By the way, King Crimson is releasing a new box set.

I love Arto's group! Although, I wouldn't consider them anything close to being "new age."

Thanks for the headsup. I love old Crimson. I'm going to try and check it out!

No M&M throwing at my concerts...unless, of course, you bring enough for the entire band ---->

I'm glad to see it's already here. I came on here to post this article after just finding it on yahoo. How bizarre. Let me guess, they're going to rename Ararat next, right?

You father has a beautiful style...lovely artwork. It's calming to look at his paintings. I'm really enjoying surfing around this message board.

Lucky you! And he just won a Grammy! JAZZ INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM, INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP "Illuminations": McCoy Tyner With Gary Bartz, Terence Blanchard, Christian McBride & Lewis Nash I wanted to see him so badly, but I was out of town. I hope he comes around soon. I'll be there in March to catch one of Chick Corea's sets!

Peter Gabriel was the one resonsible for making the duduk internationally known when he used Levon Minassian's duduk tracks for the music to the movie The Last Temptation of Christ in 1988. A couple years later, Gabriel released his CD Passion which was an album that contained completed versions of the music cues from the film score. Before 1988, no one but Armenians really knew what the duduk was. It was after all this that Gasparyan became popular and you started hearing duduk on film scores and other non-Armenian artists' CDs.
