I am glad to see about my favourite child hood singer . But i have one comment on his first release "Sew true" is not his first rather second . His first release was a very nice job but i dont know which one of the 10 musics in one album was used to name that album but i remember all such as "Alfshebet yan sefer" . Looking forward to hear his 2009 release
