My friend the composers name: Yorgos Kazantzis..

- About the greek-thing... honestly.. hope you know the word: Joke...

I agree 100% with you that talent knows no nationality.!

What I meant was that I have never heard of any greek composers... Most classical composers I know are either German, or Austrian.. Beethoven, Mozart..

But as I said. BEAUTIFUL classical music... - and hell yeah., everyone being human, you're right...!

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! Thanx 4 al t photos - I never saw pics of Queen Ingrid as a child or gilr, or older woman before--only those when Pss. Anne-Marie got married, & she was middle-aged. I think she'd hav looked les sever if she shaped & plucked her eyebrows. Som f the later pics show her as a kind & loving woman --those !@@I*** eyebrows prevented showing this 2 much in middle-aged pics. A lady

w charm & grace - & grandmotherNLaw f former American Marie-Chantal Miller!
