THE JOE SHIKANY TRADITIONS
SHIKANY Family, Friends, Musicians and Fans… I am flooded with emotion from the last ten weeks of traveling with the Joe Shikany institution of love, forgiveness, music history and most lovable people on the planet. Let it be known in history the nineteenth of October two thousand eight at five o’clock in the evening at Fremont Studios, Seattle, Washington, during the celebration of Mr. Joe Shikany’s life, a phenomenon became visible. A room packed full of people bursting with love, music and friendship formed as one in Joe Shikany’s name. Afterward we received several comments to carry on the Shikany traditions of support and love for the music community. Our hope is that we will pass on the SHIKANY traditions through building a global Joe Shikany Foundation.
Love and Peace,
In Gods Name Amen,
Ann Catherine Ice (AC ICE)

“Heaven is louder today”
I hear an army of guitars on the stage,
but there’s just one guy playing, one guy.
He shakes the building with guitars that he made,
this one guy playing, one guy.
I’ll never forget the day that we met,
so easy to call you my friend.
We drove mile after mile with that Lebanese smile,
we know that this trip never ends.
Heaven is louder today
I play an D minor chord in the dark,
I’m trying to heal up a hole in my heart.
We get comfort cause we know you’re not alone
You’re with the best guitar players the world has ever known.
You were sweet, but you were strong,
so many people lining up to love you
We’re gonna be here all night long,
I can’t believe that you’ll never play with us again
Never play with us again
Ooh we miss you now
You got the angels watching over you so you watch over us
Hey Joe, where you going with that guitar in your hands.

My Dearest Joe... It's Memorial Day & I want you to know you are weighing heavy on my heart. I have spent the last five sunny days in the house sorting through boxes of my past. I have looked at thousands of our photos & read hundreds of cards... I smile for a moment, then cry. You were the best thing that ever happened to me & I wish I could turn back time. The saying is true... You don't know what you've got until it's gone. I've learned the hard way & I am humbled. I miss you & I love you xoxoxo I hope you like your flowers:) Za'

I first met Joe sometime in the mid 70's during the Shyanne, Bighorn days. The last time I saw him was at the Rimrock and he had made me promise to come to a jam nite the following week.
