Dear Gigi, this time you really played a bad joke on us. You tiptoed away after shouting your Rock ‘n Roll involving everyone who loved you. I am absolutely proud to have been on stage with YOU and also that you wanted me in your hilarious CDs. I just hope you can sit with Elvis Presley and Guido Toffoletti and put a hand on this world.
