I have been wanting to post this for a very long time and was just not able to because I have a very busy schedule nowadays. But I feel it can't wait any longer! I welcome all others who feel the same way to join me!

Yanni, I hope that you will be able to read this when you visit the messageboard next.

I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for EVER doubting you the smallest bit! I should have always believed in you and your music! I have been your fan since I was 10, now I am about to be 18. From all the time from when I was born to present day, not one man has influenced me more about the way I think, believe, and see the world than you! This is not just through your music either, but your teachings and words expressed in your concerts especially at the acropolis. When growing up, while all other kids at my school were listening to music like rap, hip-hop, and metal rock, I was listening to music by a true musical genius of today who has no label! At 10 years old I cried to my very first piece of music "Until The Last Moment." Your beautiful music is the only one that makes me cry. The very first thing that I learned from you that I still believe today, "Life is precious, all of life, and one must try to take in as much of it as possible until the last moment." You are right Yanni, it is truly hard to live life an hour at a time like your wise father. When I hear many make any kind of prejudice comment, I tell my friends around me your words, "As our population increases, our planet becomes smaller and smaller. It's therefore very important that we a learn how to love and accept each other. Whenever that's not possible, let us at least learn how to tolerate one another." See Yanni, you are a gift to this world!
The new music is just amazing! I got to go to your concert! I still cannot believe I got to do so! Not only that, I got to see you UP CLOSE!!! You were not more than 10 feet away from me! It truly felt like a dream. I was mouthing every word of the songs, I hopped up at the end of every song clapping and whooting like all the people on the Concert Event DVD which I wanted to do ever since I got introduced to you! The people areound me must have thought I was some kind of crazy person... :biggrin: More than any of the other voices I have to apologize most to Ender whom I doubted the most. I'm SO sorry Ender! How truly amazing you are! My absolute favorite of yours that I can NEVER get tired of, "Bajo El Cielo De Noviembre!" Nathan, I love Adagio. Leslie, I love The Keeper. Chloe I love Change. Yanni, you did it again! You have created new masterpieces! I am sorry....I am sorry... I am truly sorry for EVER doubting you! I can't wait to see you again in Atlanta!

Yanni and the Voices, God Bless You!
Sebastian

Sebastian, that was so beautifully written from your heart.

I agree that Yanni cannot be thanked enough for all he has done, & the messages sent out to the world, myself included, one way or another. I love his beginnings with instrumental music, but have also enjoyed seeing the evolution, & having recently experienced the last concert, enjoyed it more than I thought possible. I can never get enough of Yanni, through both his music & his philosophies.

I too, thank Yanni; however for myself, I never doubted him for a moment.

Thank you, Sebastian and Linda, for expressing such warm support. It is so nice to read posts like this on our message boards, and we appreciate you taking the time to do so.

I am so HAPPY, Sebastian, that you had the opportunity to see Yanni live. There is just nothing like it, is there?

I was one of those that thought Yanni's music would be ruined with words. I'm glad I took the time to find out the truth. Yanni is still Yanni and he still works his magic!

How lucky we are to be able to hear and enjoy his music and his wisdom.

I hope you can get to another concert soon.

Hey Joy2Yanni,
I went to the Atlanta Concert at the Gwinnett Center and it was the best concert in the entire WORLD!!! I got there like 2 or 3 hours before it got started and was the first person in line! Oh, I cannot WAIT until the next concert!

Hi Anne,
Well actually my Brithday isn't until 6 more months, . I guess I just can't wait to turn 18. March 7 is the exact day. Oh and thank you so much to all of you on the messageboard for your present on the day of the concert, it was so beautiful. That was really sweet of you all, and I have it with all of my Yanni collections.

Hi Sebastian,
What a lovely post to read tonight. I remember reading how excited you were after seeing the Atlanta concert.
Congratulations on your forthcoming special birthday too. When is the big day?

Very nice post Sebastians92. There is nothing like a "LIVE" Yanni concert.

You're so right, Kathy...there is nothing like a "LIVE" concert! After having been to multiple concerts, a family member asked me "You're hearing the same thing each time you go??" YES, YES, YES!!! "Live" is the best way to experience the music, emotions, physical stage AND enjoy watching the people around you enjoy it as much as I am Each concert is unique.

Sebastian, I am so glad you were able to go to a concert this tour! Yanni, the Voices, the orchestra and Management/staff are truly amazing!!!
