I still remember seeing this guy's ad for Ibanez guitars in Guitar Player magazine, and being very intrigued by it. I was on a cd buying spree at the time, and was learning to play the guitar, as well. I called around to a bunch of music stores in the Metroplex, and found just one store that had this new release cd. As a consequence of my obsession with buying all the great Rock and Jazz Fusion cds that I could get my hands on, I suppose that, just by dumb luck, I happened to be one of the very first handful of people to hear Satch's music (at least in Dallas). Anyways, I put the cd in my trusty Sony cd player, and this was the first thing that I heard. I then had tremendous difficulty picking my jaw up off of the floor. I also felt an overwhelmingly strong urge to toss my guitar into a wood chipper.
