It's Steve Vai's 50th Birthday. In this tribute blog entry, I talk about his Innovations, His Music & Playing, What It All Meant To Me, and then share some excerpts from an old email conversation we had.

That article was great to read. I love how you talked about finding an escape through music. I also think Steve Vai is great. I'm currently learning his song Get The Hell Out Of Here.
