The night before- no matter if it is a DJ show, concert, or what have you, the butterflies are still there. Tomorrow night the Boston area gets a chance to hear one of Armenia's treasures in singer Lilit Pipoyan. The whole community is buzzing about this show. Getting a chamber quartet to rehearse with the artist is an expensive and tough task in that the time is limited. After dress rehearsal today in Cambridge, MA, I am convinced this will be the world music concert of the year. Lilit is in top form and the quartet is cohesive.

Also, the big news for Pomegranate is that Lilit and I have tenatively agreed to release a third album on my label. After corresponding for more than one year via email, we finally met face to face and just got the deal done. Look for the new Lilit Pipoyan album in 2005 on Pomegranate Music...

Ms. Pipoyan took a break from practice tonight and went to the Flamenco Festival in Boston. There are two song and dance troups from Seville in town for 4 days. After a week and a half of intense organiziation of both Gor and Lilit, I am going to sit back and crack open some Pomegranate Wine Gor gave me last week, watch HBO's OZ, and just fall asleep... I am pretty tired...

If anyone is interested, the Lilit Pipoyan concert is at Longy School of Music at 7:30 tomorrow night... www.longy.edu for directions...
