Family band - a photo on Flickriver

Family band

My friend Pasha is one of the maddest and wildest musicians I know (and I know some; most part of my “warm circle” are musicians, painters, writers, photographers, potters, poets, filmmakers, travelers and other artists). His main instrument is duduk. I have one, too, which is Pasha’s. He gave it to our mutual friend. That friend tried to buy a new reed and the seller told him that he’ll better buy new duduk with the reed practically for the same price. (Don’t know, why. This one is good, though the reeds are pricey). Which he did. And gave this old duduk for me. In our circle we have some amount of wander instruments. As well as clothes etc. I, for example, value pretty high one sweater, which before me wore about 3 or more good musicians. I suppose that I’ll not the last who wear it. And a wonderful shirt, which my friends called “the tapestry”. It’s a part of my concert image, as well as the “golden jeans”, which gave me my mom. And this old green ragged sweater.
Once Pasha gave me a couple of reeds for his duduk, which live in my home several years already. He didn’t ask it back. He has some more.
I didn’t wish Pasha happy birthday last time. I do such things. Don’t like social networks much, prefer to meet in person. I even answer comments on Flickr when in the mood. Especially on the good ones. Could postpone answers for months. They're piling up, I feel a bit guilty and one day answering all day long. Then they piling again. I’m so sorry, my friends! I love your comments.
Pasha, on the other hand, didn’t invite me to a birthday. Maybe “relocated” (one of the most popular words in Russia now) for not to be mobilized against his will for war. A lot of my friends fled to other countries for the same reason. A lot of Russians don’t want to fight against Ukraine. Me too. Of course. Literally millions are “relocated”. I just don’t live in the place of registration, preparing to flee if that will be necessary. Someday we’ll met with Pasha and celebrate all what we missed. Meantime I made this birthday present to him, quite a long time after his birthday. I’ll send it him anyway.
Actually, I was looking for another photo on my computer, with another friend and place, but stumbled on this one. Don’t even sure, that I made it (there’s me on some other photos from this series, maybe my fair wife did it, but she’s high on Elbrus with our eleven-year-old daughter, I’ll ask her, when they’ll return, she wouldn’t mind anyway).
(hopefully to be continued…)
