Yes Joel, I realize I didn't send a pic of a guitar, lol, but seeing as you are such a diverse guitarist/songwriter, I'm thinking this compliments your softer acoustic pieces...right? Wonderful to see you kicking ass in both ROA and CSR tour. Saw ya with Night Ranger at the Tampa gig, what a crowd...only something like...10,000 people there! Take care hun and keep rockin'n'making magic:)
Great shows in Tampa and West Palm!!!! You guys rock out! Cant wait to see you in Ohio and Kentucky!!! Have a great day! Look forward to rockin soon! Keep pushin!
You need a beaver tail necklace. All flat and smooth, gleaming black dam building appendage. YES!! He who wears the sacred limb will rule. Except no substitutes (like platypus, or wolf) No go... embrace your density.

Hello Joel. Thanks you for accepting my request... Very nice tunes. I love Gorilla Man 2000. Very good riff. ........................................................ ................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................
Thank you for the INCREDIBLE show you put on the other night in Jonesboro Arkansas. In all my years going to concert, I've never seen a band kick ass that well.....I was a fan before, but nothing beats seeing you guys live! Keep rocking. Bob
