Thank you for the very beautiful comment. In fact, it came and comes in every performance from the heart, so when it reaches another...well, that's what it's all about. Best wishes, Joel (EPM)

Your interpretations of his music are simply wonderful. His fragility is captured perfectly as is his lyricism. Thank you.
