It also seems to have become something rather seriously transcendental, at least to some minds, following my only too brief friendship with musician extrordinaire Fred Kasper (1952-2000). We had many philosophical discussions, usually after several hours of playing duos from 18th century facsimiles. Some of those thoughtful back-and-forths touched on the soul and its possible survival and journey, about all of which he was quite skeptical. I nonetheless dedicate Ritorno to my friend, wherever and whenever he may be, as a kind of last word on the subject. Well, not last if I was correct!
