funny story.

one time my dad came over YEARS ago and I happened to be listening to Vai.

he goes out of the blue...this sounds like that scene in CROSSROADS.  I was floored because the movie was like 15 years old at the time...and
it's not like he knows Vai or what makes him unique.  I was really impressed but my dad actually has always been a BIG music fan but more like the British blues and early rock
