You guys tend to go off on comedy shows.......par for the course!!!!! :-D

Everyone here remembers Joe's Spongebob Squarepants boxers anecdote, right? From the G3 tour with Vai and Malmsteen I think it was...hehe.
Happy New Year('s eve), everyone, and happy 59th birthday to Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton! Click here to read cool little tour diary type thing about the last few shows Aerosmith did a few weeks back (before things went crazy with Steven Tyler). The news is kind of old, but he's a great writer.

Ov corse I remembery that story, LOL!! I think that was the final thing that totally endeared me to Joe fer life, that he could tell such a story about himself and not be afraid that people would think he was "odd"....lol!!! He's got such a great sense of humor and no problems with ego that I can see!
Happy New Year peeps....gotta get through the work day today, then 3 days off, woohoo! Not sure how I feel about 2009, there were some hard things but some good things too. Mixed bag, but I guess if I'm honest, that's how every year goes.
I shall be celebrating the turning of the year by.....staying home and being quiet :) So much snow goin on around here, it's the safest choice!
Love ya Joe, I'm wishing you a Happy New Year but will temper it with lotsa hugs and back pats, as I'd guess you have very mixed emotions. Hope you spend it surrounded by love.
