David Isberg

This section is very special to me.

I got in contact with David some time ago. Since that day we spoke a lot about music and life.

We met on a sunny day in june'22, when he was in the Netherlands to attend an Iron Maiden concert with his girlfriend.

It was an amazing memorable day with a lot of great stories, laughter and Trooper beers.

The absolute start of everything is this book from Wilbur Smith - The Sunbird.
When me and David met each other, we had a long conversation about this. He told me about his holiday in Thailand as a teenager with his parents. During this holiday he turned sick for a few days, which forced him to stay in the hotel. To kill time he spend hours in the library and found this book. While reading it he was fascinated by the story and learned about this fictional city called "Opet". It is the name of the location for an ancient empire which translates to the City of the Moon.
David signed my personal copy of the book right on page #188 where he first read about it. An absolute highlight in my collection.
