Joe, long time fan, 20 years? Probably one of your biggest most loyal fans. I love all the great guitar work from around the world, but none top your wide ranging emotional mystical expertise.
PLEASE REQUEST YOUR BOOKING PEOPLE TO SCHEDULE A SHOW IN MAINE IN 2011. It would be a highlight of a lifetime to see you in concert. Chronic late stage Lyme disease does not allow me to travel far, and life is hard. Please make my day, my week, my month, my year, my decade....with a one night show in Maine.
Type my name John LaFollette into the youtube search box. You'll see what your inspiration does.....you took me, a lifelong cover club guitarist, into the wildly different world of original instrumental rock live performance Lots of people record at home, but succeeding with it onstage is a completely different much more challenging game. 8 months and probably 50 auditions later, I'm still not finding the quality people I need, so I do live shows with self made backing tracks. The 7 youtube videos are not pro quality, but decent. I am happy to say every single show has been phenomenal. Though it takes me days to recover from each. And I have YOU to thank for all the inspiration. The Satriani blueprint works!
You are the most awesome, and I hope you know. PLEASE do a concert in Maine. There are enough fans here to sell it out. Preferably a venue with seating. Thank you Joe!
