Just catching up on all the posts I've missed the past few days, phew, can't afford to not come on here for a couple of days, my eyes are boggling now.

XROB - Perhaps it will be Big Bad Moon, or Big Bad Baboon, do we all have our song sheets ready.

I want a JS shirt too.

England 3 Denmark 0 Wow they never cease to amaze us.

Phrygian Dominant - Were you on line at the end of the game or are you the fastest logger on in the west.

Naty - I work for local government, not very exciting really, the people I work with are fun though and yes I agree totally that humour in life is a must, without laughing there is no point. I used to work for an insurance company, very stressful, but the people I worked with were a great bunch of clowns which helped enormously. I wish life was just like an Austin Powers movie or Monty Python.

Phyrigian Dominant - you must have pots of money if you can stay on line during the game.

Anibur where are you, have you fallen off the planet.

Webmaster, I agree with some of the others, can we have the lastest post at the front, bit confused at the moment.

Happy belated dad's day to all the dads on line.

Natalina - I'm answering the food question now, If I had to think of Joe as food he would be CHOCOLATE of course, moreish, very tasty no matter what time of day, it's great eaten quick, slow, melted, straight from the fridge in fact any way you like really and is as versatile as Joe's fab music and you never get tired of it. Is that enough. ha ha

JOE - we love the blue stuff. Counting the days till we see you next month.

Person playing live - sorry can't remember your name, too many posts, anyway, to prevent nerves playing live I was told once to imagine the audience naked, works every time. ha ha. You must have heard this one.

Anibur - what new job have you got, it has to be more exciting than mine.

Hi everybody here is a Joke,

David Beckham was jogging down the beach as he thought the sea water would help his foot, as he was running he kicked a bottle, he picked up the bottle and opened it, a Jeanie popped out and thanked David for releasing him from the bottle. The Jeanie said now you have released me you can have one wish. David thought and said that as he had a sore foot and was to play in the world cup could the Jeanie do something to help his foot. The Jeanie said that he wasn't allowed to interfere with anything to do with the body. David said OK and then asked the Jeanie if he could do anything about his wife's failing singing career. "Let's have a look at that foot again" the Jeanie said. ha ha

Loads of post, my eyes my eyes.

Naty - do you love your cats as much as I love my dogs.

Shell - It was me with the naked audience bit, NJ Beast try it and see if it works I'm sure it will help. Once you get your first track out of the way nerves should be dropping.

Austin - I don't know how old the joke was, it was one of the rare clean jokes my husband told me.

Have you heard this one.

A lady goes to the doctors with skin off her knees, the man next to her says" how did you do that", the lady says "doggy fashion" the man said "you'll have to do it normal style now. "Yes" she says "But the dog's breath stinks" ha ha

ENGLAND PLAYING TOMORROW AND MICHAEL OWEN IS FIT. COME ON ENGLAND.

Just checked with Amazon UK, my SBM wont be posted out until tomorrow.

Webmaster, why do we have to stay on line to turn all the pages. This is slow and eats my money.

Afternoon everyone everywhere, just come back from hols in Skiathos, it was hot hot hot, that sun doesn't half burn ya. Airport landing was a bit of a hair raiser, short runway so it was slam on the brakes and hang on. Amazon posted my SBM album on the day we set off so no SBM till we got back. Got home to find my dad had opened it and had a listen. Great album Joe, another corker. Hope you play some of this in London and Brummie land next week. Haven't read all the messages, there are just toooo many. I must try and keep up these days. Andy left his guitar strings slack while we were away, tried to tune up this weekend and broke one of the strings. JOE, hope you are bringing some t shirts with you, I want one.

Stay happy Satch fans.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE LOTS OF LOVE FROM Sharon,Andy(who's 44 today) Matt & Adam

Hope you got some good pressies.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anibur, Anyone London way, whereabouts is Shepherd's Bush Empire. We obviously know it is in Shepherd's Bush but where exactly.

Anibur, thanks for that, do you know what the name of the road is that the Empire is on and what's this about a tube strike. Andy worked in London some time ago so I am hoping he can remember where he is going. We've got all day to find it, we're having a day out.

