Hi Trygve, first of all thanx for having me among your myspace friends'list. I had the pleasure this last saturday to hear You and your fantastic ensemble in Cagliari for the EJE Festival,it was the first time i heard your music and it has been a great discovery in music,a very deep and intense travel in a music full of colors and emotions,where everything stood in perfect harmony,one of those concerts you would like it'd never finish and it has been really hard after that to hear the rest of the festival,in my humble opinion it has been the best concert of all the 3 days festival and one of the best projects i heard in my town in the last years and i'll sure push the organizers to invite you again for the next editions of the festival cos it was a real shame many people i know would have loved your performance weren't there this time. Have a great week full of musical inspiration. Marcello
