"You touched my soul with your incredible music. I’m 48 years old and have been a fan since I was 13 years old. Meeting you and Michael Anthony on a snowy night in Louisville, KY when I was 20 made me believe in dreams. I know you are flying with the greats. I just wish I had a chance to thank you officially. Regardless, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being an almost 40 year continual inspiration to me."
