		~ WRITINGS ON THE WALL ~ Photo © by MAZ Curtis - a man with an extra- ordinary sense for the mystical and the beauty in what we call "The story of Life". You've surely listened to "Eyes Upon The Sky" by now and this is exactly what we are talking about. As you may have read in the short biography about MAZ, he's a man with a strong spiritual and mystical sense, too. This does not, by all means, exclude the more profane everyday life's routines and perceptions.	"Eyes Upon The Sky"
		He has learned that small things can say much, and a kind of alertness for the details and little beauties of everyday living contributes to more joy and fulfilment in life. As a citizen of Lelystad-H(e)aven, MAZ has been a member of a little neighborhood choir - "Najade". Singing in choirs has always fascinated him. His fellow bass voice Fons B. worked as a nurse, so - knowing Curtis well and MAZ- he felt the urge to introduce them to eachother. Yet, MAZ's return into musical productions, somewhat earlier in '98, was literally triggered by the following words that the Artist known as Prince said during his show in Rotterdam 1998:
		"Turn up the keyboards, Martin, I hear you!" Now if you don't believe that, call Tonny who whitnessed to MAZ turning to him in the auditorium next to him, shouting "Did you hear that!!?" Tonny replied: "Yeah and those other 5000 people too!" No kidding! :)
		So, "Why that little green Mercedes Benz up there?" might be the question. It's one of the "writings on the wall", that's how Curtis used to call all those fascinating synchronistic events they have experienced together. MAZ carries this little toy-car you see at the beginning of this paragraph with him for his entire life. A gift of "dad" when he was a boy. And he kept it always by his piano. What fun! The originals?? Photo © by Irma Ras & Annette McNear-Sieger It was quite a suprise for MAZ to see a full size green Mercedes in front of Curtis' home the first day he came by. Curtis has been touring all over Europe with that vehicle!
		"I was before Prince" said Curtis to MAZ the first afternoon both friends met in person. He pointed out an LP album cover of his own from the sixties, showing him with those white sleeves! And here's another one for you: Larry 'Wild' Wrice, Chicago's own double bass drummer playing in the Double Rainbow Band knew little Roger Nelson a.k.a. Prince from Minneapolis when he was a four-year old boy! Small World?? -- Beautiful World, Beautiful People !!
