Jahanshah and Faramarz have known each other for a number of years. It was fun watching two old friends see each other and greet each other in a warm and friendly banter, typical of old friendships which endure absences and distances, slipping right into the familiarity and continuity reserved for weathered friendships.
Just as he was reading the news, the first segment of his weekly program, we heard someone knocking hard on the door to the studio. I ran out to help stop the raucous which was threatening the live radio broadcast, and I found it was Jahanshah! He was Khodayari’s next guest, there to talk about the upcoming Iranian.com music festival.
Faramarz was assisted by Dr. Malcolm Cecil (behind the glass window) in place of his lovely wife Farinaz who usually helps the program. This was only my second time in a radio station, so I got busy looking around while he set up for the hour-long program.
Faramarz ran a radio program in our area for 18 years up until four years ago when he gave it up for some other Iranian culture-related activities. Apparently he couldn’t stay away from doing good for Iranian culture causes, because he came back to KUSF last January to resume his weekly program.
Faramarz had come prepared with music from Lily Afshar and Fared Shafinury which he played for his audience. He and Jahanshah talked comfortably and it was a good chance for me to take some good “bi-hava” photographs of them!
I went to visit Faramarz Khodayari at KUSF radio station during his weekly radio program, Havaye Tazeh Sunday afternoon. Gracious and kind, he met me at University of San Francisco’s cafeteria where he treated me to a dry double cappuccino.
