Hi! I've got just three gigs to report this month. Besides the
regular Friday night
Honeysuckle Rose at Mapp's, I'm involved in a project providing live
music for a silent
film Saturday, May 22.

A 1925 Silent film from the makers of King Kong
Set in Iran, with live Turkish and Persian music

Filmed in 1925 (by the makers of King Kong), Cooper and Schoedsack's
masterpiece and one of the greatest documentaries of all time, GRASS
chronicles

raging rivers in Southern Iran. This incredible evening includes a
continuous
Turkish & Persian musical score.

The music directors for the live music this evening are area
