Thanks Leon
Great playing with fluid energy= drive. Yeah wonderfull risha work sounds like he's playing two parts at the same time. When you come to Manchester
we'll visit that Armenian restaurant and have a session there.!

Hi Kelly
I think its 'cos I felt exuberant myself after our weekend with Nizar Rohana. I like the clip because I think the guy has a deceptively light touch
but loads of gusto - I don'treckon he's fighting the oud  ... I think the
sound quality is not great but that is true of lots of stuff on youtube and you have to listen between the fuzz.
I am now going to practice with my most lyrical lightly touching Nizar enhanced all new rishasonicly modified technique

I think Harry Bedrossian is an amazing player. I don't hear the "fighting with the oud" quality that you describe. This is a live setting, a
"kef"--his playing is not going to have the nuance that some solo studio work might have. It should not. His playing fits the occasion perfectly,
and I think he is a masterful player.

Yeah man, the guy plays great - his singing reminds me of Harry Minassian a bit. Flat out classic east coast Armenian style oud playing, and an
excellent group too.
