The Man Behind the Setars

10/16/2017

One evening, in the University City Loop Phil and Merferd were fortunate enough to meet a gifted Kurdish musician. He was playing near Ranoush, a Middle  Eastern/Syrian restaurant. The restaurant had been damaged during the recent protests. And the Merferd and Ranoush trolley peace train picture was still covering the broken glass front doors.
As you watch him playing, the camera moves to the restaurant. Merferds are covering part of the restaurant. That part of the restaurant was damaged when protesters took to University City, Missouri a few weeks earlier.
Picture
His host church is one of all races and an especially goodly amount of recent immigrants. We could not have sought out a better musician as an opening act for our documentary November 10 and 11 at 7:00 pm at New City South.
Phil and Merferd were taken into outer-space and back. They were taken to the ends of the earth and back.
They were raptured by his music. They stood  there in awe. Then he told us that the song was thousands of years old.

We are honored that he'll be performing before the documentary "The Man Behind the Merferds," November 10th and 11th as the doors open at 6:00, at a place of many peoples and nations "New City South."
