One of the things I did as we were tracking was to test run solo versions of two new oud pieces in front of the Flip cam. I find this helpful to get used to the pieces in a performance or recording setting, and overcome a litle 'new material anxiety'. i actually thought, after a couple of nights of trying, that i had a reasonable handle on the material so i did a little editing form the final takes and posted them on you tube.
Here's one of them --- a slow, wistful melody, it's becoming one of our favorites. The Duo version will likely be the closing piece on the new release.
