Recently discovered video of an early performance by Zorba at Janette's "Casbah Cabaret" from 2005. Digitized from 15 year old video tape, quality isn't the greatest. Arms aren't the greatest either, and I really needed to do something with my veil besides "Toreador"! This was before I learned how to keep my finger cymbals (Saroyan "King Tuts" this time) on whilst performing veil - putting them back on like I did here is just tacky! I've learned quite a bit since then - it is what it is!
Finger cymbals are tricky to mic under the best of conditions, in this case they overloaded the camera mic and caused the main music to fade to the background.
