In Beirut

Sorry for the delay in posting..internet access has not been readily available and pictures are coming soon!..We just met the US Ambassador to Lebanon. What a great woman who is doing some awesome work here in Lebanon and her great staff. I really like Beirut..its not AT ALL what i thought it would be. It reminds me of a mini New York missed with some Chi-town and of course I bring the STL/DFW flavor to it. We have done at least 6 interviews/talk shows/radio formats...its been very very interesting....everyone is really being blessed by our music. The people are great and want us to stay longer and I WANT TO STAY..lol..the Med sea is some of God's best handiwork...stay tuned peeps..and to all my new friends in Cyprus and Lebanon that are checking us out..hit me up..lets stay connected!

Fathers Day in Cyprus

Well first let me say..to anyone that might pass along this way..happy fathers day....life is Cyprus has been nice such far. I found out yesterday that it doesnt rain here from May till November...WOWSERS!!!...The people are REALLY being receptive to our music. The only regret we hear is that we didnt have enough time with them! Sunday was a concert on the Turkish side of the island of Cyprus. It was interesting to drive approximately 30 mn and there b such drastic changes..especially with the language that is spoken. It will be equivalent to driving from Dallas TX to Plano TX and having a different alphabet and verbage. However music once again brought us together with the natives and by the end of the concert they were clapping and trying to sing along...what a great feeling! well off to breakfast...stay tuned!

Our First Concert

So today we have our first encounter with Cyprus...and IT WAS HOT..but beautiful. The people are great. They want to learn and they want to share. We were at Highgate school yesterday morning and OH what a great experience. It was their last day of class and boy were they ready to GET OUT OF THERE....i think the highlight for them was when I brought some of the students on stage to sing with us. From there we did an interview with the news station and had jam session/collab with some local jazz musicians. We went in with open minds and we really had a great time. We started off just grooving and making music amongst us and then we got down to rehearsing. They performed with us last night at the American Embassy in Cyprus. The Ambassador I must say is a cool guy. The guest and dignitaries were very pleased and could not stop complimenting us. They were singing and dancing and didnt want to leave. AND the food was great!...such a wonderful day and wonderful experience had...thank you Jazz at Lincoln and US States Dept for Rhythm Road!
