first of all, i cannot say how happy and excited i am that arthur ispirian has decided to sing songs from the past. his video premiere, asum en te showed last night on rubikon and the reaction was fantastic. the song is one of a kind, composed by khachadur avedisyan and words by sylva gabudikyan... fantastic. the chorus, asum en te sere sud e, chem havadum im angin... is known by most armenians and the song just simply... a treasure.

the music video took you back to the yerevan of yesterday (somewhere many yerevantsis would rather be)... with clips and bits from old armenian movies... to a performance by arthur which was outstanding .

the premiere show was also fantastic. he took the time to thank his beautiful wife and to express how much she supports him. what a great guy!

the day before was womens day. arthur had to run around a slew ot tv stations to congratulate women all over armenia... being a heart-throb is sure a hard job! he also made time to congratulate the special lady in his life with flowers and lots of hugs... and a dedication of his new album.

in other news, we have an event today at work and so i have decided to straighten my afro curls into a more presentable hairdo... for those of you who have seen me... you may be wondering... who i have found to straighten these curls... i must say i am not sure if it can be done... but am off to the hairdressers to find out.
