Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

John Homer Miller

I dig this

Crank it!

Sway wit meh T!

oxley, that would be awesome! lol!

Al, beautiful. After listening I'm not sure if I wanna curl up in a ball & cry, or put on all my winter gear and go look for some snow to trudge thru until I die of exhaustion. I won't be doing either, but good job as always.

Last night I was listening to my mp3 player with my headphones. I was in the kitchen when Solitude came on. It literally stopped me in my tracks. I stood there till it was over, with every hair on my body standing on end. The soft bells in the background and the simplicity of the guitar. So simple, and yet so deep. Amazing.

Thanks for that one Joe :-)

here's archives of yesterday's hangout / video chats!

Joe's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avIit0wBf_E

Skippeeeeeee! Nice to see & hear you!

Is anyone else on the vid? I don't have time to sit through the entire thing now, but if I know to look for someone and at what time in the vid I'll try to get back to it.

Hehe thanks Shel, I managed not to make a complete idiot of myself (I hope). it was VERY COOL to talk with Joe for the first time. It was 7:30 am Sunday morning for me so I had to set the alarm, throw a T shirt over my jammies and grab a thermos mug of espresso and jump on the puter whilst everyone else was asleep. That's why I look dreadful! My hair was a disaster,.

I was chosen to chat with Joe first which was a buzz, and I was the only girl and the only Aussie haha. One for the girls!

The youtube shows Joe's screen, which is why it stays on the person he is talking to rather than him. Whereas on my monitor Joe was in the big window.

If you get time to watch the whole thing it's fantastic! Joe of course is a wonderful chatter and his answers are really interesting. There is a terrific guy who had guitars and amps all around his room and was sitting there with a guitar plugged in and Joe asked him to play something so the guy ripped a short riff and it was really fun.

How cool to do that sort of thing with your supporters. One guy was from Venezuela and another was from Turkey, how fantastic for the 3 of us half a world away (and the other 7 presumably across the USA) get to talk to Joe???

Aw thanks Al!

Two Shay - LOL, that kid was really lovely though, a genuine fan.

Thanks for the 2012 tour Joe!!

I see my hero every day. In fact, I live with him. He's my husband.

all together now...awwwwwwww!

:-)

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! : (

Sorry, had to be done (not the page formatting accident though!)

Hybes- Here is the full song and video TATTOO

P. Lily, I prefer a little of this in the morning :-) LOL!

Blame it on the WUB!

But seriously folks...

Crank it!!

Same WUB, but different. lol!

Michelle- Ahhh.... Better WUB......a lil power Cosmic -just the ticket to get Tattoo outa my head. ;)

Peace Lily - Ya. I hope it grows on me too. I REALLY want to like this new CD. I have been a long time fan like so many. Don't want to be let down after waiting all these years for something new.

Honestly after listening...the guitar work is ok...you know it's Eddie....but I think it's the lack of Mike's backing vocals. And perhaps I just don't care for it yet, because when you listen to van halen there are 2 things you expect....Eddie's guitar and Mike's backing harmonies.
