One of the longer lasting marriages in Rock came to and end in the fall of 2007 when Deborah Santana filed for divorce 34 years after she and guitarist Carlos Santana tied the knot.  Friday (7/9) near Chicago, Carlos paused after his drummer and girlfriend Cindy Blackman completed a solo four songs into his set at the MidWest bank Amphitheater to ask her to marry him.  Blackman, appearing to be blindsided by the marriage proposal, agreed and the bride-to-be gave Carlos a kiss.  The spiritual guitarist released a statement saying, 'Cindy and I are blessed to have found each other', and calling love, '...a gift from the universe', he vowed to have their marriage serve as a force to help '...tip the balance toward more love in the world'.
