Long-time listeners of the Small World know that I've only done a handful shows in the last few months. The Small World website was hacked by some kids in Turkey a while back and no matter what i did they kept hacking back into the site.
That was a headache but on top of that, the Small World website acts as a kind of calling card when I invite people to be guests on the show. By viewing the website they can get an idea of the kind of show I produce as well as getting a sense of the history of the Small World. Without the website people take me less seriously and so it's difficult to get guest to appear on the show.
Earlier this month I made the deciion to nuke the website and build it up from scratch, which was painful to do because I lost over two and half years of entries into the Small World database. But in the end I had to do it because the database was crrupted and that's what allowed the hackers to keeping getting into the website.
I'll have things back in hand in January and I want to thank oyu for being patient and remaining subscribed to the Small World.
In the meantime, I wanted to put out one more show until that happens and today we're going to listen to the music of the Varimezov Bulgarian Ensemble.
I saw the Ensemble Saturday evening while attending the2007 Yuletide Celebration at the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angelese with my friend Leah. Ever since I first met Leah she's been raving about the Museum so when she invite me to attend the celebration I jumped at the opportunity.
While I was there I had the pleasure of listening to the music of the Varimezov Bulgarian Ensemble and I recorded a few of their songs on my iRiver. The audio isn't great but it's good enough that it captures the spirit of their performance.
