CHANGES

Responsible for carrying out the concert was a famous composer Alexander Zlotnik. His song dedicated to this event was included in the concert program. Inna was relentless: “I’ll call him.” 
Talking on the phone was short. 
– Live tomorrow, the last rehearsal today. You do not have the arrangement. And this song no one heard – Zlotnik said. 
– Please, let me play it on your phone. – And she played. 
– I take my song and put your. Will sing live.

After leaving Inna Svetlana phoned, expressed condolences and said that in his repertoire included several songs written by us, and at every performance she will devote their memory Inna Pushkar.

But all long gone on the ground.
