well, at least it was not a METAL GUITAR 
...or, who knows, might have been cool. I know Jimmy Page was greatly inspired by OK.

Mohammad Al Mouji was born in 1923. I don't know much about him. He is a famous composer for many great singers. His first composition was for Abd El
Halim Hafez. He also worked with Um Kulthoum (in her last 10 years or so), Fayza Ahmad, Warda and others. He was the one who discovered Hani Shaker (a
modern singer). He died in 1995.
Of course he composed melodies on his oud but I don't think he was an oudist for the public. If I come across any recording for him I'll post it.

Thanks Mike
Just for a bit of explanation:
- the first picture is Al Qasabji the kid with his father
- the second one is when he was a student of Islamic Religion at Al Azhar
No need to talk about the rest 
Hope you enjoy!!

Interesting, his playing position is the same as many paintings of 16th century lutenists. Left leg over right with the right hand and arm coming
around the end of the oud in line with the strings. C

You're welcome Reda, what is also notable about this playing position is that up to the early 16th century the lute was played with a quill (risha).
Therefore it may be reasonable to assume this was a common playing position for oud players during this period?. The lute having been copied/developed
from the oud. Food for thought eh?. C
