Hello Benny!

I met you and Bobbie during the Festival mentioned above. And I met you again about a week ago in Helsinki at Birdland Jazzclub. I showed you these photos, wich I sent to you and Bobbie about 22 years ago by post, but it seems that you never got them. Here they come, and I hope they will reach you this time! The best and warmest regards to you and Bobbie, and thanks for a wonderful concert!

Sincerely Yours, Göran Rökman, Helsinki
