Once in a lifetime
Many years ago, my students advertised one of my Peace Concerts as a “once in a lifetime” experience. For me, my trip to Russia was a once in a lifetime experience!About a month ago, I received a verbal invitation to participate in my most Beloved President Gorbachev’s 70th birthday celebration in Moscow. The following week, I received a letter from the President’s daughter Irina requesting me to come for her father’s birthday. Then, a week later, another letter of invitation arrived. This time it was from President Gorbachev himself. This kind of supremely significant event happens only once in a lifetime, so I went.
Russia is a totally different country with a different atmosphere and a different vibration. Everything is different, different, different! I shall relate a few of my experiences and impressions.
