Words of Welcome

Greetings and Thanks

I welcome everybody, who has visited my site. Life of a man can go on in different ways; there can hardly be found similar biographies or ways of life, or creative routes. Perhaps any life consists of many steps or periods both big and small and the aim of any progressive thinking person is to strive from one period for another, the better and the higher one. Nevertheless at any step (may be even at the last one) there comes a day when it is necessary to look back at the previous period of life and to remind the people and the meetings with those great people who have been nearby during all you life. I am convinced that in the fate of every person whether he is a musician or of another occupation there exist such people who somehow or other accompanied him and helped him to become professional in different periods of his life. Here on this page I would like to express my thanks, gratitude and appreciation to all those people who have played a very important role in my life, who have made of me what I am today.
