    Around mid May, I had the once in a lifetime opportunity of meeting my ultimate hero. In Manchester England, he played with his band, The Fourth Dimension. I had an opportunity of getting back stage because the drummer Gary H was my lifelong friend since my days at music college in Leeds. And at 11.27pm on the 6th May I met John McLaughlin. I am the ultimate fan. Saw the original Mahavishnu in 1972, got the albums, played the grooves off the vinyl, then through the various incarnations followed his work. Then I discovered that my college pal from Leeds (Gary Husband, he of Jack Bruce, Level 42 etc etc) was playing with the 4th Dimension. There was my invite. I chatted with John. He's from my village in Doncaster, Yorkshire. He was wonderful. Did the photo ops thing with joy and delight and left me with my life complete. I'm nearly 68, and I felt like this wonderful little lady in the vid. Like meeting Father Christmas for the first time. I can die happy now.

    When I was a teenager, Steve Vai came to "Brent's Music Headquarters" in Fort Myers Florida and gave a guitar clinic. My uncle Danny took me there and had me ask him a question about playing guitar, and I remember Steve was very kind and patient with his answer. I was a little star-struck to be honest. Truth is, I didn't really know how to play guitar, I was only just learning, it was my uncle who was the pro, but my uncle wanted me to ask anyway because he wanted me to experience what it was like to meet the guy you saw on MTV all the time. Steve Vai is a class act.

And he seems to have an amazing almost hyper-focused way of speaking with you. Even when there are several people and fans around. He makes you feel like you are the important person in that room. Great musician and a great guy.

    I met Steve Vai at Harmony house record store on 09/11/2000 and he is the most friendly, kind person in the music business I have met and I've met roughly 50 or more. While I was waiting to have my picture taken with him he told someone a joke and he started laughing so much he looked at me and gave me a knuckled punch on my upper arm without warning. I couldn't believe it, my favorite guitar player, punched my arm. 😆

    Very cool Ellen! What a great experience. A friend of mine, who lives here in Vegas (Guy Mann Dude), hung out with Steve for about six months. Steve was helping him with the guitar. This was probably late 1980's. Back then you had no You Tube to watch and learn from, you had to learn from people you know. Steve was nice enough to spend a lot of time with Guy. Guy went on to become one of the Top 50 world's fastest guitarists in "Guitar World" magazine, with a very successful career.
