Re: "Colors of Istanbul" lecture

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

FWIW:  I did go to this lecture, though I'm not sure what I can usefully 
post about it.  Even my notes to myself are somewhat unreadable--or 
inexplicable!  Wonderfully rich range of secular and sacred music--and of 
examples of various and sundry fusions.  Casually presented by someone who 
obviously has an extensive, first-hand familiarity with the material.

I do plan to talk with him about his talk and some of his musical examples.
