This has been for decades my best friend, my best consolation during dark times. 

Believe me, I had so much suffering from mid september until now, albeit I did a great recording session and get better musically every day I grow more, but  it was just such a bizarre year with such an extreme mixture of tormented soul, suffering, tears, to the highest peaks of enjoyment and love, it made me very very thin but strong on piano.

This music, the HEALING SONG is what I needed now that there is hope for a glimpse of "normal life" again, and it is what I needed, I listened closely to each note of this most wonderful music and it let my tears flow, and flow and flow, streams of tears, believe me !

Ah, man, I hope for many healing days to come, Gheorghe.

Thank you so much !

Well, Pharoah Sanders´s music is my best friend, it has been since my early teens. My consolation if I am depressed, my companion for most sublime happiness. 

Anyway, I have gone thru many things, but this year has been a roller coaster of emotions from deepest desparation and sadness, and moments of ultimate happiness, where I felt on top of the world. 

Today I´m much better than yesterday. Pharoah shares this happiness with me, as I have spinned this wonderful record. 

And I want to state: This year, among my creative outburst due to all those extreme feelings, one of my new originals is titled "Tune for Pharoah" and will be on the album that will be out early next year. We recorded that tune and other tunes with a great singer, Miss Lili Mae, who had made her own record with the late, great Jim Rotondi. The masters sound great. This was 2 days of happiness in the studio and on gigs, really. But you go out of the studio, and you finished a gig, and the demons come back.....that´s life......
