Hi!
Does anybody knows french oud player Marc Bellity? I heard him some years ago in Estonia. He played oud and sang. It was very, very good... If
anybody have some recording with him or his contact please contact me. I would like to ask from him about some tunes...

That is very nice to hear. Have you ever been here - in Estonia?

Unfortuntely, I've never been anywhere near Estonia. My maternal great-grandfather was supposedly born in Tallinn, but migrated to Odessa in his
youth. My grandfather was born in Odessa in 1906 and emigrated to the USA with his family in 1913. He told me that his mother was from Riga,
Latvia. Mostly, though, I've travelled in the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Turkey, Israel, Egypt).
Maybe someday...
Best,
John