Since coming back off hols have listened to SBM loads now and I think my favourite tracks are Starry Night, Chords of Life and The Traveller. I do hope Joe does a DVD of the tour, we must have more musn't we.

For Andy's birthday today he has had a pedal thing and an electric tuner thingy too, he's upstairs right now twanging away. Keeps him out of my hair for a bit, I can have the tele all to myself.

Austin - that Satch luck for my dog is still rolling, he was given Reserve Best In Show on Saturday. It's all still spooky stuff. His photo is going in the doggy press. Aaaaah. It was a very hot day too and I have burn't my neck.

Anyways

LOL everybody - Sharon

Oh my oh my, Joe tomorrow, I just can't cope. The Local Person, just wear big shoes and talk with a deep voice. No one will notice, failing that you could pretend to be my son. I'll tell them you're 18.

Shell, Anibur, everyone else who's excited for tomorrow, look forward to seeing you all there. I'm looking forward to a great night.

JOE SATRIANI IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS, TOMORROW, IT'S REALLY HAPPENING FOLKS. ROCK THE RAFTERS JOE, YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE.

Saw Joe last night in London, totally totally amazing, we were treated to some old stuff and some new stuff from SBM and a fantastic duet with Matt and Jeff. Joe must have been about six feet from me and all of us lot on the front row. A young lad passed out right by us, he didn't look too good at all, hope he is ok now. Paul Huxley, hope you got home ok, we didn't get back until 1.30 this morning. Andy has gone off to work but will be home early to take my lads to Brum tonight.

Naty you should have caught that plane, you could have parachuted out and landed right on the green in front of the venue.

Jofdm - LOL also means Lot Of Love.

Phyrg Dom - what's up with you then, nothing contagious I hope, is it finger ache from too much typing on this site.

Bye for now

Sharon

Mr Nick, Tube strike was pretty much total, no transport underground anywhere, buses were full up, conductors were pushing some people off. We set off by car from the Midlands at 5.30am, parked near the venue at 10.30am. Roads were chaotic but wouldn't have missed Joe for all the tea in China.

Paul Huxley, nice to meet you too.

I've had a thought anyway, after watching Joe and his lightening fingers I have come to the conclusion they must be bionic. Perhaps Joe is related to the bionic man. Anyways I've never seen anyone play so fast, accurate or have that much stretch and suppleness on the old fingers. Anyways we were blown away.

Can't wait for your return Joe

Love to all Sharon

Wah Wah - I saw you, you were only a few feet from me, we managed to get to the front again at Birmingham, what luck, took my two lads this time, they were just blown away, my youngest's face was a picture, Joe acknowledged us at Brum and in London, he looked straight at me as if to say yes I'm looking at you, I waved and he smiled back. Absolutely priceless.

Joe was brilliant again last night and he is now in Manchester giving you northerners your turn.

Anibur - couldn't you have rugby tackled that guard or was he just too big. We were downstairs in London on the front row. Only got a bit crushed towards the end when some were trying to catch the picks and Jeff's sticks.

Paul - hope you get your piccies sorted, thanks for the tip on the messages etc I'm sorted now.

Naty - I'd sack those servants if I were you, they must be Joe friendly.

Love to everyone.

Satch fans at Manchester, sorry you lot got a bad sound at the Apollo, sound was great at Birmingham and London. Trip to London on tube strike day was worth it, sitting on the steps for four hours watching the kamikaze traffic on that Island kept us all entertained. Andy went to the loo at the Aussie bar just as a car and a bus had a bit of a fracas, thought there was going to be a punch up. There was more excitement than the Grand Prix.

What did everybody think of that Jeff and Matt duo, I thought it was fantastic. Jeff looked as though he was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Let's hope Joe doesn't stay away too long.

Sharon

Paul - Thanks for the photos, didn't take too long to download, they're not crystal clear but nice to keep, thanks again. When the concert started did you see that bloke who was taking photos officially for Satch, he had been outside too taking pictures of us lot queueing.

Shell - we were downstairs front, centre right next to the bloke who passed out.

Higain- Joe is now 46.

Austin - does Joe appear much on any of the music channels. We don't have Sky/Cable yet.

