I would like you to reply. I am sending this message to all my friends, searching for help. I would like to study

east-european and gypsy folk guitar music playing. I want to develop my playing skills, and would like to find

friends to help me. If I need to come I will come there where you are.

I am interested in folk music, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Russian, Gypsy and other East

European folk.

I want to improve my guitar playing skills.

Also I am interested in Greek, Jewish, Caucasian folk music- that is interesting.

And I will help you if I can help you in anyway concerning performing, playing music, making concerts.

Hope on friendship

I've got a message from my cousin who live in Germany. His name is Ruslan. I have't seen him for 10 years or more. I didnt talk to him after that time, he as just 11 y.o when we met last time. Then some time ago I've found his address through German website, to be exact, I've sent a request to teh administartion of the city where he probably lived. they were so kind to find and to send me his address, and I've sent a postacard or two to him. After that time we exchanged some e-mail, but not many times. last days I've snet emails to him and sent him my photo. I was curious how does he look like. He was very nice when he was a 11 years old boy, he spoke just german, and I've even noticed that he look like me, especially some face features and hands, and something reminded of me being a small girl. I dont have such relatives, so that was very interesting. I was about 5 years older than Ruslan. I dont remember exactly. Today he sent me his photo! Mostly they say I look like my father but now I see that Ruslan looks more like my father when he was at his age than me :). That is very interesting. So I come to think who I look like :) and where my parents found me. :). But I was really surprised, why does he look like this, maybe because he is half Kazakh and half Russian, and many of my relatives from farther side look like half-eastern and half-western. They should pay more attention to their roots.

But I want to express how I am surprised, he look like my father at his age. I remember the photos of my farther when he was at about 20, he had such look, and even he dressed like Ruslan on this photo. And he look more like him than me. That makes me think that I am not only look like my father, but they cannot compare me anyone else, so maybe I need to find my features somewhere very very far in the past, from my farther side, where we had some european roots.



Isn't he handsome? :)
