I have not posted much lately...although I read the posts daily. Had alot going on...... I wanted to post an update on my father because several peeps have offered up prayers and good vibes for him . He did have to have the surgery to amputate his arm . He held out as long as he could but yesterday (Friday) he had his surgery . He came thru surgery with no complications and is doing well in the hospital and if all continues good will get out this next Friday. He is trying to stay positive about learning to live with one arm. He is my Hero...I would hope I could meet adversity with as much determination and bravery as he has shown.

& yes ....as always when I need to refresh my spirit ..I listen to lots of Joe, it never fails to improve my outlook.

:-)

P. Lily, so sorry about yer dad's arm. It sucks, but hopefully he'll do well with P.T. and start feeling better physically. He's one hell of a fighter! Sending good vibes your way.

Here's a good fight song for when yer thinking about yer dad. I have it for my pop's ringtone on my phone TIME.

Nice way to start the day!

I just found out that this guy from The Office, is actually this guy (second from left) from The Grass Roots! lol! No shit!

@whammyfreak-I haven't gotten into Eric johnson's music just yet. After I found out about Joe, I listened to almost his entire discography in almost a year and a half. Then last year when I was waiting for Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards, I started listening to Vai. Then months later I started getting into Buckethead. And within the past month or two I've been listening to Paul Gilbert's music. I'll put Johnson next and then probably Petrucci if he comes out with more solo stuff.

We have Ah, Via Musicom, Venus Isle, Alien Love Child, & Bloom. I always liked this tune - Last House on the Block. If you go to Youtube & put in Eric Johnson & the album title, it will prolly come up with at least a few cuts from the albums. That way you can hear a bit before you buy them. I've prolly listened to Venus Isle the most. It's all good tho!

Earlier today my hubs called T-Mobile to see about a bogus $9.99 charge on my daughters cell number. He got that taken off, and asked when his phone can be renewed. The answer was not for another month. That was THEE extent of the convo. What happens next you ask?? He gets an email a few hours later telling him that a phone is being shipped to replace our daughters other one. WTF?? lol! Why is it that most customer service needs effin customer service!! lol! He called back again, and a different woman tells him that it says on her computer that a new phone was being shipped because our daughter's phone had screen malfunctions. At no time was anything even remotely close to that said in his first convo. People be trippin'!! lol!

Oxley - Good to me, Pavilion, Paladin, Venus isl, Emerald Eyes, Trail of Tears, Bristol shore, High Landrons, Desert Rose, Righteous, Lonely in the Night, Song for Lynette, When the sun meets the sky.

And if you are ever in the mood i feel like Bloom has got to be one of his best albums when listened cover to cover, just flows really nice the whole way.

Those just a few of my favs.

Hi Joe,

My name is Alexander and I am from Costa Rica, I am admirer of your good music. In fact, when I was 12 years old the first album that I had heard from you, it was flying in a blue dream thanks to my older brother which had it in his personal music collection since 1989. It is that reason that one of my favorite songs is flying in blue dream, as same as are: Clouds race across the sky and If I could fly, these three songs for my they are like the continuing melodies about one story that I made, inspired in any way in these songs. My story is called: "Come, fly with me" yeah!!! like Sinatra's song. Someday my story will touch the heart of someone else and it will be the beginning of my dream come true. I like to share with you the poems that I had written for this story, I hope they can be read for you like lyrics of melodies that someone will compose, and why not someone like you, it would a priviledge for this modest man who admires your blessing talent.

1. For a lasting friendship

If the loneliness is just confusion A good friendship makes easy a solution Forget about any hardship Cheers for the good friendship A good friendship is for a bloomy future That everybody joyfully wants to share It is the most precious of all treasures That everyone trustfully wants to take care

For a lasting friendship For a lasting fellowship Its heavenly warranty Covers us to you and me

A good friendship is like a good teamwork Let’s create together a remarkable artwork Its footprint forever will touch our gentle hearts It is the inspiration for all life’s brave hearts

Let’s seize on today Like a unique day Let’s celebrate tonight Like an unforgettable night

For a lasting friendship For a lasting fellowship Its fraternal warranty Covers us to you and me.

2. Stop wars (R.I.P)

Ashes to ashes Dust to Dust End of all cruelty and wars Now more than ever It’s about evolution For a peaceful solution

A white congregation Women release roses and butterflies Men unfurl handkerchiefs All together for encouraging winds And sweet dreams

Stop wars, rest in peace No more victims or regrets No more in their solitary graves No more, here and there No more, anywhere

We have decided to dismantle Its useless camouflage We have decided to abolish Its useless selfishness We have decided to pacify Its useless violence With conscience and patience

Stop wars, rest in peace No more warlike behaviors No more for our human neighbors No more, here and there No more, anywhere

Stop wars, rest in peace ‘Cuz freedom is our divine right Forever beating its inside light

3. Colors of Freedom

Across the world Freedom is like a rainbow Although the time Changes the seasons Keep always alive Your good reasons

We know the best Are in our active hands Pour some human sense For the harmony Of our Beautiful Family For the conservation Of our Mother Nature

We are all the tomorrow’s people Everybody joyfully sings To be free Like this song is for you and me

We are all the tomorrow’s people Everyone trustfully lives For freedom’s wings For someday touchin' the sky Like my wife and the butterfly Like the eagle and I

We are colors of freedom We are One.

Cheers, Alex. You'll always be the best guitar man that I had never heard. God bless you, Joe.

Michael Shrieve

Hello Everybody!

Hope everyone is well. Work is coming along fine; been doing my usual running (speed workouts, races, etc.) I'm planning on two marathons this fall, one of them in Michigan. I've also been doing some more karaoke. I try to be eclectic as much as I can. Doing 80's, country, alternative, rock, pop, hip-hop, rap, etc. I'm in the finals for one karaoke contest on Aug. 23rd. Might be doing another one this upcoming Saturday.

Kayla, congrats to ya.

Ibanezplyr: Sorry to hear of your brother's passing. I do pray and hope you have a safe birthday.

To Everyone: Hi and hope you all are doing well. Looking forward to the new Chickenfoot album.

Joe, all the best for you, Sammy, Michael, Chad, and to all of the crew.

Chat with ya later.
