Music of the week: my interpretation of the composition called "Two in a cafe", by a soviet-armenian composer Mikael Tariverdiev.

It's time to take a deep breath and immerse into something that is above everything earthly...

Yesterday marked my final scheduled gig for 2024. We played at many venues in the Finger Lakes region, including Photo City Music Hall, Lovin' Cup and Seed & Stone restaurants in Rochester, Kent Brewery in Andover, Alfred's Farmers Market, Savor Vineyards in Arkport, Grist Iron Brewery and Two Goats Brewing in Burdett. Thank you to all the musicians who played with me, the great audience who came to see us, and the venue's hosts.

This week's song of the week is 'Tiny Dancer,' which I had the pleasure of performing yesterday at the Grist Iron Brewery.

Very sad news - one of my favorite Armenian singers, Zara Tonikyan, passed away more than a month ago. It's a shame no Armenian news resources reported about this - that tells a lot about the state of things.
