Touching surprise...

Written By Krzysztof Jablonski

Krzysztof Nieborak, my close friend from school and wonderful guitarist himself, has surprised me today by posting this video on my Facebook. Krzysztof! Thank you! I didn't even remember I recorded this TV recital.

It was roughly 30 years ago. I was still 20 or maybe already 21-years old. Recorded by Polish Television. Mrs. Halina Pniewska and Mrs. Irena Sobierajska were my long time supporters and fans, and I did record a lot of music for TVP during those years. They are probably buried somewhere in TVP archives...

Krzysztof recorded it on a VHS Recorder at that time, and converted it now to make it usable again! What a journey to the past...
