Hokkanen's Music Is Real Soul
RECEIVED Wed., Dec. 7, 2005
Dear Editor,
Thanks so much for the Erik Hokkanen article [“Realms of Inspiration,” Music, Dec. 2] – I loved it, especially the very apt matryoshka doll metaphor. Ms. Moser captured well some of what makes this accomplished musician unique, charming, innovative, and such a treat to listen to ... descriptors that could be used on Austin itself, I think (or at least on the Austin I hope still exists). Erik's music and character radiate sincere fun and real soul, and I have never seen him stint on any performance, no matter the venue. I'm grateful for what the man gives to us all.
