Joe G

Last Wednesday I was getting a haircut, and my barber, who is a veteren of the WWII generation, remarked rather sarcastically, "Isn't it great that all those countries around the world have offered to help us out, after all the times we've gone out and helped with thier disasters?" At that point, the media was focused exclusively on the unfolding story in N.O. and Mississippi, and I hadn't heard Bush's stated refusal of the aid of the world community. Of course, I was not going to get into a political debate with my barber either way. I would hope, however, that that list gets shown to every American who wrongly thinks that the world is against us or whatever. A good humbling is in order, I think.

Paco: you're a light in the world.

Sorry, but I would have had to shoot the bassist. Love the tone on the clean channel guitar.

Sounds excellent! You are so cool.

So I take it you're not going to go to Berklee to study with him?

no No NO! Good music = good feelings, bad music = feeling like shit.

Yes and no. We would have thought he sucked back in the day, too.

I'm sensitive like that.

David, likewise, I very much enjoyed meeting and conversing with the two of you. Hopefully we'll do it again soon.

Guitar Shred Show: (words of wisdom: "Use your imagination.... and your wammy bar.") Joe Stump: (that stuff made me feel like shit)

Hooking up a cat to the toaster also produces some sick sounds.

Correction: Jazz could have some sick sounds. If only... ?

That's the kind of thing I like to hear about.

Kids! Brush your teeth, keep your room clean, and listen to The Is The Place!

Ghost of Miles has posted several good links in the hurricane thread.

I made a donation to the Red Cross last night. I'll make another in the near future. Things are going to get worse (indeed they already are) before they get better.

This is turning into quite the gathering!

Thanks!

Damn straight my man!

Just teasin' ya.

Damn Greg! You brought up a thread that's been dead for a year-and-a-half just to say THAT??!!? Love that Martino/Goldstein date that Noj mentioned, BTW.

I love that piano vamp up front.

Alma's HUGE! Or, at least she was the last time I saw her.

Um....

Hell of a time for a band to go on the road!
