BTW. Will there be a japanese Bonus Track on Mecca 2?

Me too!!!
But...keep in mind...there are other artists and acts named Mecca....I could not even trademark it....so...next album I might just call Joe Vana...who knows....people relate me to the name anyway, so I guess I could use whichever....Mecca, joe Vana...interchangeable I guess....I have just been doing Mecca for 12 years now...and would like to do music that makes ME happy and puts a smile on my face to play!!! Mecca does that...but I would like to grow a bit....that does NOT mean a Blues or Jazz album!!! Hahahahahaa......
I am going in a little bit of a different direction.....and am very excited about it....still will sound like us, just a bit more...just a bit...a little Hall and Oates...just a tad...and just starting to plan it out....
But as far as Mecca...I am going to give the name a rest for a while...next album as I said will be a Joe Vana album....so a bit different...I do get a lot of shit though from all my co-writers now...they say every tune I work on I make it end up sounding like Mecca...I am going to TRY to grow a bit...but, I am stuck with my ears, and I like only certain things...so maybe it will just end up sounding like Mecca...I do know one thing though, Mecca sounds different than other bands like us...so I have that to feel ok about...
VERY excited about the future guys!!!!

How about:
Joe Vana's Mecca. Just like Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
I personally like: Vana.
I agree with the Mecca sound. The music isn't like anyone else. Yeah, you can hear some Toto and Mr. Mister at times but most of it - it's just it's own stuff. You can't really compare it to anyone else even though it's in Melodic Rock genre. There a lot of bands you can compare to each other but Mecca really is it's own thing. Saint John and I have talked about this before when you emailed out a few samples earlier this year. We couldn't really say this sounds like so and so. That's a good thing.
