The CD this next one comes from I found at Daff and Raff, a terrific store in Harvard Square. I think it was 1996 or 97 when I found it. The store, which sold Arabic books and records, had a short life, and was replaced by an English-language bookstore. Now, I don't know what is there. I contacted a guy who has been photographing Harvard Square for years, and he hadn't heard of the place.

i can't say i remember that place either
Avatar 7:56pm

I was in there once about 20 years ago. Think I picked up something ornamental, and not sure but it might be where -- extra relevance points this evening -- I got my only Oum Kalthoum recording, a cassette.

"She and the audience would feed off of each other...," much like Insane Clown Posse and their fans.

I clearly remember a first time hearing OK decades ago, but I don't remember the exact circumstances. Probably radio.
