Hi Joe. I have been a devout "Satch" fan since Expo '92. Which was the first time I'd ever heard of you. The night was jaw-dropping (except Nuno - very dissapointed with only one song, and Brian May (brilliant guitarist) seemed rather out-classed (for want of better terminology) by Yourself, Steve and Nuno. No offense to the guy! You instantly inspired me to practice guitar 10 times more than I did. Thankyou.

Every song you've done is above reproach. Utterly amazing. I do have one question... Did you ever do a song called "Formula 1"? My mate brought a tape round and said the song was one of yours. Sounds like one of yours too. I wouldn't normally care whom did the song, but the copy is incomplete and there's at least 30 seconds missing from the end. It is one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. I also heard it was a partnership with Steve Vai. I don't know how accurate the info is but, please tell me it's yours.

I await impatiently for "SUPER COLOSSAL" to hit the Birmingham shops. It'll look wicked with my other 15 albums.

Many thanks and eternal gratitude.

Hey Joe, Really looking forward to the Birmingham Symphony Hall gig. If it's even one tenth as good as when I last saw you, I'd best take a change of pants. lol. I know there are a lot of incredible guitarists out there, especially those that seek your approval, but I was wondering if you'd ever heard of a guy called Darren Hurst? You can really hear the Satch influence in his songs. My Dad saw him play a gig and immediately bought me a CD from him. He has a website: http://www.myspace.com/darrenhurst I know you won't be dissapointed if you visit. Sorry for the blatant plug. I've never met the bloke personally so it's not like I'm being slimy!
