I was going to mention he was a SUPER Star 30+ years before this song was ever recorded. I been listening to Santana since 1972 when I got into ROCK and ROLL instead of the POP of the times but all about growing up.. I am going to be going to See Carlos here at the Shoreline in Mt.View is August I can not wait I have seen Santana 14 times. since 1977

If you want to see more Rob Thomas check out ‘Daryl’s House’. It is Daryl Hall (Hall and Oats) who has this rustic house up in Vermont (I think) with a jam studio in it. He has a group of session musicians that normally perform with him and then he brings in all these top name performers and performs their songs with them. Rob Thomas is one of them and it’s fantastic. Also has Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Joe Walsh, Tommy Shaw (Styx), and countless others. All great shows!

My mom used to take my little sister and me out of school, to drive out of state to see Matchbox 20. My sister was probably only 7 and didn't understand why she needed to miss school for a concert. Fast forward 23 years later (about 2 months ago) and my sister told my mom and me we were going to have to miss work - SHE dragged US to a Matchbox 20 concert! It was quite the surprise. All these years later and Rob still sounds great and the band put on an awesome show.

Did you really help brighten my day, and I love all of your insights is it music that I’ve grown to love through the years… She was my second wife and I really worked hard to get her and I never imagined…it… cancer taking her away from me;the cruelest thing in the world is to have to live with a broken heart for the rest your life(mine) and I’m not that old.

This may not appeal to you, but another performer that lit up my life for many years was Jimmy Buffet. He passed last week at 76 and a large piece of sunshine faded away. You cannot listen to Jimmy without smiling. Any of his songs Margueritaville, Fins, Come Monday, or my husband’s favorite, A Pirate Looks At 40, will make you smile. He was also one of the happiest people I ever met. We saw him in the grocery store in Key West one time. Said he had people coming over and he had a basket full of salad greens. Everyone called him Jimmy. He had a gift for making people happy. It was contagious! Thank God for recording equipment. He will make people happy forever.

Once dated a younger man following a horrid divorce that was NOT amicable. My handsome, hot younger man assigned this song to me before we even dated while on a group lunch and he eventually wished to marry. Though a painful end while still in-love it always brings a smile to my mind's eye and I'm smiling right now as I watch you smile. One weekend we went to Cedar Point as it was a favorite place for me and I hadn't been in a long time. Cedar Point had terrific music everywhere to listen while in those unGodly lines waiting. Maybe, we saw you there but I was so wrapped-up in him...I wouldn't have noticed. LOVE THIS SONG...A favorite for me, too.

In 1977, nine year old me was handed down a console stereo from my uncle. For those not familiar with a console, it was a massive piece of polished wood furniture with a hinged table top that concealed a turntable, an AM/FM receiver and an 8 track tape deck with massive speakers built into the front, complete with red velvet grille covers and colored backlights that flashed to the bump of the music. This thing took up a lot of real estate in my bedroom, but was my prized possession at the time. My first 8 track tape was Santana Festival. I literally wore this tape out to the point it didn’t function anymore. To this day, whenever I hear Let The Music Set You Free, I anticipate the half second pause and “click” part way through the song when the tape would advance to the next track and continue the song 😅😅😅.

Nice to hear from you. I love Carlos Santana. Smooth does not get old. I loved the performance you featured. Smooth introduced me to Rob Thomas. I love beautiful voices of pure voiced singers, but interesting voices like Rob Thomas are my favorites. Dolly Partons performance you featured, The Animals “House of The Rising Sun” and, of course,ANYTHING Freddie Mercury. Two other suggestions just for your own enjoyment. Rod Stewart did an album of old standards(which was a real change for a rocker). I don’t know the name of it, but these songs are usually sung by “pure voiced singers”. His tendentious are very special. The other singer is Peggy Lee. She is what they used to call a “saloon singer”. Blues is her specialty Very sultry voice. “Is That All There Is?” Is a good one of hers. Also “Fever” and “All right, Okay, You Win”. I don’t know if you would want to play any of these on your show, but you might enjoy them for personal listening. I love your show and your analyses of the performances.
