Love of his Life
We know that on at least one occasion, rock guitar legend Carlos Santana did what PT listeners do every day. He tuned his car radio to a classical music station. One of the tunes he heard that day jumped out and grabbed him, wouldn't let go. He had no idea what it was. After a little detective work and with the help of a record store clerk, Santana solved the mystery. We'll hear that tune, from Johannes Brahms' Third Symphony, and the sultry, smoky version Santana incorporated into his "Love of my Life."
