Hello Joe!! . My name is Rene, and I am big fan from Panama City, Panama (Latin America). I had the pleasure to watch you play twice in Los Angeles, CA, while I was in grad school there. Amazing experience! I wish I had a backstage pass! :)

Joe, just wanted to say that last wednesday my wife gave birth to our first baby girl. Besides being a proud father, what I wanted to share with you is that, in our way home from the hospital we jumped in the car, and I happenned to have your live CD in the car audio system, that I had been listening during those days. When my wife, my baby girl, and I got in the car, I turned on the audio and there it was ... Cool #9, just starting. I have to say that it was the first entire song my baby girl listened, from start to finish! It was a 4-5 min drive to our home from the hospital, and right after I pulled into the garage, the song ended.

I will remember this moment forever. I will tell her "the very 1st song you heard is from Joe Satriani, Cooll #9, in our way home from the hospital ... " How "Cool" is that! ?

Greetings, from a Panamanian Fan in Latin America!
