about me
I am an amateur musician, fortunate enough to be surrounded by a wonderful and talented group of people in my band Felahi (felahi.com), and we are fortunate enough to be playing for the wonderful and talented tribal group TNT.

I am a computer geek, database programmer and Linux advocate, and still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

I am a vegetarian cook, and I wrote a cookbook and website (lbveg.com),

And, I am married to the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. Those of you who have met my wife already know that.

Doumbek Technique and Rhythms for Arabic Percussion, Bellydance, and Drum Circles
( miscellaneous » products ) "Excellent video" I agree on how very good this DVD is. I have been playing for many years, and I still learn a lot from watching it.
