Who I'd like to meet: Musicians, drummers and dancers who want to collaborate on Middle Eastern music.
I just realized I missed your birthday. I suck, I apologize. Damn creeping old age....the memory is the first to go. I hope you had a fantastic birthday!
Hey- I thought of you this weekend. We went to the Asian Cultural Festival and they had a belly dance demonstration. I think they would have benefited greatly from Ishtar's musical skills because belly dance doesn't hardly work with the odious sounds of hip hop. You would have screamed....as it was, I screamed for you. Hope everything in da Burgh is well.
Hey, Jim bought me to NOS WXXP bumperstickers on eBay and had them framed for me for Christmas. I just can't think of XX without thinking of you! I know you're crazy-busy, but can we hook up sometime soon? I MISS you, dammit!
Congratulations on the gig! I know you will set NY on it's ear with your talent! Even though I won't be there physically, I will be there supporting you in spirit.
Just wanted to stop by and say hi. It doesn't look like I will be able to make it to our reunion. When we can make it up to the snow belt I really want to hear you play! I like the new pic - it's a very you pic.
Middle Eastern music, clarinets, zurnas, bellydancing.
