A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE IN ASHDOD..

I had magnificent time performing at the Israel International Super Jazz Festival Ashdod organized and produced by Leon Patashka, who is also a great pianist and one of the most respected musicians there. Filmed for television, each night was sold out and the audiences truly loved the music. I also met lots of very talented musicians, beautiful people and expect many great things in the future. I'll post pictures tell you more about it after the weekend~~~GeoJO

Festival is usually celebrated with the presence of music.What would life be without music? The world would be a very quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of our lives and the definition of society. It is a reminder of how things once were, an indication of how things are, and a view of where society is headed. Music is a direct reflection of the picture of society. Music can be a way to deliver messages, a poetic medium, a fine art, or nothing more than a source of entertainment. A DJ who has recently passed away will be remembered by his way of delivering music to people.The suicide of DJ AM wasn't something that anyone really saw coming. He was only 36 years old, he was relatively famous, successful, he had everything going for him, and they've been speaking to anyone who will discuss it that knew him. He was dating model Haley Wood at the time, and though it would seem that a person should perhaps be left to her grief – the vultures are what they are, and had to get a statement. Haley Wood disclosed that rumors that DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, and her were very much together, and a rumored breakup was a detestable rumor. It would be great if someone could give the gossip hounds a cash advance to let celebrities, like Haley Wood, grieve in privacy.
