It was hell trying to get my cd!!! haha.. called the best buy here in town they didnt have it.. So called the one in spokane and he said they had it but he had to go dig it out, so 10 mins later he got it (I was on hold on the phone) he said he got it, went to the store to get it and he asked what i was there for and I said Joe Satriani, hadnt even gotten into the title he was like ooohhh yeah its you... I would never be able to pronounce that name, so i sat there for 5 mins telling him all about Joe! lol

Monday and Tuesday were very full days--Library work, errands and shopping for food. Tuesday--Meet up with my sister, her hubby and niece and nephew at US army, navy, marines, air force, coast guard, etc. field building where my nephew signed up to commit himself to the navy after he graduates from high school in about 9 months. My nephew is goin' into the US Navy......What a big decision! But then he doesn't want to be stuck in the sleepy city of Merced, California. He wants to lend himself to the Navy so he can get a college/University education and travel....maybe go to a University outside the US and learn how the rest of the world works! I'm proud of him making such a commitment. I thought about it when I was 20 and never did. His 7-year-old sister says, "My brother is almost a grownup." I'll miss him when he goes away." Then she goes back to her fairy tale book and the present. Wish I could be as care-free as my niece. Sigh!

A. McKenna--Thank you for the kitten getting a free ride on a tortoise vid. The turtle-oise seemed to suspect he/she had put on weight rather abruptly. Awwwwwww........so cute and innocent. I needs to see more of those kind of vids. I love the kitties......they are soooo sweetie! The tortoise is an interesting animal.....especially the American desert tortoise with his handsome armour, like a tank! So many interesting animals and bugs on earth. My favorite bug is the ant lion--a larvae creature who digs a funnel shaped pit to trap ants.

Joseph--I am humbled by your huge musical creativity. Yesterday afternoon BSAWW CD arrived at my doorstep in the middle of insanity in our back yard that had Steve angry at our neighbor/his tree trimmers and me in tears! Why do people assume they have permission to land/walk around (with garden tools and ladders no less) in our backyard BEFORE knocking at our front door and obtaining our permission!? Shite! Where was I? That was yesterday! Anyway, we listened to the CD last night and Steve wondered if we were going to hear/see all of the songs performed in Oakland on January 13, 2011. I told him we are. He really likes Pyrrhic Victoria and so do I along with every other song. Solitude is a sweet solo. I love Littleworth Lane and the way it translated memories--beautiful! Wow! Golden Room and TSTES are so amazing and different sound statements. I love the jazz as well as rock n roll. God is Crying is a way of reaching out and grabbing me and saying......"Just Listen and you will understand."

All of those in Napa--Have fun and enjoy time with Joe!

Pippy, have you seen that woman's pawahs? Massive I tells ya! She even has cack pawah! Ask her about it sometime! lol! Really sorry things didn't work out. Sending all my good vibes to ya tonight.

Good times with GS!

I don't know which way to get the new CD...thru Itunes or napster or what?

I want to get the extra songs (bonus songs) but I don't know which way to go...can someone help me?

Wooleyman- Are you talking about this?

Pretty cool!!

hello to all of Satch World!

Just wanted to say that i've bought the album here in the UK today and it's truly, unbelievably amazing - for me it takes everything I love from my favourite previous Satch albums and mixes them all together into one spectacular record.

It might not top Super Colossal (which is my current favourite) though it's getting mighty close already, and it's only day 1 of listening!

I'm in the process of recording my own instrumental rock album (heavily Satch influenced I should add - but not too much obviously) and am seriously considering using one of the songs on the new album as a cover song for the live show! I'd love to hear people's suggestions as to which one they recon would convey best live - though i'm by no means saying it would compare to the man himself - this would just be my way paying homage :)

Glad to know that there's alot of happy rock fans out there listening to this album too - keep it going!

Salut Joe, from Paris, France! Merci beaucoup, Thanks a bunch for this Reeeaaalllyy great album!! It teaches us guys a real lesson in music evolution. How to keep it real, fresh, incredibily groovy, rock and smooth. I just got the album and I can't tell you how many times I've listened to it already! The music you make, I like, not doubt about it, and it's been 25 years. As I told you once in 1995: "your music is the sound of my life". No kiddin'(just a little) but today, I can die happy, and undesappointed, the new Joe's out and it's reeal gooooooood!!!!! The significance of the expression : Pyrrhic Victoria, really makes sense to some people on this planet!

Hey Joe you are an amazing musician and your music is authentic and inspirational. It's a real treat to share with my musician son who has inspired me over the years to be the best musician I can be.

Tracie, Chris & Mahavishnu Brian just saw Joe roll up to the venue with the top down and a big smile on his face. They even helped him park his car. lmao! They had a quick convo, hugs & pics, then Joe took off for sound check. Now they're getting to hear all that too :-)

Fun night in Napa!

Luckyfux!!

Love the new album. I was just bummed when I received it on the 1st that the 2 bonus tracks were missing, forcing me to go get a 2nd copy at best buy today with the bonus tracks. I will have to say that I am glad I did. These are 2 of my favorite tracks on the album (wormhole wizards being my hands down favorite.)

Hi :D!! I'm new on the site and hope to stay active on this site! I've been only a fan of Satriani for like half a year.... but i love all his work! you guys are 10x better fans then me lol

check out my youtube! www.youtube.com/YanmingYuMusic

one of my songs(desert storm) was inspired completely by Joe!

Al, T got a pic of the setlist, but Austin wants me to tell you that the gig opens with Summer Song, followed by Summer Song, which goes i to Summer Song...etc...and the encore is...Summer Song ;-) They'll send you a copy of that setlist for your wall. lol!

Just talked to T & Chris. They're all having an amazing night! Coolies!

Aloha Joe,

I really like your new album and I can't wait to see you in December at Strathmore! Great Job!

One of my favorite songs is from Time Machine. That song is "Speed of Light". Any thoughts about playing that live and tying it in with "Light Years Away"? Just a thought....

Also, is it an evening with you and your bandmates or will you have an opening act this tour?

Thank you for creating "strange beautiful music".

Mehalo,

Joe,

Every album released I think " Maybe you'll come back to Milwaukee this time "....so far again we are not listed on the tour dates. If my memory is correct the last time you played Milwaukee in support of your own solo album was back in 2004 at the Pabst Theater a full 6 years ago. Please take the short trip from Chicago and visit us once again. Seriously, tell your management that you need to come and play Milwaukee and we want you here! I know there are others out there in Milwaukee who would love to have you back!

The new record is good..... love the catchy tunes.
