Influences: The ever changing and unpredictable enigma of life! My close family and friends (and their life story..), relationships, definetely Timmy my dog (My true hero!), all musicians with whome I played in the past and present and all great ones whome I had a chance to listen and learn from, plastic artists, story tellers, landscapes, power of nature, animals, big hearts when it counts, people with courage, positivity...Well, the list can go on, but besides the so called 'negative' experiences are also part of life's circle.Probably some forgotten friend from primary school, like my stone-throwing friends..(that's what people do in the middle east in their free time...No, that's mostly a joke!) would get frustrated not being on the list ....ah, words, words... Let's sumarize say that Music is definetely a reflection of your life and soul, and hopefully not too much of your mind! (although there is some space for it too..). In any case, I LOVE YOU!!! ..and that's what matters. :)
