I love hearing from people who have been inspired by music…
Hey Ben,
I’m not sure if you remember, but I was the guitar player you met last Thursday at The Ann Wilson Thing show at City Winery in Nashville, TN. I’m the one who plays in the Deep Purple and Heart tribute bands, amongst other rock and occasionally country things that find me.
I just wanted to get in touch to say it was great meeting you and to let you know I did not forget to check out your site! You guys all put on a killer show. I know I mentioned this a bit when we met but you, Craig, Ann, and Nancy in particular were the initial spark that got me into the whole crazy musician life when I saw you all in Heart as a teenager in 2004. It was like a switch went on and I got hit with a power surge and I just never really looked back.
Anyway, some of the coolest adventures of my life have transpired after a lot of hard work that was fueled by the inspiration you guys provided that night, so I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for doing what you do and doing it so well or God only knows, I might have become an accountant. Haha!
Thanks again for your time. I’m all about networking and keeping an eye out for new gigs and opportunities, so if you ever know of someone looking for a guitarist or bassist in Nashville or elsewhere, I’m pretty mobile, let me know. You can check out my site and some of my work at www.rachelbrandsness.com.
Again, so nice to finally meet you!
