Good start Oleg - keep us in the loop.

Gordy, Rob, thank you guys!

Oleg, is this Wagner the 'Ring of the Nebielung" guy? The "Ride of the Valkura" guy?
Wow...very cool. Nice job...very smooth.
One thing, he looks a little tan (could be the exposure/lighting) for a German. Of course, he coud have been in the sun, contemplating apocalyptic things.
But I think of Germans is quite fair skinned. And when I listen to his music, I see a dark, brooding fellow in my mind's eye.
Just my tuppence.

Phil, thank you!

Oleg, the highlight are the eyes....superb mate.
