Kyle, I so wish I could be there!
When I do visit my very good friend in Beirut - I hope we will be able to meet up. I'd love to hear you play.
Good luck and join us playing shakuhachi 6 February as Perry already mentioned!

Also, please do let us know how the audience perception was - and also in Beirut where you live. That would be very interesting?

Hmmm.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clNivBlYCxA 

Sounds like it might be worth the trip to Dubai!

Re: Solo Shakuhachi performance in Dubai, Monday February 1, 2010.

Dear friends,

Thank you kindly for all your support!
The concert was truly a success. More than 100 people attended and to my surprise, quite a few of them had heard of the Shakuhachi, and couple of people also played the instrument but had no teachers in Dubai, so I was glad to have been able to offer lessons during my stay in Dubai.

The response was tremendous!  I would like to thank all those who attended and the crew at The Fridge who was supportive and helpful in setting up a  wonderful stage.  Also, many thanks to Shelly from The Fridge for her beautiful playing on the Harp. 

If I can get some  video I will certainly post some on youtube!

Best regards.

Kyle.
