“To be honest, the feelings at the moment are twofold. Of course, I’m happy with the book. On the other hand, we each deserve to publish our own book. Am I exactly the one who deserves this great result? This question bothers me all the time,” the portal New. jw.org en Juris Pavītols openly admitted that the book also describes how music life has developed in Latvia – through all the peripetias we have often been guilty of. “It’s a kind of daring on my part. I know I’ll get a lot of enemies too. That’s why the name is ‘Mirror Portrait of a Witness,'” Pavītols said.
The book mentions musicians that Liepaja has encountered in his life – one for good, another for bad. The author says that he has not lied about anything: “This is not my version, it is a testimony! I have touched on the topic of good faith, in Soviet times it limped, often deliberately. In those days, however, honesty requires objectivity. That’s why I wrote the book so we can see who we are. “
Pavītols will not write more books. But promises to record songs from ancient times. “The album, dedicated to the fiftieth anniversary of” Livu “, should be released at the end of May,” promises the musician.
