My brother’s passion for the oud

January 29th, 2008 by admin

My little brother John has been very interested in th culture of and music of the Mediterranean and Mesopotamian area as of late. I’m not sure what has driven this passion for things of the Middle East, but I have an inkling it has to do with his trip last summer to that region. It has been quite the experience, although some what irritating, when he decided to start learning how to play the ancient stringed instrument called the oud. I thought it was a joke at first, but sure enough one arrived in the mail and we have been, what shall I say, blessed with this music?
