[Harp-L] Rhythm Road

[David Berntson <bernesto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Harmonica Friends,
I am currently on tour with the Little Joe McLerran Quartet.  We are on/ 
The Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad/, a program organized by Jazz at 
Lincoln Center for the US Department of State.  We are touring the 
Arabian peninsula.  We made history earlier this week when we played a 
public concert of American Blues music at the King Fahd Cultural Center 
in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  Usually, public concerts are forbidden, and it 
has been almost a hundred years since there has been non-religious 
American music played in public.  We had an audience of 1000 people, 
both men and women.  It was groundbreaking!
