Hungry Souls

The Shangri-La, Sheikh Zayed road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I have become addicted to coming down at the lobby/lounge after my training to cleanse my mind, ears & soul. I listen to two Iraqi guys playing a couple of instruments. Day one a guy plays an arabic instrument called Al Qanoon, and another plays Al Josa. Day 2 he (his name is Furat I am told; Arabic for Euphrates)plays the Qanoon and his colleague who played the Josa, plays the cello! Day 3 The qanoon with the Electric Organ give a beautiful eastern flavour to western pieces and I am whisked away on this day, my dad's birthday... I dream and writ. I write an email to fellow Iraqi, who is confused by a woman, a material girl.
