How sad. I started dancing to Donna Summer’s music in Iran, when I was around 12 or 13 years old – Almost 40 years ago! How time flies.
I still remember feeling a bit embarrassed when I was playing “Love to Love you Baby” and my father entered the room. The “ah-uh” in the song seem to take forever, and I was wondering if my father knew what was going on. Little I knew then that my father did not need to speak English to realize what was going on.
Donna Summer’s earlier musics in particular, have always brought a smile to my face. I have multiple copies of some of her recordings, always in hunt for a flawless LP.
Disco days are still in my blood. Yes, I have come to appreciate and love Pegolessi and Xenakis, Ella, and John Zorn, Iva Bittova, and Malcolm Goldstein, and obviously Nami’s music. But Donna Summer has kept her special price in my heart and on my LP shelves.
Thanks for the joy you have given me Donna. Rest in Peace, Donna.

In line with my goal to take SORA to one new country per year, taking his majesty to Spain and Portugal. SORA is learning Spanish at school. The pressure is on him to guide us.
As always I am an email, or a phone call away from you. Immediate shipping on all products. And always a pleasure hearing from you.

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.

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.

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.
