What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
Back to a solo item for the star of the month. This is not the best of recordings from a 1988 concert in Serbia. However, it is a lovely piece and I am sure you won't mind the authentic feel of the time...

It is common in Arabic and Egyptian music,- copied from Wiki) Ahhh so all is explained.....
