Istanbul Reflections...'Cause I Feel Like I Owe It...to Someone!

I am glad to share photos from my recent journey to Ahmet's homeland. I already cannot wait to return. Many thanks to the endless support from so many good peoples, for so many years, and special thanks to Cigedm Aksut, Melis Doga, and Volkan Aslan of Istanbul, Turkiye, IBB Culture Department. 

To Enter the Hagia Sophia is breathtaking! 

 A space of beauty and antiquity 

Speechless!

The details of ceilings 200 feet overhead

Two-hundred ancient columns holding the roof of the Cistern. A brilliant Roman Empire invention! 

Treasures of ancient Greece, relocated to Istanbul to serve an underwater fate through the centuries! 

A City Square

 The Great Ataturk! 

Extending a hand of peace, and hope, to the new Republic! 

 You quickly find out why Istanbul is the City of Cats...

                                                                                   And Food! 

A Home of  the Sultans of Constantinople! 

 A solemn and quiet place

This moment, this day...unbelievable! 

"For the memory of Ahmet Ertegun, in the days when Atlantic Records was the most magnificent record company on the planet!"---Robert Plant

In Memoriam: Ioana Maria "Mica" Banu Ertegun 1926-2023 (Episode #411)

Our hearts are heavy in Ahmet's House this day, as we heard of Mica Ertegun's passing on the morning of Saturday December 2nd, in her Southampton, NY home. She was 97. 

A woman of amazing charm, intelligence and grace, she welcomed me into her home on many occasions, and opened many doors. I will miss that warmth and appreciation she freely gave. Tonight will be a small thank you to Mica, as we share a conversation we had from 2010. 

                                                                Mica Ertegun in 1979

Educated on JAZZ!

... "By my man AHMET Ertegun, my friend!" Thus opens our show tonight, the words of a true friend to Mr. Ertegun, a man who carried him to his grave. Kid Rock, quoted in a jazz episode in Ahmet's House? Yes, that is how wide and high this house is. It serves as the inspiration and gateway for this evenings show. It is Bob's quote, but the first song title could easily apply to Atlantic's iconic founder as well. Enjoy! 

Good times!
