Stephan Mikes: Guestbook

September 2, 2008

Два года назад переехал жить за город в собственный, наконец-то достроенный дом, и сразу же установил там очистную станцию "ТОПАС 10". В "ТОПОЛ-ЭКО" - это та компания, которая делает эти станции, - предложили взять на сервисное обслуживание. В принципе недорого, но я отказался: дай, думаю, попробую сам! Все-таки техника. Четыре раза в год, как положено, включал насос и откачивал накопившийся ил. Это несложно. А тут подошел срок замены мембран у компрессоров Air Mac и промывки фильтров. Я немного волновался: справлюсь ли? Оказалось, что это довольно просто. Удовольствия получил, поковырявшись с отверткой, массу - не отвык, оказывается, на своей высокоинтеллектуальной работе! И семья на цыпочках ходит: тсс! мужик делом занят! - это что-то! Не жалею!

Been a long time since you played with Jim Troll, Ron Yancey and Guy Salvatore but I remember it as if it was yesterday. I would really like to hear you play again. I will be watching if you come close enough to Lakeland for me to get to.

We met you in Mountain Village a few years ago. Bought Jewel of The Lotus and have been doing healing and massage on a vibroacoustic table with it. I have to say, it is an awesome experience for both me and my clients...namaste'

I bought two of your cd's at a show and I listened to them by myself a lot. My husband is legally blind and was loading cd's into the player and happened to put one of yours in the player. When it came on I was afraid he would not like the music and ask me what had happened to my brain......HE LOVES YOUR MUSIC. We both like a wide variety of music, but I am very glad to report he loves your music.

Die Herkunft des Koi

In der heutigen Zeit gezüchtete Kois kommen hauptsächlich aus
Japan, gezüchtet wird aber auch neben Südafrika in Singapur und Israel.
Es kommen gerade in Europa viele neue „Euro“-Mischformen vor, die aus den hochwertigen ‚
Original-Koi’ aus Japan und bei uns ansässigen Koiarten entstanden oder gezüchtet worden sind.

I recently began expressing interest in the sitar, and during a visit to youtube.com, I found a video of your playing. I quickly found your site, and I'm very impressed with your playing.

I'm a little nervous to buy one, since they are expensive, and I would hate to spend money on something that was of poor quality. If you have any suggestions for training, buying, or practicing sitar, please email me!

Love the purity in the music. Love it when you hear the guitar and sitar complementing each other. Great choice of instruments used overall. The simplicity and spontaneously fluid style was very impressive and pleasing to the soul. This is what I call real music. I have become an instant fan after I first heard your music. The sound is very intoxicating. I am anxiously awaiting for more refreshing new music in future. Thanks again for the great music.

Stephen,

I'm so glad I finally found your web site! I saw you performing in a small both in Dunedin, FL during, I think, a Xmas festival back in....1999? I was mesmerized by your music and bought a "Before You See" CD. My wife and I absolutely loved it! It's still one of the favorite CDs in my collection (of over 450). Shortly thereafter, wanting more of your music, I searched for you on the web, Amazon.com, etc., but could find nothing. But today, I'm sitting here burning all my CDs into my computer, came across yours, and decided to search again. No problem this time! I'm going to order another CD right after this post....

September 11, 2005

Hi,
I just bought some CDs from you at the Alexandria art show. After listening to your music, I searched for sitars on ebay. I'm rather impulsive, but I'm also growing older, and so I've learned to temper my impulsive urges. I plat guitar, and I would like to try the sitar, but I don't think I would buy one just yet. I don't want it to collect dust in the closet. Do you have any suggestions for someone who would like to just try it out? By the way, I really love your groove. It's very nice. I'm glad I heard you playing today. I'm sure I'll buy many more of your CDs.

I was drawn in by the beautiful & unique music you were playing at the Aspen Art Fair today. I'm at home now in my little apartment LOVING every moment of your cd's. I only bought two (Best of & Secret Songs of the Sitar Player) and since the fair ended today I guess I'll have to order the rest online. I'd like to add, your bio on the flyer you gave me is wildly impressive. Furthermore I loved when you described the basic tenet of music that your teacher taught you: "What is your intention when you create your music?" I love that! Thanks so much.

Michelle S.

Your picture doesn't do you justice, you look stiff and those Blue eye's can't make thier impact. We met you ~ 2 years ago, bought 3 cd's on the spot, Listen to your music on a daily basis, it's in my favorits. I'll be getting the cd with the horeses on it. I like the deeper background melody.

Best wishes
