Well I was browsing the radio last night, and tried Radio 3 as everything else was talking - can't be doing with that ;-),would never play that normally! Anyway, Mike Walker's 'In Two Minds' came on - & I thought I know this song!!! It was nearly exactly the same as 'Killer Bee Bop' from Joe's self titled album! Take a listen In Two Minds Webmaster Jon, can you let Joe know?? Apparently the song came out in 2008. EDIT: just had a quick listen to some other stuff of his & it's NoTHinG like Joe's music LOL. I'm sure it's all a coincidence.

Good morning Joe! As its 12:18 am here in Thessaloniki,Greece. Have all your cd/dvds and I wanted to ask you 2 questions. 1)Will our Paris Dvd be released on Blu RAY REGION FREE? 2)Any plans for an acoustic album?

Hope all the Mums have had a great day, I know I did. Iron Man 2 was fantastic, especially since I was treated to the luxury cinema.

Peace - sounds like a wonderful day you had.

Do The Stu - didn't Chrissie Hyne have "Hymn to Her"? I vaguely recall it.

Hi Joe,

Would love to have you come down to play in India. You have tons of fans here, dying to see and hear you live !

You're God sent !

Take care.

Can't help myself....

My lil mum at dinner tonight

and not to be forgotten, my dad :)

We had a lovely afternoon and dinner together, my mom and I watched Terminator 3, LOL....and then my dad joined us for a visit and dinner and some kitty time :)

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms, Grandmas, Aunts. Stepmoms, and all you ladies out there.

Joe: Happy Mother's Day to Rubina and too your late Mom. Prayers to y'all.

I ran the Indy-Mini last Saturday and my (unofficial time) was 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 30 seconds for the half-marathon. That's 5 and a half minutes faster than last year. I not only received a medal for finishing, I also finished in the top 500 and received an extra medal for that. I'll find out my official time & placing soon.

I also worked Mother's Day Buffet earlier today, and we had a little over 650 people coming out to eat, including my folks. Glad that's another holiday buffet (out of the way).

Cheese101: Great pics.

BTW, I've listened to Super Colossal (a number of times), and enjoyed every song on there, especially Crowd Chant. That was probably a motivational song for me before that Indy-Mini run. Next up: Satriani Live.

Best to you all.

Joe.

Come back to New Zealand!!!!!!

Glitzman- Congrats on your time. You had a very busy weekend with your running and restaurant work.

Don- I enjoyed your Mothers Day poem, thank you for sharing.

cheese- Thanx for sharing the photos of your folks. Looks like your Mom & Dad were having a great time . :-)

Skippy- I remember when I used to get vouchers from my kids but my kids are all about grown.... .goes by too fast.

Glitz Man - Nice job on the half marathon. 13 miles is a loooooooong ways! lol.

I have always been a big fan of super colossal. There is some great work there. I think you'll really enjoy Live 2006. The version of Circles on this one is my favorite version ever.

Hey everybody!! Haven't posted in about a week or so. I saw Iron Man 2 on Friday and it was pretty good. Wasn't as good as the first one (in my opinion), but I'm not going to say why. I'm not a spoiler. lol But that doesn't mean it was bad by any means. The special effects were as good as flawless as always. After I saw the movie with my uncle, we went to a bar and they had an Internet Jukebox. Of course I had to look for Joe and they had MOST of his songs. They were missing about maybe 10. But I played the Live version of Big Bad Moon. It was only one dollar which was very worth it. I wanted to play Summer Song also, but more people started coming in and it got too loud. I could barely hear the music after around 11:30.

DESPERATELY waiting for a release date on the Ice 9 pedal. If somebody knows please tell the world.

I'm catching up on weekend stuff...

I agree on Australia, but "on yer swing through Europe!"...? What kind of twisted Satch geography is that? ;-)

Yeah, that's been a problem going back a few years now. I think it'd be really interesting for the US to cut all ties internationally for a few years...pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan and stop going to Asia for cheap labor/manufacturing. Prices would go up initially, but soon EVERYONE in the US would have a job. I don't think that's a healthy long-term solution, but I think it's always good to shake things up every now and then.

I haven't had one since...last month, maybe? Haha...

Pori Finland 2000 - wasn't that where Joe had a guitar shaped birthday cake from Jussi? :-) Good times man, good times!

Ahh yeah - there it is! Love the archives on this site! lol! Great memories! Totally forgot about the book of greetings :-)

Chadley, thanks for the Mum's day wishes. Glad you had a great time with Lhadly!

Wow. What a crazy day in Oklahoma today. We had between 26 and 30 tornadoes between 4 and 7:30. They just kept popping up everywhere!

Its my birthday wooo and i got the chickenfoot get yo buzz on dvd! stoked!

Hi,

I've been playing guitar for some time, focusing on the satch songs, but one thing always annoys me - backing tracks. As you possibly know, Steve Vai released Naked tracks album - the backing tracks of all his famous songs.

Joe, do you plan to do something like this for us, community of amateur guitar players ? :) I know there are some backtracks, but its quality is quite miserable. (rubina (live), if i could fly, ...)

In fact, I would be enormous grateful for a project like that.
