In the desert at Wadi Rum Saleem laid on a bedouin feast and gave me a brief lesson on playing the lute and arabic singing.
The lute is fiendish. Just tuning it is a work of art and every song we tried seemed to have a different tuning.
It was an honour to be allowed to attempt to play such a valuable instrument. Thankyou Saleem.
When I got back I recorded this Arabian Nights by Timski
