  Title : My son and West  
         
  QUESTION:  
 
My first son was born on 14 February 2003. He and my wife are okay. Since I love Menza's drumming, I have named my son Menza Fadiyan Amriel.

More importantly, I have been totally impressed by your play in Scenes, especially West. The composition sounds very exotic and it brings an excelent nuance when played at nights. I keep wondering where you got inspiration from when writing such a beautiful song.

My wife loves West too. Her comment is that she sometimes hear the sound of West flowing from her heart to her ears, without someone is playing the music.

We both are truly inspired by West; therefore, we are committed to dedicate this song to our son.
By listening to West, we hear and see a wave of spirituality.

Last night I have planned to contact you, telling you about this story. Is there a way that my wife and I can do to get something authentic from you. That something has to reflect the beauty of your music, manifest the majestic of West.

Tell me, Marty.

Thank you
 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
All I can say is "WOW" and thanks! I don't know what I was thinking of when I wrote the music, but the title came frome a cigarette ad (of all things) in Europe that had a gorgeous landscape photo. And there you have it! Best of luck to you and your family.
