ReplyDeleteI was present atvthe 74 and 75 sessions, two of my student are on cover of Vol 2.
Interesting to see others interested in a musical Era focused on middle eastern and belly dance. My father was Jimmy Linardos. He had a passion for his music~thank you for your hard work in keeping this alive
