Hi, My name is Skyler. One of my best friends is graduating at the end of this school year. He is graduating in a little village in Alaska called Ouzinkie. I am originally from there too. For years now his idol has be you Mr. Satriani. You inspired him so much to play the guitar and he absolutely loves your music. He tries to make his music sound like yours all the time. I have been thinking of things to do for his ceremony and I wanted to do a slideshow for him. It is just an idea I had thought about. But, if it wasn't much trouble, I could perhaps persuade you to make a short video encouraging him and congratulating him. He is possibly one of your biggest fans. I am willing to pay if it is necessary. I hope that you would consider it at the most. I appreciate the time you took to read this. Thank You

Scub I agrees

well zinc you did it again! me and the mrs got a few good laughs at those!

Blue_Moon Alan--"its not the firggin middle ages here ya mad woman!" So right, young man! It's the traditions that last for centuries! And I think it would be fun to hang out with friends around a bonfire anyways.....in the "old country".

Where's your sense of romance???????? ;-)

Guitarvibes--One day soon I will get to read what you recently posted.......let me dig out from under my the stuff on my desk! LOL!

Joe--Thanks for referring us to Doctors w/o Borders.

Webby Jon---I like this forum the way it is.....real people with real lives and real issues sharing real music!! Keepin' it REAL!

My unsolicited 2cents........ To no one in particular....... ......WE all have to be willing to take responsibilty for our OWN actions and not worry about Who we perceive is doing What.........'cause none of Us (myself very much included) R perfect in that regard.........

I really do like this place ...I have learned about and listened to so much of Joe's work because of the things that have been posted to this forum. I have been exposed to the work of other artists and expanded my musical library. I have heard many points of view that challenge me and make me think... I have felt comforted when expressing a concern I have had and have hopefully been able to offer a comfort when needed to someone else. I have laughed my _ss off at the humor........ Any way I love this place ..".Joe's place"....where we all meet & talk. And hopefully continue to.

I'm not much of a Conan O'Brien fan, but did everyone hear about his $1.5 million "Bugatti Veyron Mouse" skit last night? Here it is on YouTube (it starts at 1:30 into this clip):

Awesome!

Peas Lily, I couldn't have said it better myself. *hi 5* Nice find on the video. Seeing Joe with hair and no hat is odd. lol! I can't help to think of Gene Simmons. lol! I love Joe's bald head. lol!

MegaBoyd, how ya been? What's new with you?

Skippy, I had to google what a sea dragon was. lol! Doesn't look very dragon-like to me. They're just frilly little sea horses. lol! At the local pet store they have a tank with 3 sea horses in it. I could watch them all day. Such amazing prehistoric looking creatures. I would love to have some in a tank in my home, but I have no idea how to care for them? I actually took a decent phone pic of one about 2 weeks ago. Maybe I'll post it on twitter. Have a great time!

Don, she's wicked big, and even more wicked ugly! lol! Whatever she wants, you better give it to her! lol!

watch out, M's googling again!!

Sea horses.....wudn't those just be lil snackies fer yer fur babies? lol!! U know they would, remember E's fish!!!

webmaster :- I agree with scubadaz and Don1963. The T2J forum works fine the way it is. But that's just three of our opinions so if the majority are happy to change then so be it.

Keep up the good work regardless.

Ah yeas, E's fish - Claudio Evian Sanchez - R.I.P. She wants two more, and she wants to name them Estel & Pearl. Don't ask. lmao!

Thanks , Do The Stu, that was so kind of you to say. Truth is when I first heard " If I Could Fly" my ears" fell in love" so to speak. I had to hear more Joe and so I did. Now I am addicted....Lol ! My only regret is that it took me too long, I missed some awesome shows I could have gone to :-(

boy did i open the can of worms..lol...well i said update the site..not change it all....someone put those words in my mouth.

Thanks for clearing up some details Jon...and glad to hear some updates are on the way.

I agree with keeping the T2J the same, only due to what i see out there on the net...people like attention and like to see the reactions and like to bump them to the front of conversation. Here you can be ignored very easily...and also accidentally. ...and useful valuable posts disappear . If thats a good feature well, im kinda surprised........ Joe has billions of fans and only a handful participate here. ..but again...i agree a threaded T2J would probably create issues.but fixing the linky thing would be an appreciated gift..:)....and spell check..lol...edit, edit, edit

The photo and Video page is the best feature a band or a musicians site could have...and i think Joe deserves the best if not the better....i imagine a js guitar page that could be mindblowing....especiallly if Joe posts there...but its all about Joe and Guitars...when a site becomes someone personal blog...well thats freekin boring....you can say its worked for years...well only for a very few...but thats my opinion....ignore me as usual.

Austin- In the process of framing my Chickenfoot collection...ill post all pics when ive completed it..thanks for your interest! ..also i agree with yr clear comments on the site...well put.

Skippygirl- I bought the js-er on ebay already painted by a girl known for Js designs....here name will probably be posted after this...i can never remember it.....this guitar is an early js-100 with a mother of pearl JS inlay on the neck...ive never seen that on js-100's before....the frets were so worn , I had it refretted...clearly this was a well played and treasured axe by someone. Its also signed on the back because when joe grabbed it he thought i wouldnt want it signed on the front....now thats silly!...hahaha

I see there's going to be a tribute concert for Norton Buffalo on Jan 22 and 23 at the Fox Theater in Oakland, Cali....Steve Miller Band, Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Huey Lewis and more....

Mind Storm!

EDIT - I'm slow with my post...pretend it came after cosmic_ape's. Although I'm not sure how many people will remember that one, anyway.

Webmaster (Jon): Thanks for the heads up.

I liked everything here, since I first posted; even with some changes on this forum. Whether there are going to be changes in this forum or not, I'm cool with it.

Don1963: I like the guitar. One of my friends has a JS100 in White.

Skippygirl: Hope you're doing well. I've been running in this cold/windy weather. I put in 10 miles last Wednesday.

Punkdude75: Just to follow up, I have not ran the Chicago Marathon, as of yet. Hopefully, I will this year.

Do The Stu: It must be wet out there. We now have a Freezing Rain Advisory until morning.

as joe moves focus to his solo stuff so does the focus on the web site shift-- i suspect that when he next goes into the studio (no, no specific plans yet on that)

Did y'all notice how sneakily webby Jon snuck that in there...I think he did it that way so some of us (like me) wouldn't go crazy over the "solo stuff" and "studio" references just yet....

..............too late......

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........
