For Michael Angelo Batio

[reaguirre]

Dear Michael, I wish everyone would pronounce your surname correctly. I have the same problem with people mispronouncing mine and it really bugs me. One other man: Yngwie Malmsteen, shares your magnificent techinique and impeccable taste for melody. Both of you are excellent musicians. I have a lot of practicing to do, because both of you are phenomenal. If I record something in the next year or so, I'd like to send a cd to you for your critical revision and recommendations. Contratulations on perfectly executed technique and tasteful melody. Both You and Yngwie play guitar the way it should be played and are the inspiration for my continued effort. Rafael E Aguirre

I'm not making fun of you or your name or anything, it just seems a bit odd...

Remember Teenage Ninja Turtles?

Well one of the characters names was Michaelangelo (at least I think it was) which is quite similar to Michaels name and another was Rafael which is the same as your name

now you kinda see what I mean... kinda ironic ;D

Lol, the turtles are taking over! How is batio pronounced???Also is yngwie pronounced "ing-vee"?

As far as the Mutant Ninja Turtles- What can I say that hasn't already been said? My last name "Batio" rhymes with the word "radio". Said at normal speed it sounds phonetically like this- Bay-tee-o.
