Morning all

This should be Surfing with the Alien From Saturday night, nice and close

Hi PIp! can't wait to see Surfin again - at work now so will catch up at home tonight ;-)

Another great review here ...As the show progressed, it dawned on me that Satriani, amongst all of the technical prowess that he is known for, has the ability to inject emotion into his music. There is far more than random noodling occurring here, this guy is not just rattling off scale after scale at warp factor 10, as some see it.

It's only just dawned on him that Joe has emotion?? That aside - it's a great review!

Oddly enough, it's supposed to be 73 degrees here in PA today. :-)

almost forgot - Brian, hope yer feeling better soon!

I know I forgot a bunch of stuff this week, so if yer sick- get well, if yer down- get up, if you did something spectacular- congrats, if yer driving and texting - you'd feel really stupid if you hurt or killed someone over an OMG text - STOP IT, if you just got a hair cut - you look amazing, lost/gained 2 lbs - life goes on, just saw the best band and Mr Joe Satriani - hi 5!!

Well, that covers a bit...

Now let's all have an almazing day!

Hey Joe - Here are 3 news articles about my site that just came out in the past 24 hours that reference Chickenfoot (80 Rare and Unreleased songs from VH and "The Van Halen Circle" including Chickenfoot, Sammy Hagar, etc.)

As you know there are 2 of these videos at the Chickenfoot Fan Videos page - 1 of the 3 featured is my "Down The Drain" vid and one of the most recent added is my "Going Down" vid from the first Chickenfoot appearance, before album production. "Mr. Fantasy" I may also put a vid together for. Here's my 'Foot page http://ChrisGossett.com/CHICKENFOOT.htm .

Neil Zlozower has given me written permission to use his Van Halen photos. I need to ask his *(or yours? (:}) ?) permission to use the Chickenfoot photos.

So I write you to let you know of the extra exposure I think you'll get out of it, I also write to ask permission to use photos of the Foot...

Oh, don't forget my concept to think about; my suggestions for your next Foot album and the first video.... Call it "Spontaneous", or "Spontaneous Organization", or "Spontaneous Organi-mation" or "Spontaneous Animation". See, "Down The Drain" is the coolest, spontaneous production I've heard and the story behind it INSPIRES this concept. I think the band should make a video looking like they are holograms, coming SPONTANEOUSLY out of a "future age" disc player. The band spontaneously (seemingly in the video) comes up with this grand bombast, while their images look like they are coming out of the ether above this "cd player of the future", casting images, not unlike that of the one R2 presented of Princess Leia.

God Bless You, God Blesses You now, and sheesh God BLESSED YOU !!!

Take It Easy!

Michelle---The Happy Meal at McDonalds?! You've gotta be kiddin'......Gotta hear it from Al. He knows the geography of the land and where the best to get a bite to eat.....

Al--If you aren't the Prince of Ireland, then you must at least be the Prince of Dublin! ok.....I'll give Solitude another listen and also Enya's beautiful music. Hang on, Joe's Littleworth Lane is real nice and Two Sides To Every Story is so amazing and relevant. ok.....it's time for YOUR side of the story--The Prince of Dublin story or your ideas about the best Irish food. Please.

Al--That's lovely, soulful guitar playin'.....Solitude. Thanks for that.

GoGi2, Al eats more Chinese food than the Chinese do. I'm sure when you go to visit him, he'll cook you a nice meal. He brags about his cooking quite often. He's a real man's man...I mean ladies man.. So um...yeah.
