It was like a very junior Trekkie meeting the
MasterTrekker. He’salso involvedwithmusic
inabigway. Iwas just a life-timefiddler.
SoGreg, it’sbeena joyknowingyouandalways
ahighlightofmyannual visits toPerth.

It’snot thedifferentwayswe think
thatcount.
It’s the feelings thatwe share.
A life isnot a solo,
And I’ve long been privileged to be a small
strand in the rich polyphonic Chorale that is
Greg.
Keep singing the song,maestro.
I’ll hear it half aworld away, because youwill
live long inmy remembering,
For themusicwill goon,
And theechoeswillnotdie.

Greg, youseem tobea realhero in
theeyesofourchildren.

had of singing in a choir when you andMa-
lini visited Padang and taught the children
and youth the Indonesian version of “Refresh
andgladdenmy spirit”andacoupleofHidden
Words, sung inparts... itwasagreatexperience
forall of themat that time...

Remember theHiddenWords which you put
tomusicwhenyoucame toPadang?
“Wahai hambaKu! lepaskanlah dirimu dari
belenggu-belenggu dunia ini, dan bebaskanlah
rohmudari penjarakeakuan...”
“Free thyself from the fetters of this world and
loose thy soul from theprisonof self...”
It’s a very powerful HiddenWord and has a
deepeffect onus ifwe try toapply it. But I see
it inyouandyouare theworld’shero,mydear-
est uncle. I am soooograteful that I know you
andcan sharemy feelingswithyou.
Love fromyour farawayniece,
