January 2004-Overland High School, Aurora Colorado
Marc, my wonderful saz, oud, singer, from Saltanah, showing some
wonderful Overland High School kids from Aurora Colorado how to play the saz.
He spent 40 minutes with them after our performance. The kids were
awesome. All those boys played guitar, except for the yellow hat, he was a
drummer. And a few pictures of Marc and myself.
