[Dr. Ray Fleming]

Victor Kytasty was my friend and colleague at the University of California, San Diego. He was an impressive scholar and teacher who served as an enthusiastic supporter of Ukrainian music and literature and a scholar of comparative literature. He was known to us in the United States as possessing exceptional skills as both a musician and literary critic. Victor`s warmth, generosity of spirit, and wonderful sense of humor made him a valued colleague and friend. We all miss him.

Florida Georgia Line is my favourite country music band. Headliners Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard are those people that could make anyone sing along with them. That's why I like to visit their shows. And - that's surprisingly wonderful - in 2019 they have CAN'T SAY IT AIN'T COUNTRY TOUR which covers all the US cities and towns.

Breaking Benjamin is my favourite band of 90s. They had so many hits! The ones I remember are 'The Diary of Jane', 'Tourniquet' and their hit 'So Cold'. These are real songs, not fake ones like today! And it is sooo good that Breaking Benjamin have a tour in 2020! And I'm going to visit Breaking Benjamin concert this year. The concert setlist is here: Breaking Benjamin tour dates 2020. Click on it and maybe we can even visit one of the performances together!
