Ovation1 --- Thank you so much for your help! Please do keep me posted on that... :)

Prog X "Fly To New Planetary Systems" update --- Well, folks, I have been working on the drum track to this one diligently for the last three weeks, and I am FINALLY into the fast middle part of the song! PHEW! Was all set to finish up half of the entire drum track today, but had too much to frickin' do! This is the first time I've sat down to the computer all day, the home studio has been sitting in cobwebs. With ten minutes to go before I leave for work, I might as well not even bother to turn the thing on. Prog-ress is being made, but slowly. I hope to have this thing completely finished by the 1st of August, it's been draggin on too damned long! Prog X's Temple

aah, at last I found a way to d/load off iuma- i've been getting 403 erros with getright, but I can finally do it now. I can finally hear Pete's redone Shanghai Interlude!

And I've figured out how to use Magix Music Studio Deluxe generation 5 (Emagic clone but works fine). On the other hand I have to write an essaycomparing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no 4 in G major movement I with Tippett's Concerto for double string orchestra... isn't life fun?

tube strike??? Oh dear oh dear. Well I'm skipping college for the day to go so there shouldn't be a problem with the walking.... hope it's not tooooo far from Victoria... wouldn't it be sweet if the webcast was from London? What a souvenir that'd be... although I guess all those in San Fransisco on Jeff's birthday already know.

Hi.. I am from Greece and i want to say or..MUST say that you are a kind of magic.During the live in Athens (Petroupoli) we all saw a man who probably born to playing guitar to all his life!! Its not a joke its the reality.. That night (3th July) you give us to understand the magic of your talent..understanding a STRANGE BEAUTIFUL WORLD!!!

We all hope to see you again...soon Thank you Joe!

NITSUA111....I sure hope so.................WAY TO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Joe,

I am Sammy, a budding 11 year old guitarist - check me out on www.sammyroberts.com/ I am half English and half Thai and live in Phuket Thailand. Among players I have jammed with are Michael Maung (He says you taught him many years ago). We are in England right now and my dad is bringing me to see you at Birmingham next Friday. I'll try and get a good spot up in the balcony as I am only a little guy! Any chance of meeting you after the show to autograph my CD? See you on Friday (don't forget to look up!).

Hey everyone here's a link to an interview that is recent with Joe. I got the link off Joes' Epic Record Site.

HEY JOE!!! GLAD TO FINALLY BE BACK TO COMPUTERLAND. LOOKING FOWARD TO SEEING YOU IN PHOENIX THIS AUGUST!! NO CELEBERITY, BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE DODGE THEATER BEFORE, SO I WILL ANTICIPATE THE SHOW WITH BAITED BREATH! I HAVEN'T MISSED A SHOW SINCE DECEMBER 1991 IN CHICAGO-AT THE RIVIERA. WON'T START NOW!!!

sammyroberts - It's cool that you're into guitar at such a young age. How do you pronounce "Phuket"? It looks very similar to something else...I found that funny.

HI Joe.

Joe,

alien32 - Yeah, that was a good part of the interview. I liked the note where Joe says the first two people he calls for each G3 are Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. That would be the greatest concert ever.

Austin... it's pronounced "poo kett" and not whatever you were thinking.

I didn't have to resort to loud music this morning because my flatmate didn't come home last night. His girlfriend's 21st thingy tonight. My query is why have a thingy for your 21st when you had a big thingy for your 18th birthday? Dress is SEMI-FORMAL so this will be my get-up: dark green shirt, dark blue jacket, tie, black and blue board shorts and either casual shoes/socks OR thongs!!! HAHAHA!!! It'll be a hoot! Well it said semi formal! Half of me will be formal!

Gotta go. I'll check out what's going on with SBM around here. (Probably nothing yet, just like EOC.)

Hi all!!

have you guys checked out the new photos in the "road' section? I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the new BOSS pedals are in joe's setup which seems to have added stuff! All i could figure out was a BOSS octave pedal and a 2nd BOSS distortion pedal; does joe need that much distortion?? let me know if you guys have answers~

Man, I wish I had an extra $2750 lying around to pick up that Chromeboy on Ebay....ahh, such is life. Austin - I'm gonna miss the reviews! Kept things interesting while waiting for Joe to post...(still waiting.) The pictures from Europe are nice to see though, and it seems that the fans are enjoying the shows immensely, which in the end is all that matters.

Drafter37. Born in Bremerton? I'm Sorry. Bremerton is really not that bad. You just have a hard time finding real people.

Ibztone.

Thanks for the link. That was a great interview.
