On the way out to do 11 million more things before I leave for Detroit tomorrow and I was struck with a song I wrote like 7 or 8 years ago: Hezekiah the Kangaroo! I don't remember why I called it that, I guess that's just what that-period-James thought a kangaroo sounded like/would be named. #oudstagram #oudmusic #blues #swampy #kangaroo #abudsplayouds #oldsongs #busyassday #asusual (at Rogers Park, Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brv8R3JAi1h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pfehuo6x8gx2

#oud #a #day #novemberchallenge Day 7: starting to hear quarter tones a little more clearly is an exciting step. You can hear at 0:36 or so that I had to correct an A so it wasn't Aquarter, so I got that goin for me. #fretsareforwimps #taqsim #bayati #bayat #maqam #maqamat #arabicmusic #arabamerican #lebanese #allday #singersongwriter #practiceeveryday #10000hours #beardsofinstagram #oudstagram #thisisnotagame (at Rogers Park)
