I, first off, have to say I haven't seen this yet, but I will!!! I was so amazingly blessed when you blew my mind that momentous day on September 4th, 1982 afternoon. It wasn't Woodstock (I was too young for that) but US Festival '82 was my Woodstock. I was 24, but naïve to most the bands at that time in my life. Even so, I had been to the California Jam (April 6, 1974) when I was just a junior in high school. Nevertheless, when you came onto the stage and played that guitar, I was mesmerized and you had my complete, undivided attention.
Carlos Santana, you were bar none, the most memorable, heart and soul awakening to music I had ever experienced. To this day, no other band has made such an impact on my soul. I know no other way to reach out to such a legend as you, but to tell you my story of how you impacted my life in just a few hours.
I'm certain that all who have experienced your unique music have been touched, if not changed, by your talent, your skill. You're a gifted man, an icon, with a beautiful, natural ability to touch hearts and lives.
I can't wait to see this new release. Dude, you rock! <3.
