labeleh festivalon opened tonight at levontin/delayed

First I want to sayI am sorry, I have not managed to up load the music I promised last time, I hope I will learn how to up load soon.

and yet, I am ready for tonight's big news, Macabi lost to BNEI Hasharon.
Earlier, at Levontin I was waiting to see if people are going to arrive for Zohar Fresco's concert on a rainy Monday night. Levontin 7 is somewhere in down town Tel Aviv. Capacity is about 200.
Zohar the genius percussion man, the one with the unique voice is really excited.
once i saw audience waiting on the stairs on the way down to the basement i felt a dejavu.
My best friend Eli Naum comes in and say, like the time has never past. "sichakta ota" you did it man.

35 years a go I started "underground sounds" at "bar barim" on Ben Avigdor 10. it was a basement club dedicated to jazz every Sunday night. the legendary Mel Keller, a great musician and a wonderful man, with the young Aharon kaminsky, Israel's best ever drummer invited people to play. this is where we got our education. Mel Keller explained
to the audience about jazz, it is not explainable.
any way I was a young soldier with plenty of free time, the army allowed me to work on my free time in order to support my parents, at the time they both were not healthy and did not make any money in order to make a living.
I have decided to have a world with music that no body could hear on the radio and is not available in record stores and to ask people to pay for listening to vanilla fudge, Pink Floyd,.

on the first night I had misic by the Beatles bootlegs, Pink floyed, King Crimson, Steve Winwood and more.
Hillel Avramov played the discs.
At midnight we had a live set with Itzak Clepter, Misha Segal and a drumer idon't remember.
We asked for 2.5 Israeli Lira at the door and the room was packed. I was in heaven.
First night at Levontin mini festival with the first set by Zohar Fresco and second by Izabo gave me the same shot.
