Hi, where is Jeff and Galen ! Joe doesn't talk about them.

Jeff was his drummer for 20 years... not one word of him beeing not there...

Listening to Unstoppable Momentum through headphones while I work....

Each song is so different from each other but all together, this album just feels like such a celebration of LIFE. I don't know how to say it any better than that. It's taking me through so many different emotions with each song...

I just sit here grinning ear to ear and bopping along with Three Sheets to the Wind...and then along comes I'll Put a Stone on your Cairn and I get tears every time...now A Door Into Summer and I can feel the breezy air going by....EVERY single song triggers such an emotional response in me!!!

If someone sat and watched me as I listen to the entire album, they'd think I was crazy, lol!!! But this is what I love best about Joe...honest emotions come through in his music, I feel them deep inside, and then morph them into my own feelings based on what I get from each song. No other musician affects me as he does and I'm so grateful to have found him.

Changed Track Order on New CD to go:

7-Shine on American Dreamer 8-Jumpin' In 9-Jumpin' Out 10-The Weight of the World (started at .57) 4-Three Sheets to the Wind (started at .17) 6-A Door Into Summer 1-Unstoppable Momentum 3-Lies and Truths 2-Can't Go Back 5-I'll Put A Stone on your Cairn 11-A Celebration

It's that time again....

I had a little bit of spare time thisarvo, enough to get the guitar out, and video a song while learning it, so here is my cover of

Three Sheets to the Wind which I'm thinking may just be the marmite/vegemite song on the album?

Dedicated to our favourite posh (irish) guy who likes a tipple and gets into scrapes, and for whom the song was written.

Nice one Pip!! That song just really makes me smile every time I hear it! How do you pick these things up so dang fast? And did you get my thank-you email? I never know if the thing will go through or not.

How about doing A Celebration next??

Pipster, excellent job again. Did you find my post on FB?

Al, what Cheesey said. I defo think we need footage of you on the last bus home tonight to go with Pip's video.

Cheese, totes agree about how each song makes you feel and I think the sequencing of the tracks is brilliant.

Joe, hope rehearsals are going well, I'm sure you're about to pack those cool orange pants and head off to Turkey. Safe travels.

I think the bus video would be way funnier.

Campbell - I'm catching up on posts, and so sorry for your loss. I completely sympathise with you. Try and keep your head up, lots of good people here to help. My tip, don't play track 5 from the new album

Kevvh1 - hey mate, what took you so long to get on this site lol. Welcome. New foot in the fall

Cheese, Chelle, Skip, Uncle Tom Cobley and all.... - realise I owe y'all emails. Getting there... promise. Lets say 3 days rather than 3 years :-p

JS Blackdog - so after a few more listens, what do you think?

Skip - I'm sorry about your bad news, I hope various things are keeping you on the up. There's always sweet & sour huh! Put a stone on your cairn is the guaranteed tear puller

SpaceAli - Joe uses original edge, it's his preference. You need to be careful as to which JS you are fitting an edge to as depending on the age/model the routing in the back may not allow it

Oxley11 - that hook in Lies and Truths is exactly the one I mentioned. It's just epic.

Thanks for the positive vibes on this guys. Have the album on at any opportunity, and the songs are just going in I guess

Cheese - it's a great groove, and I have a little movie in my head. Is that why you smile too? No idea how they translate quickly for me, expect Joe plays them light years differently. Celebration is definitely on the list. A fave for you already?

Hello friends!
I have been gone for so long I am literally reading the instructions on how to format a post... I should be ashamed. But, I have had my work cut out for me the past couple years; I guess you could say I've kind of "checked out" of a lot of things and places. Right now, unfortunately, I am in the middle of a divorce. Though I am happy to say we are still friends. I have a small group of military veteran buddies that I visit in a scheduled support group every Wednesday morning that really keep me hanging in there through everything.

I don't even remember the last time I posted here. As soon as I post this, I'll have to go check it out.. You guys have been in my thoughts even though I have not been here (or twitter, really).{br]

Anyway, I thought now was as good of time as any to log in here and check in seeing that the new album just came out and a new tour is at our doors (probably not in Boise, though). I have got to be honest, I have not even listened to UM all the way through yet. I CAN NOT make it past the title track. I LOVE that song!! Some day I will wear it out and will move along, I suppose, but, for now, that is really all I am listening to.

EDIT- I've been gone for 7 months. Still a long time, but I thought I was gone for 2 years!! Time... flies?

I'm listening Joe's music a lot thanks to the new album, discovering and rediscovering things at every moment. I relly like this feeling. Unstoppable momentum's deepness makes me think and sends vibrations making echo with what i feel deep in my heart. I also listened to Black swans and worhole wiz' a lot and I rediscovered it: actually this album is now one of my favorite.
