Hi Jon
I was at your concert in Milan, at the Blue Note, friday evening: it was so beautiful, I don't know how to thank you! I need the words of a poet, to say how great you're doing for us.
I guess you'll enjoy this excerpt from Puschkin's "Mozart and Salieri":
"If all
Could feel like you the power of harmony!
But no: the world could not go on then. None
Would bother with the needs of lowly life;
All would surrender to spontaneous art.
We chosen ones are few, we happy idlers,
Who care not for contemptible usefulness,
But only of the beautiful are priests."
Thanks again
Simone
