But Asher was also a talented musician in his own right, with a great ear for what was new and fresh. Once, when Paul McCartney wrote a song that John Lennon didn’t think was right for the Beatles, Asher asked if he could record it.

Che cos'è la musica? Per Frida, da sempre immersa nel mondo dei suoni, è molto più di una passione. Presenza fissa e compagna fedele, è diventata nel tempo la cifra della sua vita, un filtro per leggere il mondo: "È la mia essenza più profonda, è ciò che sono". A due anni aveva già le mani sul pianoforte, a cinque era capace di suonare a orecchio e adesso che ne ha venti è un'artista di successo. Curiosa, determinata, appassionata: queste pagine sono un omaggio alla musica, che è per lei un ponte tra le persone, un dialogo che non conosce barriere.
