Quote from Mike Likier (The Santanamigos Group on Facebook July 20, 2024): July 5, 1985, the summer going into my senior year of high school, it was a life changer. I wasn't a fan prior, though I knew and liked a few songs from the radio. A friend's older brother had extra tickets, and I was at least curious. I walked away from that show with Carlos as my new favorite guitar player. I was amazed how each player on that stage was a master musician, and at how Carlos was an incredible bandleader, giving them all time to shine, seemingly inspire them to their highest heights. And as much as folks like to goof on Carlos' speeches, it was powerful for my 16 year old self to hear that message of peace and love, which I still hold to my heart today.
