Apparently, I'm the "nice young man" on the tram. The concert really was
great. I wasn't able to see Lee, but I wish I had... haven't seen you in a while, man. Everyone was great to see, as usual, and to meet you, Samir.
Simon is amazing on the oud, I have to tell you all. And Jihad Racy... my goodness, an all-around great musician.
I hope to see you all in the concert coming up on the 1st!

I was able to ask Mr. Shaheen about his oud. I asked if it was a Nahat, and got a very surprising "no." He said the maker is Palestinian, if I
remember correctly. I remember his name clearly, though... Amine Haddad. Fantastic sounding oud, no? And the oud player that was playing when Simon
was on violin... was his brother! I thought that was awesome.

Did you get a good look at the bowl? Pretty stunning.
Yes, it sounded good. The whole ensemble was amplified very nicely-- a really nice, warm, natural sound in there, at least from where I was
sitting.
Never heard of the oud maker, but the oud was something special.

Oh that Amin Haddad from Haifa. I remember this guy ,And a remember that he was making some ouds at home.But the second oud that they did not use was
a Nahat for sure.
