Ok, it's 12:30am and I've just arrived home from what will possibly be my Woodstock. I had the privilege of seeing something truly amazing. To set the scene imagine Steve Morse, Albert Lee, Paul Gilbert, Joe Bonamassa, Blues Saraceno, Randy Jackson, Dave Larue and Steve Vai. Of course no Ernie Ball party goes without the musical foundation of John Ferraro, Jim Cox and Sterling Ball (you may have heard of this man). I don't have any photo's and I made the conscious decision not to take any, what I have is some wonderful memories. I will share a few and hopefully Pete and the other guys will add to this. The first thing that comes to mind is the amazing respect that the people mentioned above have for this company, you can't fake that. The second thing was the incredible music. Ever see Steve Vai play Zeppelin with a Les Paul? I did. Ever see Steve Morse play slide guitar and have Steve Vai match the melody just using the wammy bar? I did, and so did many others. Sterling you have and amazing company and family. I thank you for this memory that will never leave me. I'm sure others will post with their memories and I know pictures were taken as well. Again thank you for tonight and congrats on 50 years in the industry. I'll be 92 when the next 50 rolls along....
