This was my second appearance at BUC (now LAU) following the concert at Irwin Hall in 1987.
The all-star line-up included Abboud Saadi, who for decades has personified bass playing in Lebanon, and Ibrahim Jaber on a wide array of percussive instruments.
Emile Boustani, "The Human Metronome", and Walid Itayim once again.
The choir chores were handled admirably by Issa Ghandour, popular vocal star, and Stephanie, who began her singing career at a young age with the Ziad Rahbani group.
Hani Sibliny, talented keyboard player/arranger, provided the extra punch.
The audience on its collective foot while the band performed the national anthem.
