Joseph--Those guitars that follow you around the world are looking beautiful and sounding so sweet and it's all because you have the best guitar tech in the world!! You're having way too much fun with those pedals......magic that they are! I don't care how long it takes to meet ya! I'm taking a number as huge as it is and standing in line for a bizzillion years!! Meanwhile, I'm playing my Fender acoustic and taking lessons from Ry Kihn and listening to everyone's nightmare.......Nights with Alice Cooper online at Q107, Calgary, Alberta.

OMG--Blue_Moon--How is it you've found out my weakness for Facebook?!!! A mad addiction.....I tells ya! ;-)

The youngins are restless these days! And some of us middle-aged ppls as well.

Ibanezplyr--I went to Dublin, Cali on Sunday and noticed the people hangin' around the local Peet's Coffee place. Then I looked out the window and noticed a whole bunch of new condos, row houses, townhomes have been built up over the last 6 to 7 years! It looks like they are tryin' to copy Dublin, Ireland architecture-wise. Only they can't because Dublin, Eire can't be copied because it's the old country (with a lot of restless youngins similar to here) and unique in its way.

Los Gatos has a lot of youngins hanging around at the Borders book store and Coffee Roasting Company. I love the coffee houses of California......great bevies! OMG!....the teen girls at Borders were sayin some of the same things I remember my friends and me sayin' when we were their age! "I'm bored!" "There's nothin' to do around here!" My friends and I used to say that when we were just lazin' around and scribbling on pieces of paper! Ahh.....YOUTH! The world is your oyster.......and you may never pass this way again! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!! ;-)

...Austin...

Oops meant to be "SWTA" at the very end.

Dang iPod autocorrect.
...Austin...

My father in laws first name is Austin and the Six million dollar man's name was Steve Austin.

So now I have to refer to Do the Stu as Do the Stu, but that's okay. Welcome Austin from PA.

Do the Stu-It would be very cool to join you guys in Tahoe, but I am afraid I wil be into harvest by then. I think I can still swing the ATL trip as far as my schedule goes. May have to take a rain check on a T2J get together. If I go to ATL it will be a quick flight in the day of the show and leave out the next morning.

On the Sammy Hagar post VH subject, What is your take on the "Livin' it Up album? bought it a couple of weeks ago. I really like some of it but it is a little jarring listening to Sammy do country music. I would have to say I like the album although I am not really big into country.

Newaustin: hey welcome, and thanks for the nice product placement. :)

Anyone still waiting for their club shirt? I still haven't got mine. The rest of Tre order turned up, but not the fan-t.

Skippygirl: Cool that u liked it, I have to warn you, the original Count of Tuscany song is actually 19 minutes long, and the first 13 are not as peaceful!! It is a great song overall, just don't expect it to be a soft one when you hear it in its entirety. And I'll get started on writing the new song, I'll get some tips from Sammy as he seems to write about that subject all the time!! lol

Austin from PA: Welcome! You are the first official user of Roo's app, he's probably a very happy camper now!

Axeshredder: Cool vid, Jackson is the coolest dude out there. Thx on the video comment, had I stopped I probably would've crashed!! lol

Pip55: Cool that u liked the vid.

Elpp: actually, it's been downloaded a fair bit. It's only Austin that seems to be posting a fair bit.

Another couple of users have posted, I recall seeing some a while ago.

Austin is also a city in Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Nevada, and Oregon, says Wikipedia. I didn't know about any of those until just now...

Despite the writing/collaboration on a few songs and touring with Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney, I don't think it's fair to call this a country album. It's laid back and has more focus on the vocals, but I still hear a lot of Sammy in it. To use VH as a comparison, this one is more Finish What Ya Started and Can't Stop Lovin' You instead of Poundcake and Top Of The World.

It's nice to have a studio version of his Rainy Day Women cover (which he played during his solo spot when I saw VH in 2004), and another R&B cover with Let Me Take You There. Those two songs, along with the single Sam I Am, are probably my favorites from the album.

I like Halfway To Memphis, but I think his original version (from 2002's Not 4 Sale, listen here) is better. If you don't have N4S, by the way, I think it should be your next purchase.

Anyway, back to Livin' It Up!, I unfortunately think the album sent Sammy's solo career down the Jimmy Buffet path (shows are parties and setlists are stale) and I don't think he'll be able to recover. It's a shame, as he has A LOT of great solo songs that never get played...I'm sure you're starting to see that.

Cappy Steve- Yeah if there is one negative about Sammy that I could change it would be the excessive swearing. Once is one thing but....

It is hard to bring a young kid to a show where you know every other word is F@*%.

I was in a band where we had the weird scenario of the bass player who was not the lead vocalist that served as the "MC" if you will. The guy barely said F@*% off stage but was his favorite word between songs. I'm far from a saint but wanted to crawl under my kit a few times, and we played the kind of places that it was common place to hear that in the crowd.

So I could see where he could be uncomfortable with it. But hey what can you say? He's Sammy..I wouldn't ask him to stop if I were in a band with him.

Cappy, Joe has a potty mouth sometimes too, and on the occasion he lets it rip, it's funny as hell. You have to remember...after a tour with Leslie West, Sammy is like a Girl Scout. lmao!!

Mornin' peeps! err afternoon/evening?
