You know Americans don't get around very much, at least in person. This is truly a sad state - seeing how much of an impact "American culture" has upon the globe. Me - well, although not money rich, I'm rich in living experience in many parts of the world due to "right placement" & timing or should I say a partner & wife who has the ways & knowledge to hustle internationnal gigs from many angles... An international expat hillbilly musicaneer playing connect-the-dots on a grande scale. So here is one of things Iove to do - record random local radio... Here's some Nairobi radio from different times in 2006.... Dig these East African guitar boy bands, one-man guitar & benga classics. cheers Ephraim
