Well it was a great Gig!...Overall it went well..Even played with the owner of the Seattle Seahawks Paul Allen andh ecould play too!..videos and pics to follow..also Im in Love with "ORI" Orianthe the former lead guitarist with Michael Jackson...YES THAT GIRL!..and she smelled good too! besides being fine, pleasant, inviting, and conversational with me..and she played her ass off too!...amazing!..Carlos played and laughed and shouted and danced and looked like he was having a good time,so everyone was happy...and Johnny Lang a new up and coming kind of Blues rocker sang and played..he will go far...Michael Shrieve was happy with all of us as well, and Michael still has it!...he IS along with Carlos, musical history in the flesh...and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's..
here is the immediate thing I can post from tonight ..pics and video to follow...

Here is the stage before we played last night..a night to remember!..

Here is one of many photos with Carlos Santana, Orianthi(blonde guitarist) Paul Allen(Seattle Seahawks owner in suit with guitar), Johnny lang(blue shirt),Carlos Santana, Me(in white cape and white shirt), Paoli Mejias, Cindy Blackman-Santana-drums, Farko Dusomev on bass..Carlos was happy and danced and played. I had a great time, and i only had to wait 41 years to get this opportunity to play with Santana...whose name is now on top of my resume...

Here i am with Carlos and Orianthi during rehearsal...

Here is the opening number for the Santana concert...I have 12 videos from this concert...this is called SPELLBINDER by Gabor Szabo..and played by Michael Shrieve band and with Orianthi on guitar...
