I get to Neratovice by car from Prague. We agree that I will shoot outside. Children surround us, they like it a lot, I don't like to tell them not to scream. I am very happy with the powerful duet of Láďa and Milan Gabčo. After a few songs, wasps chase us away. We go inside to Lád'a’s house. Musicians want to play the keyboard, I persuade them to turn off the strings on the keyboard and leave only the sound of the piano.
