20 years "Songs from Energy of Slaves"

Post by Henning »

In September 2023 I celebrated the 20th anniversary of my "Songs from Energy of Slaves"

It's a labour of love and I send it to you for free. If you are interested in a copy just send me a private text.

Christmas greetings from Germany.

Henning



Via Jarkko Arjatsalo in 2003 I sent a copy to Leonard.

"Dear Henning,

Thank you so much for setting some of the poems from "Energy of Slaves" to music. It is a very touching production, and I appreciate it. I appreciate your understanding of the book and the sincerity of your performance. It brought back to me the original intent of those poems.

Thank you again and warm regards,
Leonard"

Time is flying, but this remains a beautiful work of art. I'm so happy to have it in my LC shelf. Thank you, Henning.

I recommend these songs highly. I got Henning's CD when it originally came out and I still listen to the songs frequently.

A wonderful compilation of songs.
20 years old and still feels fresh to listen to.
My favourite song is Wisdom

Thank you Henning

I love this album, from the first time I heard it, not long after meeting Henning on Hydra. 8)

It’s so good Leonard graciously acknowledged it too.

Cheers,
Andrew :)
