Fanfare Ciocarlia — Romanian Gypsy Music in Chicago
Just got back from an amazing concert. These people were so generous with their talent and time. Of course I bought the only two vinyl recordings they had brought with themselves.

Visiting Hans Kortenbach of Musical Affairs
My dear friend Alex and I drove to Hans and Kikie’s house, enjoying their hospitality – great dutch lunch and great conversation. Last but not least, listening to Hans’s latest masterpieces. Hans never ceases to impress me, with his positive attitude and his talent. Always wanting to improve himself and help others.
Visiting DaVinci Audio in Berne
Had a delightful two days with Peter, Jolanda and Sandro in Berne, Switzerland, at the DaVinci Audio Atelier.
We listened to great music on Peter’s latest creations Nifty, and Virtu lines of DaVinci Audio. Peter is a man of ideas who never compromises on quality. At the end what matters to him is the sound, the music and the culture of music.
Left Berne with more love for DaVinci people and a couple of kilos extra weight – in my belly.
Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, and France
SORAsound will be visiting associates in Zurich/Berne, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris.
Looking forward to seeing my dear friends from DaVinci Audio, and Hans Kortenbach of Musical Affairs. They both have new products that I will be checking out. There are also a couple of surprise visits and new products to announce.
Also looking forward to another great dinner at Fischers Fritz in Berlin and hunting new places and records. Berlin remains one of my favorite places to listen to some great music, be it a smoky jazz lounge where I cover my nose, or a stuffy concert hall. Last time I was there, I missed Nina Hagen by one day. I know some who may leave the country altogether to avoid her. As for me, I love her music and respect her talent much.
As always, my dear friends – it does not matter where I am. Always a phone call or an email away from you.
