LISTENING TO CARLOS SANTANA!!

Late in the fall, I had the chance to go to an industry event in Las Vegas called the Sunset Sessions.  It's a great event centered around launching new artists to radio programmers and music supervisors.  I wasn't there to perform, rather I was there to do some networking and see if I might be able to perform in the future.  I do hope to return at another session, but even if this was the only piece I get...it was incredible!  At the end of the day, Carlos Santana came to the sessions to give a very intimate question and answer session.  I'm not sure how it all worked out, but for some reason I ended up right in the front with an incredible view and got to witness a conversation that was literally life changing for me.  He spoke very intimately about his career, struggles, musical influences, the Grammy's, faith, and much more, including some great stories like the one in the video.  After sitting there for a few minutes, I realized I should get my camera out and start video taping.  This is one of the stories I got on camera...enjoy!
