Γεννήθηκα και ζω στην Γερμανία. Ο πατέρας μου, που πρόσφατα έφυγε από την εδώ ζωή, μας είχε πάντα κοντά στην ελληνική μουσική. Δάκρυσα με τις επιλογές που κάνατε. Μου φέρατε εικόνες με τον πατέρα μου στο μυαλό που δεν περιγράφονται. Ταξίδια με το αυτοκίνητο Γερμανία-Ελλάδα με συντροφιά τις κασέτες, μαγνητοφωνημένες από τους δίσκους βινυλίου. Σας ευχαριστώ. Ο Θεός να σας προσέχει.
