Webmastah... would it be possible to put a "webmaster's messages" link at the top, beside Joe's? A lot of times when I show up here after a few days away there are 15-20 new pages to view. Don't get me wrong, I love you all :O) but sometimes you just want to cut to the chase, this would be a great addition, imho. Also, is there an FAQ about formatting on this board? IE: for links & bold text etc, what is the tag structure up in here? Thanks.

PLUM LOCO - Rik is THE MAN, eh? Technically he is one of the best. Back "in the day" we all wanted to be as technically proficient as Rik, we all scrambled to learn Midsummer's Daydream. Thunder Seven is still a very solid album, even to this day. (IF you can take the high vocals, which I can). A professional guitar player friend of mine (who will be playing my Wedding) was over last week for dinner, I'm always trying to suggest stuff to him that's a little challenging, when I mentioned M's D he said "well, I don't really remember it that well.." & then proceeded to play it nearly flawlessly, he did the same (after a quick retuning) with Bron-Yr-Aur (one of my all-time favorite Led Zep instrumentals) dude is just amazing. If anyone is interested in some local (well it is to me anyway) classical guitar tunes, check out my bud's band, the CGQ (Canadian Guitar Quartet) at their site: http://www.cgq.on.ca/

I think I'll go & crack out Thunder Seven now, just for old time's sake, Little Boy Blues here I come.

smooches,

chocoholic- yeah i seem to be better- just came off the penicillin yesterday, doing well. I've been recently teaching my self to juggle with 3 balls- exciting stuff ;)

Sharon, this is sooo funny. When I said Joe was shaking Fruit Loops in his face, I meant a box of breakfast cereal. However, I agree with you, anything Joe wants to shake in my direction would be o.k. too. LOL!!!!!

Ovation1, wish I could play Joe's music at work. That would be sooo cool. Instead we have to listen to whatever stuff is piped in through satellite radio. Some days it's not to bad, but some days I'd rather stick hot nails in my eardrums. Thanks for the suggestions for the show.

r6rocker, I remember those satin suits. LOL! Wonder if JOE ever wore one?

Dave, how bout we just wear our Satch shirts and parade around in out underwear to get ppl's. attention. LOL! I have Satch IN my car, ON my car, IN my house, IN my locker at work, IN my bag I carry at work - hell, I even gave pictures of me & Joe to my family & friends so he can be displayed in their houses too! At this point, I'm almost stalkerish! If you really want to get crazy, go to www.stickerjunkie.com & get some Satch stickers made up and stick them on everything in site! lol! And NO, I haven't done that yet, but it has crossed my mind. lol! It's not only Joe's music that means that much to me, it's Joe as a person. Anyone who's ever met him can testify that he is warm, kind, humble, ect....just a fantastic human being. His music is an extra added bonus :)

dragonchild- I agree with the resemblance of Joe and Jerry Seinfeld (Nicholas Cage too). A friend of mine who lived in New York for a while. Anyway, I showed him a picture of me and Joe and he said, "that guy's from New York."

Chocoholic: Rick Mayal is very funny, even with the Black Adder material.

JSClone1 - I have to agree with you on the Rubina issue, now that it's become an old subject... That song changed my approach to playing guitar from the very minute I first listened to it. It is one of those life changing events for me... I'm glad we all get to say this to Joe. - hope he hears us ;-)

Michelle: You nailed it again, re: Joe. I will never forget my experience meeting Joe. I've met quite a few "famous" musicians, (never had a bad experience with any of them), but Joe Satriani, the person, will always stand out in my memory. He is a great person. How many others would say that it's a privledge to sign autographs night after night, one after another. He really loves it! He truly loves his fans.

clarky : let me know if and when they want to broadcast your stuff... i wanna hear whats going down... :-) i'll see how many people i can tell about it as well...

bonsoir !! I'm french! Heu......I write this text after my boyfriend leave me. he's crazy about satriani (and me too now!), so i though that he understand, with "words" of joe, what i feel..heu, ok:
