This channel is a hodge-podge of videos about whatever is interesting to me at the moment.

I've been grateful lately for the kind support viewers have given for my singing in Persian. This means everything to me. If I don't respond to specific comments, that doesn't mean anything. I remove all the nasty ones, leave in all the good ones, and
meanwhile I just keep singing whatever songs I like and have the energy to learn no matter what anybody says.

I have a couple of friends who really do like to hear these. They are the ones I really upload them for, but when people I haven't met also like them, that's a joy! Some people don't like them, for reasons I can understand. I'm not a good musician, but I love to play that guitar and sing. I have no idea why. It may be a rebellious streak that came out when I was a teenager and my dad kept telling me not to play guitar because it would ruin my life.

Thanks friends!

Dear John,
With your Music you are welcome to heart of many Iranian! Manly hugs from me, I am very saddened for politicians who have decided to put their nose in Irans affair and not letting us to be friends!

John, Im sorry, But i accidentally pressed on remove on your comment! Instead of reply. Im really sorry about that.. but of course, Whenever you will be in the UK, my doors are open for you! My son who is 14 also plays on the electric guitar a little bit. And im sure he would be glad about your visit.
P.S. : Would you happen to speak persian as well?

Hello John :)
Thank you very much for accepting to be my friend!
I am also called john (hence the part of my name) and from my father's side i am Tajik from The valley of the five lions- Panjsher- in a land today known as Afghanistan. However, the real name is Khorasan.
From my mother's side, i am Polish. And i was also born there. And my mother was also very fluent in persian. And believe me, i knew a LOT of foreigners who spoke in this language. Like Russians, Czech republicans, germans, french, and many others. But no one ever spoke persian so beautifully as you, obviously apart from my mother :-)
Do you know why i think that? Because you sing the words, not speak them . And these words clearly come from your heart-Bravo to you for that, That you as a person interested yourself in such a distant country. But there is something in that.

Kindest Regards,
JohnTheAriai.
