2. Dear Steve/Yusuf .....Happy Birthday.... all the best....you was born to make our world better and passable with yours songs and lyrics...with your deep spirit....thank you....we were in concert in May in Wien from Bratislava, Slovakia with my brother. It was great evening, amazing performance.... We were growing up with your songs, but only with your hits, which were playing on the radio - foreign broadcasting BBC and other. It was not possible tu buy your records in 70s in our country . After 20 years, after velvet revolution i was able to buy finally all your records CD and DVD .I listen them again and again, some from them were like new for me - I never heard before....How can I tell you...., that.... Someone said that just the music is the one and only activity of the human being by which we approach to the nature. You have been and you are the master in this. Thnx for your comeback, because without this your decision I was able to see you never in my life. We love your music. Sorry for my english Darina

13. God gifted you with a wonderful singing voice. You can do God's will with the talent He has given you. Do not be deceived by false God's as in the false God of Islam. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths". Proverbs 3:5-6 Cat...Know that Jesus Loves You!!

14. Outstanding picks! Glaucus' arrangement of Novim's Nightmare for classical guitar deserved recognition both for the arrangement and for instrumental expertise. I actually prefer his arrangement to what you recorded (sorry) because the simplicity of it accentuates the exceptional beauty of the melody. Your other pick clearly belies a love of visual arts and a sun-in-cancer soft spot for home and family. That video is as good as a professional rough-cut! Isn't it amazing to see the creative things folks can do with online videos? I still think the group of ten year olds singing "The Wind" deserves something. It was such a stroke of genius for that teacher to realize that "I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul" is exactly the right amount of spiritual support for a diverse group of young children.
