Virtuoso King

Hello everyone,

Today I just wanted to talk about music and how it stays with us throughout the years. Ever since I was a little kid music was a big part of my life. I grew up listening to Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Grand Funk, to name a few. My dad was a big part of that due to the fact that this was the music he listened to and it got me into that style of music as I grew. About a week ago, I took my dad to see Joe Satriani live at Massey Hall. I had seen Satriani twice before so I knew how crazy the show was going to be, but my dad was blown away! I could tell he was feeling like a teen again when he and a bunch of older guys watching the concert were going nuts, and all we did was talk about all the bands he had went to go see growing up and how he sang in a band for a while back in his days. I also remember the time my dad insulated the whole garage for my band to play so that we wouldn't freeze our asses off in the dead of winter:) I always had that support to pursue my music and it helped me stick to it over the years.
I must say, it was great to hear Satriani play again and I can honestly say he is the best guitar player I have ever heard or seen live! His balance of paying with feeling and technicality is what makes him so unique in my opinion. I think my main point here is that it's a nice thing to be able to share that connection of music with my dad, and as a whole, with everyone around me including DESOLATE RAGE.
