Concert in the Riad

Monday night we were fortunate to be invited along with some other musicians to perform in a private house (more like a palace) We walked once again thru the narrow, winding streets to one of the thousands of babs (doors) Once inside, it was like another world- some of the most beautiful architecture we had ever seen. The venue was small, maybe 30 people who were invited guests. A local performer was first, singing a few songs in traditional Arabic. An Australian was next, playing some folk songs on the guitar. I was able to play drums for him, then Todd and I played a couple of Long Walk Home songs, and Kevin joined us and led several others. We had the privilege of sharing the stage with the group from Canada, who then finished the night off with an amazing variety of songs.
