I have finally got a video up, thanks to my dear friend Lilian Simonsson who produced it and my son Bahrun who was the sound engineer. The piece I am playing is an arrangement by Toru Takemitsu ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toru_Takemitsu ) of the old Irish traditional, ‘Londonderry Air’. I am playing it in East Sussex in a place called Firle. It was very enjoyable working with such highly skilled pro’s like Lilian and Bahrun on this project. I am now producing a video with one of my own compositions and hope to get an equally good response. Look out for it! Thank you all for your encouraging feedback. 🙂
I think your music is really lovely and you play the guitar with real skill. I also enjoyed watching the video.
I shall look forward to hearing the pieces you have written for the guitar in due course. I also wish you all the very best with your musical venture.

Thanks for sharing, Hussein, that’s beautiful. I had no idea of Takemitsu’s jazz chops!
Congratulations on getting back to music making. Good news for all the rest of us.

Thank you for giving Mélinda and I the possibility to hear 3 minutes of your music, we would love to hear some more when you make a CD.

Many thanks for this – I am really delighted that you have been able to do this. It feels more balanced and if it helps to bring joy to yourself and others than that can only be a good thing.
