PJH - I don't know what else to say. I've used Ebay around 10-15 times and I've never had a problem with it. I've always trusted people and they've always come through for me. I see that you live in Finland. I don't remember if you mentioned this in your original post or not, but where was the guitar being shipped from? If it's coming from the US, chances are it's being shipped by boat. I bought an Aerosmith music book from a guy in England on Ebay and it took 2 months to get to me. I imagine a guitar would take longer. If you've sent this guy several emails and he hasn't responded, maybe it's because he shipped it already and he's just ignoring you. I'm sure you'll have the guitar if you wait a few more weeks. Keep me posted, though...I'd like to hear how it turns out.

JS Clone 2 - Actually, it kinda does have to do with you. JS Clone 1 said he might go to that thing with you if you were up to it. Isn't it great how he volunteers you for stuff when you're outta the country? ;-)

I just bought tickets (second row, left center) to see Arlo Guthrie in January. It should be pretty cool. He's playing at my school, in the same small venue (1200 seats) that I saw Jody Williams / Johnnie Johnson / Jimmie Vaughan / Bo Diddley last year.

xtremeshredder - Joe seems to do the G3 thing every other year. If I was going to guess, I'd say we'll see him do another G3 tour in the late summer or fall of 2003.

JS Clone 1 - I know you didn't volunteer JSC2, but it sounds more fun when I say it that way. ;-)

stu hacking - Check your email. :-) And I forgot to mention it, but if you want to hear another clip or two, just let me know.

Kda - What's that about Friends on LISF?

If you wanted to get him a cool gift, keep your eyes open on Ebay. You might be able to find an old CD single that he doesn't have, or maybe a cool keychain or tshirt. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask us here...we can help you out.

Is anyone watching the Cowboys / Eagles game? Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!! :-)

sparrow - There are only 200? Every time I hear about it I hear less and less. First I thought it was 500, then I heard 400, and now 200? Well...that just makes me want one even more.

stu hacking - I'm glad I could help. Once you get the album, let me know what you like about it...ok? :-)

JMD - I think they played together at the California Music Awards earlier this year...I bet they do at least one song together for the Bone Bash thing.

Crystal Jammer - I don't think the winners have been announced yet. I'm sure they'll email you if you win.

pater mulas - I thought the voice at the beginning of New Blues was just counting beats.

sparrow - Ok, I haven't heard that interview...probably because I don't live in the UK. ;-) That's cool about your guitar, by the way. Can you get some pictures online somehow? I wanna see it glow.

For Adun - Ahhh, I should've known that. I have the box set at home. I forgot to bring those CDs with me to college, though. Thanks for the additional information.

Hi everyone...

Clarky - So there is an "H" in music? I had no clue...LOL.

Edit: Ok, it works now...LOL. I wonder if Joe knew about the auction...maybe it isn't worth that much to him for some reason (although that would shock me).

For sparrow, and anyone else that doesn't know how to use links on Talk To Joe...

If I explain how to type everything, my examples will show up as links...and that won't help anyone. So, for my examples, I will use {}s instead of []s. When you do them on your own, use []s.

To create a link to http://www.google.com/ where the clickable text is the web address, do the following:

{link}http://www.google.com/{/link} It will look like this: http://www.google.com/

To create a link to http://www.google.com/ where the clickable text is the message "click here", do the following:

{link url="http://www.google.com/"} click here {/link} It will look like this: click here

Of course, you can substitute any web address for http://www.google.com/, and substitute any word(s) for "click here". And again, remember to use []s instead of {}s.

Does that make sense?

death cube k - Man, that is some weird music. It sounds cool but it's just really different. I really like the Gargoyles one.

canadian - Joe didn't do the Top Gun anthem, Steve Stevens did. So you might want to look around on some websites related to him.

sparrow - You're welcome. :-)

Is this my shortest post ever? LOL...

gruskada - It'd be cool if you could post other interesting stuff as you come across it.

Speaking of rock biographies, has anyone read Aerosmith's Walk This Way? It's a great book...it's written in interview format (kinda like a play), which is really cool because you can read how things happened from several different points of view. There are a lot of very sad (or funny, depending on your sense of humor) drug stories in the book. I'll stop rambling, though...I don't think there are many Aerosmith fans on T2J.

JAWS1971 - I'd look on ebay...you might get lucky. Or maybe your local music store can order the case for you.

gruskada - I'd like to read a few more music biographies. I've read Hammer Of The Gods (Led Zeppelin) and the Aerosmith one that I already mentioned. I have a biography on The Yardbirds here in my dorm but I haven't had time to start reading it yet. Out of the books that you've read, which one or two would you recommend?

If you buy the Aerosmith book, make sure you get the official one (Walk This Way, written by Aerosmith and Stephen Davis). There are a few other unofficial / unauthorized biographies out there that aren't nearly as good as the real thing.

I'd absolutely love to read a book about Joe. I mention that on this message board every now and then. But I think you're right, Joe's not really the kind of guy that most publishers are probably looking for. Oh well, it's their loss.

dragonchild - Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to check it out.
