It is instelled high above the ground, in the lighting tower in sports stadium and is designed to function at maximum -10°C. We did not expect such cold winters in Lithuania.

Cyril Moshkow writes: “I think that every person who writes about jazz is, this way or that, spammed regularly: there’s hundreds and thousands or artists in the world, and they (or their agents) want gigs.

Read the letter for the USA president written by Felix Contreras:
“Dear Mr. President,
I saw an item in the Washington Post two days ago that indicated that you need some new music to put in your iPod.
