Thank you! This interview is a gem. Such intelligence and genuine answers and true musical helpfulness are coming from Ahmad al-Khatib and you have
played such an important role by asking meaningful questions and .... and this rarely happens with interviewers... and actually understanding the
answers. Your understanding allowed him to open up and expand on each topic.
