From sunny NoCal

There's a saying in Bangla, "Killing two birds with one stone". Likewise, this trip east-ward representes a fulfilment of many goals for the three of us. First and foremost, we get to see everyone! It's been almost 3 years since we departed Beantown and took the Northern trail to sunny NoCal. Second, it gives everyone the opportunity to meet one of the newer members of the "Kojon" family; Zaif. :) Just what kind of participant he will be - well y'all will find out soon enough, Insh'Allah. Finally, this trip is about music. It's been a while since the stubby fingers typing these words have participated in a righteous jam session; 'Kojon will fix that I hope. And in the end isn't that what Amra Kojon is all about? A few honest souls making honest music? I am excited, Munazah is excited, and Zaif is excited. Borrowing from "that" quote: "music fills all our hearts!"
