Hi all- I came across some youtube clips of a guy named Joe Budway. I was wondering if any of you know more about this interesting oud player. Thanks, MW:)

Thanks for this clip! He plays really beautifully, as does Leo Budway. It also looks/sounds like he is playing an old instrument.

I wonder if these guys live in the Pittsburgh area. When I lived there I looked around for musicians like this all the time but usually had no luck.

Thanks again,

Hi Mav. After reading your post I decided to do a bit more research on Leo and Joe who did/do live in the Pittsburgh area. I don't know what they are up to, but here is more info.

Interesting Matthew, thanks.

I guess I just never crossed paths with the right people to meet them while I was living there.

Well, at least I got to hear them on youtube a little. I really enjoyed their playing.

Thanks again my friend,

The Budway and Samreny names ring a bell. I'm going to have to investigate this further...hmmmm

Perhaps Pittsburgh isn't as oud-free as I thought.
