Ted and I just spent the month of may in Istanbul and Ankara. You can find pics and a travel journal on the Turku site at www.TurkuMusic.com/blog.htm
Ted took saz lessons while we were there and is selling the saz he bought for the lessons. I'll try to get a picture of that up soon.

    Great Blog! Thanks for sharing your experience over there. I feel your pain on missing Gogol Bordello, Rajni and I missed them by a day when they played in Arlington last year. "Start wearing purple" is sort of our unofficial theme song.

      yeah, aren't those guys great? i think pennsic needs it own equivalent. maybe zurna, davul, darbuka (definately Kazuki!), violin, hurdy gurdy, and a vocalist. we could do some eastern european rom tunes. (or,as gb puts it, 'gypsy f*** songs)
