Dear Mr. Satriani,
Knowing your time is extremely limited I’ll hop straight to the point. While watching your many stage performances on Youtube, something came over me to attempt to put words to your song (ten words). I was doing my stretching exercises and thought of ten words that (sort of) fit. After that, I was hooked~! Finishing that song for my fiancée, I soon began on others.
Obviously, you pour your heart into your work, which makes me wonder what’s going through that mantle of yours as you play, which also helped with inspiration toward putting lyrics to some of your work. That, and of course the titles themselves were a big clue.
Simply for your enjoyment, (and my voracious curiosity) would you allow me the honor of having you see if the lyrics somewhat match the mindset which you had intended for a specific song?……………..Please???
Having the gifted, and very busy musician, Sir Satchmo, actually do this, would truly be a treat to always remember~!
Warm Wishes to You and Yours,
Ray Alford Jr.
Ps. You’re a funny guy~!!!
