Following are emails between KingArthur.com and Aiax, a Russian
singer/songwriter. They explain how the beginning of the idea
went from being a dream to a reality.
Dear Aiax,
The Music Club would like to propose the following
cultural exchange program:
KingArthur.com will award a $3,000 USD scholarship...
to one of it's members (age 16 or older)... for the
purpose of returning with you... for a 2-3 week stay
in Russia.
From what you have told me, this should be enough money for you
and the American to record in a Russian recording studio.
That is... if you are willing?
Sincerely,
Dear Daniel,
Geniusly. Couldn't be better!!!! I could show him(her) many interesting
places, including: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Black Sea Coast of Caucasus.
And, many other things, too. I could also teach them some Russian guitar
style and musical heritage of the land. For us to conclude with recording
sessions in the studio, would be certain to memorialize the occasion.
Thank you. May we succeed in making our dream come true.
Sincerely,
KingArthur.com
Aiax
