Dear Mr Satriani,
My name is Vicente and I live in Malaga (southern Spain). My family and I are great fans of your music. Specially my two cousins, FJ and JA, who have a rock band called “Remember Rock” and always play some songs from your repertoire in each concert.They both went to see the last two concerts you offered to the Spanish public.
FJ (46, computer engeneer) has been struggling against leucemia for six years. Last summer he underwent a marrow transplant. He enjoys playing the guitar so much that when he had to stay in hospital for long periods asked to be sent his musical gear -he has tried hard not to waste a minute of joy in his life- and recorded some of your songs. Unfortunately, he is at present in very bad condition, and we think that he's going to pass away in very few days.
And this is the reason why I'm writing; I'd like to ask you to write some encouraging words to him. He doesn't know that he's dying; we haven't told him the whole truth as we want him to go peacefully. He would go crazy with appreciation if he received a short message from his idol!
I hope that your agenda will enable you to do this little favour for us.
Thanks a lot and best wishes.
His name is Francisco Jose Medina and his email fcojmedina@gmail.com

OK Michelle since you put out the 2003 interview.....That makes sense.
JOE--You are so right on about there being a language to music, similar to a math language and various computer languages......that made no sense to me, but must make sense to Jon Luini. Anyway, I gave a listen to "You Saved My Life" yet again for the zillionth time and really felt the overlays of guitar--acoustic rhythm, and 3 electric guitar voices speaking so clearly of a life-sustaining love that is so huge it reaches beyond the moments and stays with me beyond the minutes of the song. Prior to listening to "You Saved ....", I was listening to "Standchen" by Schubert/Liszt and was thinking it was written about the time pianos were the great musical instruments many people either had or wanted in their homes. I think now the guitar is the more desirable home musical instrument because of its size and portability and it's so important in today's popular music.
Anyway, music definitely has a language that young musicians learn and I am so grateful for teachers like Bill Westcott who reached out to open minds like yours, Joe. I'm glad you were receptive.

Hi,
Joe, I bought the Satchurator the other day, and I must say I am really impressed how it fits my sound likes, being able to get the sound I want. But can you please tell me a good setting which I would get a good bluesy sound with? :)
best wishes Joe and keep on rocking, you're the best there :)

Had a great afternoon today. Picnic in the park, bottle of wine, watching/listening to a brass band. A really pleasant change. Got talking to the conductor who explained how the band is made up compared to an orchestra, cool beans.

Al--You've gotten too good at copying and pasting messages! What's this "madman" thing? I hope Michelle's gender bending hasn't affected you! And yes, I'm still your favorite LUNI!!!!!!!
Maybe Enya can introduce you to some chicks that are more to your liking. Then, again you are always welcome to San Fran. When you are in the neighborhood I could take you to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and you can see all the great creatures living in our ocean universe......if you want to.
GG2 :-)

Kind of a lax Sunday for me. Not much was done except the slaying of NAZI ZOMBIES!!!!
Anyway......., I watched the "Out Of The Sunrise" podcast a couple of months back and I said to myself, "I'm gonna stay up all night and record the sunrise when I go down to the beach". Just a little video for all of us Satch fans. I'll give shout-outs to people, only if you want me to, and I'll put the video on Youtube.
I'll put a link to it, as I always do, and we can all watch it. It should be up by the end of the month. Hopefully by August 30th.
If you want to be part of the Shout Outs, put in bold letters, "I WANT TO BE PART OF THE SHOUT OUTS".
P.S.-Saw the Sorcerer's Apprentice. EXCELLENT MOVIE!! I highly recommend you see it. It is well worth the overly-inflated 10 dollars charge.
