Friend Tim in LaPêche wonders about a BBC report of rock and roll in Kabul

- first I've heard of it ..

The locale Babur Gardens is spectacular - an Agha Khan rehabilitation of the park surrounding the burial ground of Babur the great grandson of Tamerlane the biggest butcher in ancient history.

Nonetheless I will see lots of music this fall at the French Cultural Centre - upcoming world percussion show by the Afghanistan National Institute of Music and a "Rock Show" featuring a melange of Afghan and foreign artists.

The "Cultch" is a great venue and once again accessible - the new employer has a more liberal "client centred" security policy ....

I am cognizant of my World Vision training to "always wear one's runners and be prepared to flee the scene."
