Dear Will,

it's always surprising how much events that happened so long ago are still present in our memories, be they good or sad.

This tribute to Estrid reflects your feelings towards her and her fate so much more than words could say - it simply says it all.

Although they only have that saxophone part in common I very soon had to think of a song I haven't thought of for a very long time, 'The Death Of J. B. Lenoir', by John Mayall, which has always been the most forcedul tribute song I've ever heard. That one and yours are different but both convey a very intense feeling of deep sorrow.

It's somehow strange to say that you 'lie' a sad tribute song like yours, but it sturred me up.

All the very best,

Stefan
