My trip started in Opole (Nysa is my hometown but now I live in Opole). It was a rainy, cold day. My train was late and I was in Cracow at 5p.m. instead of 4p.m.
My friend went with me. She is not Scorpions and Paweł's fan but she went.
I was very happy and excited but also a little nervous
we came in the club (Kryjówka Music Club), I looked around and I saw Paweł, OMG
there was a sound check!
so we were sitting there, drinking a cold beer and listening to the Stirwater's music. It was the best feeling!
but anyway, there were only we, employees of the club and Paweł's band
When the sound check ended Paweł came there, by our table.
I was soooo happy!
I asked him about Stirwater. He said that he is very busy with the Scorpions and distribution takes a lot of time so maybe he will released this album next year. And he has a lot of his music, it is enough for 2 albums
then I asked him when Scorpions will play in Poland, he said: maybe in year, maybe in 2 years
and I said: what about this Scorpions' ending? he said... hmmm... I can't translate it but I think I can interpret it as We Will Play.
I gave him your warm greetings, he smiled and said: thank you very much
he asked me if I'm from Cracow. No Paweł, I arrived from Opole, specialy for your concert
He signed my SITT copy: dla ANI (for Ania) and he drew a heart there too, sooo nice!
Then he had to go somewhere else, said: have a good fun! see you!
OMG, it was the best moment!
he is a fantastic, friendly man, my Hero!
People started to come in so we chose a good places and we were waiting.
Paweł came back. He was walking around the club, it was so normal!
He was standing by my back and talking with one woman about his website
then when he was passing by me, gosh I looked at him and I'm sure he saw my eyes, my eyes full of adoration, he touched my shoulder by his hand
it was only a second but for me it was a touch of God and a moment in a million years!
The concert started.
If you could hear this music, this music takes my breath away!
It was an acoustic concert, only a guitar, bass and singing. This singing! Efrem Wilder's voice is amazing, sooo strong. he is a great, great singer!
During the first song Paweł was playing guitar!
Then he was playing his bass and this solos, his playing, I loooove it!!!
after 2 or 3 songs Paweł asked: Is it ok? and I shouted yeees!
It was a rock music, fantastic, fantastic! Paweł was happy, he was in trance I guess
I'm sure you will fall in love with this band too when you hear it.
I want this album, I want!
but ok, now I know everything what I wanted to know so I can wait, waiting is the best
btw, the title of the album is "Now Is The Time".
I must to say that this band is as awesome as Scorpions, really! I love it, I love!!! from last Sunday I'm a big fan of Stirwater! woooooo
but we had to leave the club earlier because we had to catch our train
when I was coming back home I was crying... I didn't know what is with me but there were tears of happiness because:
- finally I met Paweł
- finally I heard Stirwater's music
- I felt and I still feel that the best in my life is yet to come
I'm full of happiness and full of hope!
Paweł with Scorpions, Paweł with Stirwater - he has my big support always!
I wasn't at Scorpions concert this year and I won't be but Paweł made me believe everything in my life will be all right. Finally I'm not depressed and empty inside.
It was absolutely sudden, it was the best Sunday of my life!
