Happy Birthday Carlos Santana

Today July 20, 2015 marks Carlos Santana's birthday and I plan to celebrate his birthday with lots of great music. It is a bonus to have back to back great guitarist birthdays like Brian May and Carlos. So I will open up the music with a song called "Winning."

He has won multiple Grammy Awards, the majority of them coming later in his career with collaborations like this one with Rob Thomas..

As you can see Carlos Santana has been very "smooth" over the years. his career has gone a long way since Woodstock when he performed "Soul Sacrifice"...

Here he is with Michelle Branch with "The Game of Love"..

I hope you enjoyed your visit. I will be back tomorrow with the winners post of my Battle of the Bands post.

A to Z: Guitar and Piano

Last week I was able to review a concert that featured just a guitarist and pianist. Only two instruments were used during the concert a grand piano and a classical guitar. The instruments were in good hands as the guitarist was Al Di Meola and the piaist was two time Grammy Award winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba. You can read my review here.

Here they are performing together at a different show...

Here is Gonzalo Rubalcaba prforming by himself...
