Hey Joe......never really much had a pc till this year when my life monumentally changed.........now i have every forum available to see and hear your product from so many levels....i actually own nearly everything that you have ever done (like most of us "Satrifiles".....can i copyright that?)....basically i just came to see what you are all about...(.genius aside).....and beg beg beg for the request that you get certainly hundreds or thousands of times a year....."is there any chance of you coming to my area in the near distant future??????????..

I saw you on the flying in a blue dream tour in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan, in the 90's with Paul Lane as an opener and wondered if and how , you would EVER TOP the musical perfection that I feel that you had created up until that point in your career.

Funnily enough...i only got the tickets from a guy that had tried in vain to get me hooked on Slayer and the Hanneman/King duo.

I had always loved Alex Lifeson of Rush and Jimmy Page of Zep for their pioneering in the guitaric arts and tried my best to emulate them whenever possible.........

Then came Mr Satriani. I thought i had witnessed so much as far as the Guitar was concerned until that point.....Steve Morse(who i STILL worship till this very day), Tom Scholz....for the Rockman among other things.....And Steve Vai....how funny that i never really knew who you were till i was informed that Steve WAS indeed a student of yours.

To make a long story short(like you 've never heard that one posted yet here...lol)......the influence that you have on my life , Mr.Satriani( and that's the only thing that i feel appropriate to say to you....Mr ...Sir etc).....\
