About Me

"Occasional touch" was recorded on June 15th 2006 during the European Conference of Junior Chamber International in Tallinn/Estonia.
Approximately 300 conference participants had chosen to reveal their dreams and desires on their registration sheet. And my dream - recording one of my own songs together with professional musicians in a professional music studio - came true, together with three other dreams.
Thank you to the Conference Team, JCI Estonia, and Downtown Studios Tallinn with all the musicians involved who made everything possible!
Watch the "documentary" of the recording:
...and one year after, back in Estonia, a little tribute to my friends over there with the ukulele - "Everything is possible":
*MUSIC TOP FRIENDS OF THE MONTH * MARCH & APRIL: LATIN AMERICA*
As you all know there are lots of good bands & artists around. So I decided to dedicate most of my top friends places to bands from a special part of the world - each month a different.
This and next month it's time for Latin America (without Brazil, it was already their turn).

Duane Michals

The lyrics of the song are a poem by Duane Michals, one of my favourite photographers. Here you can get an impression of his work and style: http://www.pdngallery.com/legends3/michals/11.html...
