Remembering Samir Hachem and His Gift of Arabic Music https://t.co/WWHeoxgRw0 Thanks @Tom_Schnabel for that Post. Samir called me the day before you co-hosted on #Fairouz 1987 found a tape I recorded off @kcrw. giving to my daughter for #Xmas.
@amandapetrusich thanks for the folkways feature. Joseph Spence is also one of my heroes. I love "Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer" and his outrageous version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" Tom Schnabel /KCRW
@franseegull i Fran, I don't use Twitter but I wanted you to see a very interesting project that needs some support. It's called The Listen Project. Could i email you with some 411?
tom schnabel [email protected]. i'm still active at KCRW https://t.co/M0U5g6pkCg thank you.
@Tabbal@kcrw dear Maroun, this is so great. you never know when you write something if anybody will read it let alone have a personal memory. Samir was a smart, elegant human being, taken from us before retrovirals were available. Sad. thanks again. Tom
@MarcoWerman i got the Spain instrument right reminded me of a famous cut on Sketches of Spain. So mento preceded rocksteady by too far.....dunno about that.
