Question for you...it is EVH related but please excuse me if this is too personal.
With all those wonderful experiences you had with Edward when you were a child, it obviously influenced you in a big way. Conversely do you think those experiences influenced him? Did that impact Ed and Val’s desire to have a family of their own? Have you spent time or reached out to Wolfgang?
One other thing....Ed was the first person to reach out to you after your father passed. Just a few days later there was a ceremony at the RockWalk for Jimmy Page which you and Ed attended (along with a whole bunch of legends). In the footage available on YouTube you can clearly see Edward has his laser-like attention on you and he NEVER leaves your side. With all the pomp and ceremony going on he was only there for you in that moment. To an outside observer it is a beautiful nurturing thing to see.
I was born in 1970 &, in my early teens, was listening to Van Halen on my Walkman while delivering newspapers, riding BMX bikes, & playing baseball. It was practically right from little-league that I headed into learning guitar. Knowing/hearing that you had a little-league game the day after EVH came to your house, put me in first-person perspective for a second when I heard that. That must have been CRAZY levels, upon CrAzY levels, of sustained adrenaline!!
So, I just have a couple of questions but I'd love to hear more of your detailed perspectives...can't hear 'em enough...
1) During that visit, at your house with your Dad, Steve Vai, and Edward with his purple guitar, how did you actually harness your excitement enough to focus on any of it?
2) (Knowing that most of us will never know what it was like to visit 5150...) What was it physically like to visit 5150...actual sights, sounds, etc... Was it overwhelming?
I am now realizing that I was about to ask Dweezil Zappa what Van Halen music smelled like. Good form on my part, good form.
Thank you so much for everything you're doing!! Einar (Billy)
Track 13, Yo Mama on "Dweezil Zappa F.O.H." is cut short. Can you please upload the full version so I can buy it? The EVH stuff is real cool, however, please don't forget to post more of your live music archives. Hope all is well.

Hi ,
How does that Carstens Cab sound with the Grace amp?
It sounds killer! It's made like the cab EVH used on VH 1. JBLs in the top and Celestions on the bottom.

So psyched to tune in for this Dweezil! My alarm is set!
Track 13, Yo Mama on "Dweezil Zappa F.O.H." is cut short. Can you please upload the full version so I can buy it? The EVH stuff is real cool, however, please don't forget to post more of your live music archives. Hope all is well.
I'll definitely fix that ASAP! Thanks.
