I've been in the bunker for the last few weeks with two more weeks left. I am finishing up a grueling summer session of MBA classes. I want to get done with this program ASAP so I can move on to other things. I did have time to watch a movie this weekend. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was pretty funny as I had a few laughs.

In other news... now that the "Yeraz" CD hype is winding down in some ways, it's time to focus on the next CD release. The next Pomegranate Music release is Armenian Voices performed by the Hover Chamber Choir of Armenia. Folks, I have to say that this is one hell of a CD. The release date is Nov. 26, 2002 to coincide with "Ararat" being released in the theaters on Nov 29, 2002 here in the States. Some of the male choir members of Hover will be on the soundtrack of "Ararat" by longtime film score expert Mychel Danna. my view is that Armenian Voices displays Armenia at its finest in terms of music. The choir replicates much of the program that won them the Gold Medal at the Choral Olympics in Linz, Austria in 2000. The recording was finished long ago, now the finishing touches are being put on the design work by none other than the great designer Arsineh Khachikian. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing her back in Boston. As are about 200 of her AYF followers...Just in time for Olympics...

Been reading Lena's stories on Georgia with suprising interest. I really have no interest in their country or culture except that Armenians had a lot to do with building that nation. I'm more interested that Lena gets back to the home team in one piece...Retirement in Armenia sounds pretty much like a no-brainer...
