Dear Tony!

This is a very very sad day for me.

I went to my office this morning as usual, but I haven't done anything today except putting up a white candle beside a great photo I snapped of you in your pyjamas while playing the Hammond B-3 organ at Hell Blues Festival in 1997. I have been looking at you for hours today, crying while I'm listen to your music.

I remember the first time we met in the early 90s. Bernie Marsden had told you about Hell, Hell Blues Festival, The Blues In Hell and a strange character called Kjell. The first thing you said to me first time we met was "So you are the bloody bastard from Hell, I already love you, darling." I am so pleased that you let me be your close friend and you will forever have a very special place in my heart. I know we will meet again!

My thoughts go to Sandra & Indira, I'll be seeing you!!

In Tony's own words: "I love you, darling"

God Bless!

Kjell Inge Brovoll
