Update on Jason Becker and an eventual DVD release...

Here

The Slims show sounds like it was amazing, and was a big success in raising funds, that's fantastic!! At the end of the article is the addy for where to donate to get the dvd done, if you're interested.

Happy belated birthday Great White, and Vito Bratta was (and is) an incredible guitarist! :-)

michelle: Did we come up with a name for kitty yet? I was thinking "Satch" today for some reason, lol, and thanks for that Mikey link..he has got to be the busiest guy behind a kit (like we were saying), and I just wish he would slow down a bit, he is burning both ends at the same time, but he nailed it on the head when he said "Life is too short not to be doing things to the fullest". Mike is the man, and this is for you (if you haven't seen it yet): YYZZZZZZzzzzzzz.... And check out the Gilbert "Green Tinted Sixties Mind" lick at the end..what a show!! \m/

....And thanks cheese for that link on the Jason Becker charity show!

Mike Portnoy ARMY for G3! Looking for a few good men & women. Are you a member like me?? Join NOW, Mike WANT'S U! :-)

Hi everyone, this is my first post here although I've been listening to Satch for a while (stole my dads old CDs cuz I didn't like pop or rap)

Great music an I enjoy it. I would like to invite you to visit Panama, Republic of Panama for a concert. Many good artist visit us recently: Santana, 311, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourn and many others. I think you and your team have a wonderfull music , and special rock style. I by with a please for a ticket to see your concert.

I've been there and done that,kayla, life are based upon 3 roads, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, each day? you make choices, and decision based upon 3 different roads, if you make a choice or a decision that is good? then you'll be heading on your way to the good road on that day.

Life is based on what you do and what are your actions are, only you can make things better or the worst in your life, but the real key? is what you do , hoping this will help you out because being on your own? is not easy, I've been there and it was a very bumpy long road.

peanuthead, just get on your bike and pedal towards the wind :-) which is always blowing towards the east. lol! Are you living on your own now? Self reliance is essential! Try it.

JOE! BIGGEST FAN!! RED ALERT!!!! COPYRIGHT (?) INFRINGEMENT!!?? Caught SNL tonight (4/23/11), but only found the song on a Letterman "youtube." Check out "Nicki Minaj's - Right Thru Me" song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgCwnBplvbY

Unbelieveable. It's: "ALWAYS WITH ME...ALWAYS WITH YOU"

In summary, I have been your most dedicated fan for 30+ years. I had to let you know, and I'll try to let you know by "snail mail," too, to your record label. "Always with me...." is on my cell phone (my fav). This chick totally copied your tune. JUST A HEAD'S UP TO YOU....from one of your most dedicated fans...(honestly and sincerely).

By the way, the concert in Boston (12/10) was the BOMB.

You are my everything...always. You have helped me through so many hard times through your music.

Hey Joe, ( Sorry, I've always wanted to say that)

So, there I was...Watching scenes from my past replay themselves in a different place and a different time only with different characters. The only constant being myself.

(Backstory) I bought your "Time Machine Album," years ago after ROCKSTOCK '98, mainly for the live disc. As such I never really listened to the first disc, but faithfully I keep all your albums on my iPod.

So, there I am...sulking in my office on the other side of the world. The bars on my chest feeling like a personal prison. Keeping me from engaging the one person that has made me feel alive in way that I thought I'd never feel agin. Simply because the symbols on her chest are different from mine. As I listen to my iPod run through its random shuffle of songs while I attempt to concentrate on getting some actual work done. I hear a song eminating from my speakers that just feels right. Like exactly what I'm feeling in that moment. I knew it was your song, but I didn't know which one. I look down at my iPod and it says, "All Alone." At that moment I knew I had to write this.

One thing I have always loved about your guitar playing is the way you can communicate without using words. This wasn't the first time this had happened.

(Flashback) A lifetime ago at another job, in another city with the same album, (disc 2 this time) a friend walks in and comments on the song playing at the time. She says,"Sounds like that guitar is crying." What song is playing? Yep, you guessed it Crying. She had never heard of you before that day.

(Flashback #2) Same city, different day. I'm driving down the expressway during rush hour at a whopping 5 mph the sun shining the T-tops off waiting for traffic to open up so I can press on the gas pedal again. Surfing with the Alien blasting through the speakers for everyone around me to hear. Getting the "thumbs up," from more that one passerby on my choice of music.

So, for every moment of comfort, every smile, every tear, every note...."Thank You."

Sincerely,

Woweewoo. Great morning on T2J. Somebody should open the blinds. The plants are starting to wilt.

Happy Keister peeps!

Happy Easter for those who fall under that category :-)
