Great piece and - having met only briefly with Ghassam and Theo in Damascus - wonderful to hear you play guitar and better understand your background and life. Looking forward to more pieces of Theo too

It was a real treat to hear this story, with what snippets of song it included.
Is there somewhere on the internet where we can hear more of Ghassan's music? he is truly talented, and I really hope he'll make it to Montana someday.
As a Russian immigrant in a America, I highly empathize with his "American Dream." though we come from very different background, I share his belief in the land of opportunity, this free land.

also, Ghassan - you might want to make a myspace music profile? Your songs would reach a lot of people there.

Thanks,

Despite the somber subject, it was great to hear Ghassan talking in his own way about his troubled background, situation, dreams and the pull and significance western music has had in all of this. Interesting and sobering interview.

Wishing that all yours hopes and dreams come true in the not too distant future.

See you around at http://www.macjams.com in the meantime.

I absolutely LOVED hearing this great man's journey. Any idea on how to get in touch with him? I'd love to send him some music.

Thanks!

Ahlan Ghassan,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful music with us this morning. I grew up playing John Denver's Country Road, Take Me Home and The House of the Rising Sun over and over and over again on my guitar- especially while I was away from home while living in the Gulf. It's incredible that you played those two songs for the show today.

I hope -like the other listeners - that you will join us in the States some day soon.

Salaam,
Susan

Feter, hearing this interview made my day. Keep your hopes my friend.

Ghassan, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to hear you speaking after listening for so long to the voice of Mr Sanchez. I wish you every blessing in following your chosen path in life. You know you can do it.

Feter,
Great interview! I wish you the best in your dreams to journey across the pond and make a life here n the US.

Peace,

Feter,
I enjoyed this interview, and I am hoping and praying you make it to Bozeman. You might consider Alberta Canada too because it is basically "northern Montana" ;o) I truly am honored to know you my friend, and I am really happy to have caught this interview. I feel I am closer to you now. Good luck my friend you are in my prayers.
Peace
Guy

Feter,

I had no idea this was your background. I'm proud to have done a collab with you via the internet. This was a wonderful story, and I hope you can get to the USA to realize your dreams.

See you at Macjams

Feter,
You are absolutely wonderful and I pray that things work out and all your dreams come true. Your story will not end in Syria. You have too many people praying for your journey home to the USA.

See you in Bozeman.

Feter,

This was amazing. You are amazing. We will always rally behind you in whatever you may endeavor to do in life. I look forward to writing more music with you whether you are in Syria or in Montana (and maybe you will even visit Bellingham one day)!

All my best,

Feter,

This was a joy as I listened to this interview. It only increases my hope for you that somehow a door will be opened for you to enter the U.S. Until then... more music collaborations and God be with you! See you at MacJams.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

This was very exciting for me to listen to, having had the pleasure of doing song collabs with Ghassan via the Internet. I'm amazed at the knowledge of American music Ghassan has. He is a very gifted musician and songwriter, and I hope to be able to sing with him in person one day soon.
