Country Music & Salalah

(1) WASTA IS NOT AN OPTION ANYMORE DAMMIT.
.
(2) Tomorrow is a public holiday for the public sector whereas us miserable creatures in the private sector get Thursday off.
.
(3) To my favorite reader: Dear "Ahmed ... SO LONG": you are the only other person I know in this town who listens to George Strait's music. I adore you. In fact, you're the 2nd person I've ever known in Salalah with a passion for country music. Coming to think of it, I knew an older Dhofari gentleman who kept his Kenny Rogers CD collection in his majlis. In fact, his son is called Ahmed. Should I be worried?
.
(4) Crappiest weather EVER in Salalah this week. Dust. Wind. More dust. More wind.
.
(5) Ahmed, my theme song today is Brad Paisley's Everything. Have a nice weekend everyone...
.
PS (Dhofaris are cowboys at heart)

  2. Being motivated by those who share their perspectives through their blogs,I have decided to have the courage to establish my own blog to shape my scattered thoughts in coherent structure.

  4. Heya

    I can guarantee you that there're at least couple of Dhofari country music fans! At least I know couple of them since collage days!
    Kenny rogers, and John denver Were very popular with them. Saeed working in Oman TV, his bro, Dr. Ahmed in Royal Hospital, Salem Ba Omar to name a few!
    So I can say safely that there's some county music culture in Dhofar!

    Enjoy!
