Hey Joe,
This is my first post. Missed you at the " House of Blues " Dec 29th in Vegas. I purchased 5 tickets for me and my family. My kids ( twins ) turned 21 on that day. What a perfect Birthday Party. Attending a Joe Satriani concert. Well to our dismay , the concert was canceled. This seemed to be par for the course of our vacation. We has flight tickets through Delta to Vegas on Christmas day. Well you know all the flights got canceled. After 4 airports and 3 flights later we arrived in Vegas the 26th. We went to get our luggage , guess what....yes you guessed it. The luggage was not their. Lost ! They did find the luggage and had it rushed to Vegas. We picked it up later in the day. Well that was not too bad. At least we were going to see the greatest guitar player of the 20th century. We went to get out rental car , they canceled or reservations. I talked to the Mgr. of the company and he fixed me up with a car. " Thank God " . We went to our hotel. Guess what ???? Yes , they canceled the rooms. Again the Mgr. of the hotel ( Luxor ) understood what we just went through and fixed us up. We unloaded our luggage to our rooms and went to lunch. We were all talking about the concert. All of us were very excited to see you live. None of us had been to one of your concerts. I would have but my son plays tennis for Ohio State University and most of the time I spend going to Tennis matches. He is ranked #1 in the Country by the way. Ok, rain was forecasted for Vegas. A place that gets 4 " of rain a year got almost 3 " in 36 hrs. Still the concert was all in our minds. My daughter called me and told me she heard " The Joe Satriani Concert " was canceled. I said "your are joking arn't you" . She said " No dad, I just heard it ". Well it was true. We still celebrated my kids birthday at the "House of Blues ". I bought them their first drink. Well legal drink that is. I bought a few for myself too. I did get a refund on the tickets. I hope that we can all see you in the future sometime. I live in Toledo, Ohio. By the way we all love to listen to your Strange and Beautiful music. Thanks for your great talent, I enjoy every note !
