Hi Paul. To be honest, I never could get into Yanni's music, and always equated his songs with the likes of Kenny G and John Tesh, my other admired musicians 'not'. I do admire though, their tremendous commercial success, and acknowledge their huge following, especially amongst the new age crowd. It seems (to me) that Yanni's music relies heavily on the 'big production' extravagenza event itself, and find the music itself uninspiring. Different strokes I suppose and just my opinion (of course), and not meant to offend you, Eric, Claudia, or the many millions of other Yanni fans out there.

Perhaps if I take up crystal healing & meditation I'd grow to appreciate Yanni's music more, or perhaps I just need to 'BE THERE' to check his show out in person to appreciate what he has to offer. Anyway, I guess I'll now have to check to see if there are still tickets available for his May 9th concert date here. I'll be sure to remember to bring along a quartz crystal or two as well. - Scott
