Hi Sandi,
So happy you enjoyed Mario's samples.I was just informed from Amazon UK that my CDs are on their way.
Exciting news.One of our fans from Greece bought her album,in
Greece and when she read the pamphlet she rushed to the computer to tell us this" Dear fans from all over the world I am happy to send my love
for your support and especially to Josephina Lim who has her own battle
now.Our Josy has been battling the big C and is doing well.Somehow
I reached him and told him about her condition and he wrote to her-a
beautiful letter which I'm sure helped her on the road to recovery.
How can I not spread the word about such a man with such superb
character and the qualities of a caring person. He has the same qualities
as our Andrea and I will always support the both of them.
Sincerely Dottie

WOW! Thats incredible Dottie! Quite moving. Yes, it takes such little effort in life to make such a difference for another human being. Andrea and Mario are to be commended for their hearts and their nature. Will they ever fully know how much their human side extra efforts effect the lives and hopes of others? I really think not. How could they possibly ever fully know. The beauty is though, they do these things with sincerity and humbleness and thats the real act of giving. Both men are from good stock obviously. Mixed with their own grandioso hearts that are their very own. They are good - gooood men with beating hearts that feel deeply. They sure get the mark of respect in my book too, Dottie. God love them both! I have to tell you, I always loved Mario's music before, but for the last many months now, when I play him, that enjoyment is even intensified because of you and swear to God, I think of you every time one of his songs come on (I like to have my music mixed on shuffle on my computer - songs and artists bounce all over the place, although I keep "like themes/styles of music" in their respective files.) Everytime Mario pops on... I think of you on the double....ehehe!

Melodie, may i be bold enough to say that Sony improved Mario's
site (not much) but you may listen to his new album
http://www.mariofrangoulis.com
It is maddening that we cannot buy this CD in US until 2005
But--Amazon UK has it now

http://www.hmv.co.uk Melodie you are the best! Dottie

The CD was waiting for me in my mailbox! I almost forgot to check it out! I am listening to it now (I was going out but that can wait). It's absolutely beautiful. I don't want to make more comments and spoil the fun for the rest. Love it! :D (Thanks for letting me know about this new release).
Love,

P.S. I have to mention that amazon.co.uk exceeded my expectations. The CD was supposed to be shipped today and arrive in 5-6 days. And the price is lower than the one offered by the other web site.

This is Mario's message from the linear of the CD:

"FOLLOW YOUR HEART is, for me, a very personal album and while listening to it, you will know why! After traveling the world on SOMETIMES I DREAM, my first album, I wanted to look inward this time. The result is an album that I hope reflects my most profound feelings about life and puts across my views about friendship and love, family and patriotism. I hope, in some way, to be a part of another World where the ideals are high, where people respect you for who you are and not for what you do or how successful you are, a world with no judgements or prejudice. Making this recording has been hard work, but that work has given me the most meaningful pleasure. I have been inspired by all the people who fill my life today, and by those I've lost who remain in my heart. For me, music is the greatest gift you can give to someone because music is life and life is love and honestly, I live for making good music."

Then, he thanks to many people for their support, guidance, help, etc. and goes on with:

"My greatest reward has been the love of my fans around the world. I salute them, with special affection for Josefina Lim who is fighting her own battle."

And finished with these words:

"Let us keep the torch of the Olympic spirit alive. Here’s to all the heroes, in and out of our lives… to our friends and enemies… to life and to love… to peace in the World and to my loving country, Greece!"

Thank you Nellie for that inspiring message from Mario.He just had a very much loved aunt who passed awy recently.This is really him speaking. When fans went to Greece last year to his concert, he singled each one out and had a photo with each.That is why we support him and wait until 2005 for his tour in the US, Dottie

Valentine's Day, eh? He wouldn't have mentioned somewhere in the midwest by any chance? unofficially, of course...
