Mr. Satriani,

My name is Leo Salgado. You will probably never know me, and I will probably never know you personally. Either way, I just wanted to thank you and thank God; for the gift he gave you was meant to make us all feel life with a touch of bliss.

I escaped from a country in war when I was 21, and your music has helped me survive not only that since I was a young kid, but also the restless years of work and studies behind my office cubicle in Washington after my exile.

I just graduated from college, and have done so much of what I dreamt doing. I just wanted to share with you some of that laughter, since your music has been one of those few little things that have kept me up and running.

Keep on rocking Sir!

Best,
