https://www.markus-k.com - Sunday afternoon at the Ortakoy Mosque in Istanbul. I couldn't resist. I waited for the recording of the Muslim chanting over the loudspeakers to finish before I started my first song. I was stopped by the police after only 3 songs but it was worth it for the experience. The song is an old blues tune called 'CC Rider'. You can find a studio recording on my album Blue Funk: https://www.markus-k.com/blue-funk/ Get access to ALL 8 blues fusion albums by making a simple donation here (pay what you want): https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/MarkusKoehorst
