Ethiopian night club

We went to Yod Abyssinia last night for food and  entertainment. In the scheme of things we got there late, about 7:30, and the place was almost full. We were escorted to a table to share with some locals who were very nice. There was a band ... flute, percussion, guitar, and I do not remember what else. The music was enjoyable and there was an assortment of singers and acrobatics on stage for a few hours. Some of the acts were quite extraordinary. The food was traditional Ethiopian and somewhat to my liking.

Some friends, Abraha, wife and one of their staff from home showed up about 9 and we visited with them before I cabbed it back to Deker. I am adding him to the list for people who want something from Canada; so far that list is:

Dr. Paul --> Oreos and maple syrup
Tagel --> a label maker
Melaku --> CBT guitar training or book
Abraha --> will let me know
Hiruy --> tennis balls

Robert Dorsey I am bringing a ukelele for since he has shown so much interest in my guitar. Melaku called and said the guitar strap amplifier had an A/C (power) problem ans may be fixed as soon as today. That would be sweet. Still no plans for the weekend but would like to get to merkato and look at some shoes and shirts. Stay tuned naturally for the debut of the new suit on Monday evening.
