hi there
our dear friend Jacques sent this to me.
a sad account of musicians in Iraq
makes me feel lucky to still be able to play my oud.

    thanks for the post Jeff,
    of course the thoughts and
    feelings vibrate sympathetically
    through us in response to the
    story, wondering how we
    would carry on if you and I were
    unable to play oud and violin
    as we so freely do...
