Over the course of my life, I've met a lot of people who have inspired me. Very rarely, however, do I get to meet face to face with my personal, musical heroes.
I can probably count on one hand the number of times when I have actually had a chance to interact, one on one, with those famous individuals who have inspired me to no end.
