Where in the world is Chity Somapala????

Not a real question, I guess, as it sounds like he's home in Sri Lanka still putting out music, just not necessarily in our favorite genres.

Listening to the second Faro CD today and realizing how much I miss his voice.

****Yes, I was thinking of him the other day when I was organizing my CD rack ( again ) and saw the Avalon discs ......like you, the last I saw of him was when he was still making music in Sri-Lanka ......I don't think he comes around to the boards or forums anymore like he used to ......

Cool story - when he was playing Prog Power with Red Circuit those many years ago, he sought ME out at the venue, and I brought him back to the hotel room to meet everyone in the Room of Death ......he was so cool, partied with us, and was happy to have met everyone and put a face to the names finally ..... really nice guy.

Sucks the story with Chity happened before I started to make ProgPower every year...

I chatted with him not too far back. After ten years or more he still remembered me. Odd.

He's still singing and playing shows. Seems pretty happy. Great guy. We're overdue for some new music from him.
