Filed under: SECOND YEAR
This is again one of those unbelievable hcmc stories:
Some of you might know that since Anneleen and I visited Istanbul some years ago, I have developed this strange passion for the Saz (=Turkish lute – even the Turks that I’ve met find this bizarre and old fashioned). Prior to our move to Vietnam, I took music lessons from Emre – one of the greatest young Saz players – for 1 and half years.
Recently Stijn (a Belgian guy who moved to hcmc not long ago) and I just knew we had seen each other before… so we were stupefied to find out we once met at Emre’s course, as he was also one of his pupils!! How crazy is that?? I think in Brussels there are just 3 or so non-Turks playing this thing… Anyway, I was really happy to find out as he lent me his instrument and I realised how much I missed playing it…
Lately, Lydia was looking for musicians for the album she’s currently recording with Linh (her husband-producer, he’s a famous star in Vietnam! 
), so she asked me to help her out with some strings… Check out the Vietnamese section in your record store soon!
