Opps, must have missed it.
Thanks for pointing this out.Brian Prunka - 9-24-2008 at 03:04 PM
I liked the following quote:
Quote:
El-Qasabgy could do the simplest thing and it would be the most beautiful. He could execute that which is simple but impossible to attain -- something
everyone could do, but couldn't. That is the mood,
very well put, I'm often struck by how the masters make the simplest thing sound so great.oud-dude - 9-26-2008 at 05:28 AM
Thank you, GeorgeK. That was very interesting, and I am sure there are plenty of us new folks who had not seen it before.

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed it.
My favourite Quote is:
"It takes me six months to make, but let me show you what I do," he tells me before opening up a large hard leather case that takes up a third of his
workspace. He pulls out a beautiful dark wooden oud inlaid with intricate floral designs in mother of pearl. ..."
It is very humbling to actually hear how long it takes to produce some of these master pieces.abusin - 9-26-2008 at 07:04 AM
