Hey, Joe!!! I've been a big fan since i was a teenager. I just wanted to say thank you for all the great music and the insperation that you've brought to my realm. You and Steve are AWESOME!! You ought to come to Indianapolis sometime man. I heard a while back that Indianpolis used to be on your tour list. Oh, well LOL! Guess i'll have to truck it to Chicago. NE ways thank you once again. You are an outstanding musician. Do you ever check out youtube.com?? There are some amazing musicians on there as well. One I guess is well known in Brazil his name is Gustavo Guerra. You should check out his videos. Just look up his member name on the site its GGuerra. He covers a couple of your songs very well and has an original on there that is AMAZING!! Another kid is Cesar Huesca. He also does a couple of yours and Steve's songs. He does an awesome job on Cryin' and Windows to the Soul. His user name is CesarHuesca. YouTube fans are awwed by their talent. NEways once again thank you. You've inspried so many. But, no matter how good a cover no one will ever be Joe or Steve for that matter. Well fall is on its way. It's gettin time to crawl in my hole listen to the rain fall and PRACTICE!!! Later, Joe. Give me an email sometime or something LOL. It would mean the world to hear from ya.

Hey, Joe! I'm coming to see ya in Chicago on April 5th. Coming all the way from Indianapolis, IN cuz you never come here :( Anyways, this time I said screw it. I'm making the drive and I'm gonna see ya for the first time. I can't wait till your pedal comes out. I would like to know what you think about Ibanez's new ZR trem. I just got a new S470DXQM blue. It's gorgeous but I think I will need to replace the pups. Can't wait to hear your new material. I really enjoy listening to your music. The melodies get stuck in my head and I go around singing guitar licks all day. People at work prolly think I'm a little bit crazy.....singing guitar lol. I'm looking forward to seeing Paul, too. He's awesome. Anyways, keep us rocking man.

Joe,

Awesome show on Saturday in Chicago. I almost didn't think I was gonna make it up there. I drove up from Indianapolis and I am so glad I did. The weather was just awesome. I gotta chance to try some of Chicago's famous pizza while we were waiting in line. That was cool of them guys to come down there and feed us and keep us going till the doors opened. During the clinic, I never got a chance to ask my questions. SO, I'll ask now. HOW DO FEEL ABOUT IBANEZ'S PROGRESS IN THE GUITAR INDUSTRY? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THEIR NEW ZR TREM? WILL YOU EVER USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF TREM OTHER THAN THE EDGE PRO? AND WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS BETWEEN A STRAIGHT HEADSTOCK AND AN ANGLED ONE. Anyways, I didn't stick around for the signings. There was just too many people and my girfriend kept wining that it was too freakin hot in there. Yeah, next time she's not going. I did pick up the new album while I was there and its just great. You really can mix the old with the new. It's like new age alternative hard rock mixed with classic rock. I love it. It's growing on me so quick. My favs are Overdriver and Andalusia. Thanks, Joe!! COme to Indianapolis dude.
