Hi Joe,

My wife Leigh Ann and I have been through a tough time these last few years. We've spent the better part of the last six years trying to start a family but couldn't due to "unknown infertility issues." We finally gave up on IVF and moved on to an international adoption. It was a long process, but on June 2, 2004 we picked up our son Ryan Hyung Woo at the airport. He is such a great boy and has adapted so well. It's like he's always been here.

"I Believe" is my wife's favorite song and it's become our theme song throughout this whole thing. We're coming to the Beacon on October 16th and it would mean so much to her if you would play it.

Thanks Joe, be well.

Incase anyone here that is in the UK would like/knows someone who would like a wireless headset mic system I have one for sale on ebay. Here is the link - Wireless Headset Mic System

6 year old - 0 ! - 0 putting green - 1 womanly, as the great one intended - 4

962 - Yeah, I'd go for it for any kind of saving... they'll be fine with you if they actually have the thing you order... good luck!

masteryoda - anderton's are also a rip-off... the bass i got from gak was being sold £250 more expensive there (350 - 599 UKP). I've been to albert's music yeah! and i totally get what you're saying... it has got that league of gentlemen feel... bought more there than at anderton's though (earplugs and a stringwinder, against anderton's feeble midi lead). Albert's have a good selection of Dream Theater tab books too, which gives them extra points...

Yeah, we really should meet up... whereabouts do you live and whenabouts are you free? you still somewhere off southway?

V-Amp Pro is nice... a friend of mine has one... I can't compare to the Pod version but it's very good for the money- loads of connectivity and pretty good tone... though you'd probably have to play with it to see whether it's for you...

almost forgot to say (actually I did, i'm editing now...)

Bahduh: I'm only seeing the live scorecard on the Internet, there is no live broadcast on TV or radio here.

Jblaze, I KNEW it was Loony Toones! I just had the wrong character. lol!

Mick, I'm feeling better and looking forward to seeing Joe on the 14th! The following week I'll be seeing Godsmack/Metallica!! My 3 favorite bands in the world within a one week time frame. Lawd gimme strenff! lol! Hope I don't end up in traction from headbanging. lol! Good luck with school :)

I have a question for anyone in PENNSYLVANIA (or anyone who knows the law in PA). I have the license plate to my old car that was sold privately. I couldn't use that plate for my new car since I didn't use the old car as a trade in. Is that plate totally invalid, and could I give it to someone legally and not get in trouble. Would it be an invalid plate no matter who has it and what State it's in?

I found a photo of me from a few months ago when I had a big bushy beard, how disgusting. Also note the trademark mischievous facial expression. If you look carefully at my t-shirt you can see subliminal messages. Pity my awesome board shorts were hidden from view.

I just got home from the Atlanta show - Opening night of the "Evening With" tour. Don't miss this one! Joe was unbeleivable.

Joe, I do have a question. Where was the flame guitar??? I took a girl who LOVES flames, and has a picture of you with that guitar on her wall, and told her you'd probably play it, and every time you switched guitars, she gave me a look of disappointment. So, where are the flames??

It's 7.34 in Guildford and I haven't been to sleep yet... I have to walk to a lecture in less than an hour's time...

jelly man, cool, thanks mate!

I was lookin on the GAK site last night, and for the first time saw the small-print that says "gak.co.uk ltd is a sister company to The Guitar, Amp and Keyboard Centre and the prices in the online store do not reflect those in the shop. Then they provide a phone number.

So, presumeably, if I phone them and say "do you have an Audiosport Quattro and an Iby SA1260 in stock, they're going to check the shop's stock even though they maintain it's a seperate company! God dammit! I'll try my best anyway! Thanks for your advice/warnings!

Thanks Simon! I hope Joe does not let the song live up to its name!

Did you guys know that Elin Nordegren has a twin sister??? In case you didnt know, Tiger Woods recently got married to Elin and I am so damn psyched that there indeed is another woman who looks as good as Elin...and thats her twin!

962- they do actually have seperate stock at the two companies i'm afraid! that really annoyed me...

Jelly - Yeah, you're right there; everything I've wanted in there has been well over priced. And by that I mean about £150-200 on average. It's pretty ridiculous. That's why I usually just try stuff out in there, and then look for it cheaper online somewhere.

Benny, did they wear beanies like that in the medieval days? lol!
