End of My Oud Site

Andy - 10-25-2009 at 09:22 AM

I have had my oud site since 1999 and now it is time for it to end. I had helped many who came to me for advice over the years and enjoyed helping them because of my love for the oud and to the many I directed to both this site. I had been honored by a few who had copied and pasted some of my pictures, information, and my words to their sites. For those who have me as a link please delete me.

Hi Andy!
It was great site!
Do you make a new one? Yahoo gives an option to put the sites on other server after they close the Geocities.

It’s very easy to move your site to other server. I’ve found a free one, better than Geocities (no ads): http://www.000webhost.com/
You only have to sign up and copy your files. I use Total Commander as a ftp client.
I created my site in a few minutes!

Como esta amigo michoud, In the early 1960's I played the oud in a band called the Artie Barsamian Jrs. named after the Artie Barsamian Orchestra, a favorite Armenian music group in the 1950's and beyond. Artie had recorded a lot during the 50s, 60s, 70s on LP and tape and cd. One LP was called Caravan East. One of the medley of songs they played was "The Vagabond (Themes from Arshin Mal Alun)", the last song on the medley. What you heard is me playing my version of the song. Lo siento, I do not have any music for it nor do I know the correct name for it.
Muchas Gracias,
