    Im very interested in the book. and it seems a rare find as it costs a whole whopping 30 $ on amazon. So how do you know that we’ve spread the word about your site? and does posting the rebellious arab girl music video that you made for me count?

    I know you spread the word by me searching on Google. Also, if you would tell me that would even be better! That way I know you are interested in the book! :)

    Maybe Brian, you can make another song or something different that I can post in the end of the month. Like a celebration song for the end of Ramadan. Anything you can do! :) I am just counting this month, not the previous efforts. :)

    I do like the middle eastern tone for sure. I want it old style too… like Aladdin (Disney) music in the beginning of the movie.

    i went back and watched the opening of aladdin so i could get a good picture of what you want… :grin: i think i have a song in mind for you.
    Ill post it on my site a few days before Eid ul-Fitr.
    have you ever read the original version from a thousand and one nights? totally different from the movie…i liked the story better but the disney version is too cool to deny.
