Joel Posted March 16, 2009 Hello everyone, Wow! What a great Forum! My name is Joel and Im based in Melbourne Australia at the moment I have been reading over for a few days and am very pleased I have to say my knowing of the Tao is not deep and I know that here is a good place to start! I am a musician I study classical Persian music I play the Setar which is different to the indian Sitar its about 1000 years older and I also play the Tar and Tanbur. True persian music in its purest form comes from the Darvishes which a lot of people call sufi's. Their music to me and the way its played reminds me of The way a taoist plays the guqin or erhu or any other Chinese instrument! I am in love with these two forms of music as they are to me the purest form and help me as a person carve away the access! ~joel~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
