...anyway, as I'm perusing FB this morning, I see that one of my friends from a guitar forum went on a trip to Germany. He posted a couple pics of flying over the Alps and other things, and then as I scroll down I see this:



What are the odds that a person becomes a guitar player, learns some Joe Satriani, then many years later he goes to Germany on vacation, only to walk down the street to go have dinner and meet Joe Satriani along the way? Pretty fucking slim I tell ya.
Very serendipitous, that's so awesome. I got to see Joe in concert for free. I was handed the tickets from some keyboard salesman in Guitar Center who was suppose to give them away but didn't. I too was calculating the odds of me walking into a guitar shop and someone plopping free tickets in my hand, and asked him a few times '...are these free?' '...are they for me?' An added bonus was discovering that Steve Morse was Satch's opening act.
