“I have lived ten lives,” he always told me, “and the love I have received cannot be compared to any gold in the world!”
And just before we finished this book, the bad news about his health came. I saw him after the surgeries quite weakened, but determined to live and happy that everything had gone well.

Nothing hidden from the world that loved and exalted him as a great folk singer!
