I highly appreciate the support of Udo Kistner at the recording sessions and thank him a life long for being a generous musical and mental advisor / godfather for many including myself. And in the same way will I never forget the great Costa Mantatzis(†30.11. 2006) for being the most generous and loveliest guitar teacher and friend and 'malaga' of Offenbach and the rest of the world !
