testing, testing,
hey, does this mic work?

Well, here I am - out in cyberspace,

I got here by accident actually,
following the blog by Lebanese musician
Mazen Kerbaj - check out his blog from a shelter in Beirut
http://mazenkerblog.blogspot.com/
he's got some amazing cartoon drawings
of the madness of the war going on,
he also made an improvised recording of
bombs falling in the distance as he plays his trumpet

without stating any political agenda,
his blog is very human and also contains
much humor in the face of all the crazyness

I've been in that situation (shelters, bombs..) before,
so I can empathize.

well, I guess that's my opening blog entry for now
go listen to some good blues music, say, by Magic Slim and the Teardrops...
ciao,
