		<description>Hi Leo, dear! 

Hope you got home safe and sound.
I just wanted to thank you once again. For your music, for the way you communicate, for being so... sweet :) and gifted.

I guess you were not offended that you performed in the first part of our festival (Sat)? We just didn&#039;t want to put 2 guitar-players in the second part of the concert, you know. 

...We were sitting in the bus last night, staring at the front window and not even talking to each other. So impressed by your playing and by the entire fact of having made a really great event. 
And it occurred to me (once again) that one (either a spectator or a promoter or a listener) who falls in love with some music (and musician) always wants, and wants extremely bad, to give something in return for the joy, happiness and pleasure one gets from this music. 

Some spectators (one of a &quot;groupy&quot; kind) give, mm, Themselves to the musicians; some patrons of the arts give substantial sums of money; journalists write inspired reviews...

I am not a groupy :) (Though - ...:)))) Ok, I&#039;m kidding. 
I do not possess a fortune to express my gratitude in exact zeroes on banknotes. And my English is not good enough to write a review that could be &quot;helpful&quot; for you :) I can write something worth reading in Russian only. And everything I can give you in return - I just can say OGROMNOE SPASIBO. And say that we felt we live not in vain, if we can reveal your music to people who never heard it. 
And ask you to please get back some day. 

P.S. Yura found the proper Russian variant for &quot;helpful&quot;. It&#039;s &quot;услужливый&quot;, &quot;usluzhlivy&quot;. And - yeah, my email is tet@list.ru.</description>
