"H-Town | 10.6.2011"

I flew to Houston last month to attend my cousin's wedding & decided to set up a last-minute show ... It turned out to be a very memorable evening thanks to the Houston chapter of the Network of Arab-American Professionals (NAAP) - who graciously set up a concert for me at the Avantgarden.



Performing 'SUPERHERO':



Performing 'FINJAN':



While in Houston I also got to meet one of my dear friend's uncles, Mr. Farouk Shami - aka the 'richest hairdresser in the world' ... As I toured his headquarters, factories & warehouses I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride & admiration for what this Palestinian immigrant was able to accomplish through his hard work & vision (masha'Allah) ... He has a personal relationship with everyone on the factory floor & still renews his Barbering / Cosmetology license annually!
