'...a long time ago in silence was born a light, the world was quiet, lifeless...silent. Then one by one, in different colors sparks scattered around, and we were singing , we all were singing the same one song. But long time ago, they forgot who they are.. Beings of light, from one source. My beautiful boy...'' by Ines Trickovic, from ''TALES OF QUIET LANDS AND OTHER STORIES''.

In my career I've played with many singers, both male and female, but Ines is one of a kind. She has a God given perfect sense for timing, impeccable intonation and ability to emotionally capture the audience. That, coupled with her lyrical soprano full of emotions, explains why I said 'one of a kind' in the very beginning. -- Joe Pandur
