SIAM NIMARIT

Greg and I went to the Siam Nimarit show. It was absolutely gorgeous. The costumes and artful dance were amazing. At one point the spotlight shown on Greg and 2 beautifully costumed girls came and escorted Greg to the stage. He was given a hat and a bamboo instrument. I was surprised that Greg actually kept in tune and played the songs without a glitch. After his performance he was given a Hill Tribe Patterned Scarf.

**Greg insisted on wearing his prescription sunglasses instead of his regular eye glasses, I told him they probably picked him because they thought he was either blind or Don Johnson from his Miami Vice days. I am also pretty sure Greg was sleeping during the show , cause I had to shake him to let him know the light was shinning on him. Greg will ofcourse deny it.****

we were not allowed to have cameras in the show so no photos

The Bamboo instrument in the right upper corner of the picture is the one
Greg played. I do not now what its called.



This lovely lady was actually playing in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel.

The music and the way she danced with her hands as she played were so graceful. It was an art form.
