DK: You are a treasure seeker and finder! God bless you!

These are great clips. We were too poor and too backward a family to be able to watch and appreciate these shows when they were aired in Iran.

But, with my limited access to vacuum tube and transistor radios and TV set I was able to listen to pop, Jazz, and classical music when I was growing up in Iran. I wish I had the opportunity to play an instrument, any instrument .

Thank god for the Radio Television Melli Iran! I remember from mid 70's the radio program called, "Film Music!" And the opening piece was from the movie, " The Midnight Cowboy Theme!"

Now, I encourage my son to learn  multiple instruments to sort of compensate for my shortcomings!

Again thank you for your dedicated search for lost treasures of the Pahlavi era!

I remember those shows. If I recall correctly, Kourosh Ali Khan himself also was a multi instrumentalist and of Afghani origin I believe. But he was more focused on Jazz and not much into mixing it with traditional Persian flavours.
