“It took me a bit of reflection before I could figure out why the music that you and Oleg provided last evening was so important to me.

“I find that most good music is very entertaining in the moment. However, time with the two of you was a welcome respite from the cares of the world, that I find increasingly worrisome.

“For about an hour, I was able to completely forget about global warming, floods and the circus at Queen’s Park. That unrepresentative government is unravelling the social safety net that has laboriously been put in place over the last 100+ years and it is hacking away at environmental protections that help to mitigate the effects of climate change.

“I find that all of this is very heavy stuff and it was simply laid aside for a while and for that I am very grateful.

“God bless you both in your ministry of music”, TG