Joe, have a safe journey home and come back soon.

Shell, it wasn't too bad where I was until the end when Joe was throwing his picks and Jeff threw his sticks, some people from the back pushed forward which made it a bit squashed.

Re that jacket Joe was wearing at the beginning, did anyone with backstage passes photograph Joe in it at all, around the dog shows we usually see this fella that does some wonderful designs and puts them on leather and denim jackets, he has a book full of pictures that he will transfer onto your clothing, there were some very good Led Zep piccies, if I could give him some Satch stuff ,as long as Joe didn't mind, I'm sure he would add these to his collection and maybe we could have some of that jacket too. You don't have to go to dog shows to see him, he does have a website. I'll get some more info when we next see him.

Re Shepherd's Bush, if the Council gave Joe orders to be out by a certain time then he would have to adhere to that, some of these Councils are tough on some of their noise rules. I work for our local Council so I know what sticklers they are on some things. More's the pity.

Sparrow, I have mailed you privately, please please send those photos to me. I know a man who can do great work customising clothes, if he can do the work based on the photos I will let everybody know where to get this done. Thanks, send them soon.

Austin - thanks for your reply, we have MTV over here. We don't have satelite yet, trying to talk the old man into letting us have it and a new bigger tv with dvd etc. I might have to resort to some methods of persuasion me thinks.

It's raining again in the UK, just typical, come back Joe and bring that Sunshine with you.

Wildwayz - Great Photos,

Michelle - What does Wackaloon mean, I take it this comes from the verb to be wacky?

JOE - enjoy your holiday and get back on line asap.

2 Ton Tessie, I know someone who called their dog Sex, you can imagine the problems that caused. There is a piece in one of our club newsletters, I'll try and find it out, it's quite funny.

2 Ton Tessie, also remembered a friend of ours who competes, registered a young pup with the Kennel Club and her kennel name was Sallate Effy Nell and the Kennel Club passed it, it wasn't until he started to compete with her that someone complained and he was forced to re-register her as Sallate Nell.

We will be buying our last Dobermann pup this year when my favourite breeder is ready. Her Kennel Name will be Jowendy Look My Way, after one of Joe's songs of course.

Bye for now, must go and do some work ha ha.

Sharon

Michelle, I'm afraid I need some more explanations, what sort of SWAG do you want up here then.

www.ticketmaster.com does cover USA

Naty - where are you, haven't seen any posts for a couple of days. Have you eaten too much chocolate and can't get to the keyboard. I tried some Belgian chocolate the other day, it was very very nice. mmmmmmmm.

Anibur - Next Joe concert we could all buy those tentacle things you put on your head, we'll all look like martians but we'll all know who is on the site and who isn't.

I haven't done any housework yet, just got all the fodder in for the tribe.

Paul, now I have sorted my messages out I can keep up with everyone, thanks again. It's always easy when you know how.

Bye for now

Michelle - Thanks for explaining that, I always thought Swag was nicked stuff. If it's Joe stuff then get the Swag on here especially that Jacket and those Trousers. Speaking of clothes, the Academy is near a clothes shop that we went into a couple of weeks ago and they sell weird wild clothes, perhaps we could all go in there and find some crazy trousers.

Wildwayz - managed to download your photos, they're great, now Joe is my Wallpaper. Great stuff.

Sparrow When are you going to send me those piccies of Joe's jacket.

Naty - what sort of bad day then, if it's too bad get the choccies out and put Joe on. Works for me. Since coming back from hols and seeing Joe I just can't get back into the swing of things, housework, blah, ironing, blah, food shopping, blaaaah. working for the boring Council blah blah blah and double blah. To make matters work our roads are being dug up yet again, absolutely total blaaaah.

Mike Strat - Are you the nearest on line fan to me, we live near Cannock, I think it is Junction 11 off the M6.

Question - who on earth is Mngwie J Malmsteen, my son has come home with one of this bloke's CD's. War To End All Wars? Haven't listened to the CD yet. I did notice a blond bloke with a shirt on with this name on plus some swearing at Shepherd's Bush, stood just a few yards from us on the front row too. Nice hair, rude shirt.
