From the distance we hear the approach of horses and camels and the bizarre and melancholy notes of an oriental melody. <br /><br />A caravan approaches, escorted by Russian soldiers, and continues safely on its way through the immense desert. It disappears slowly. The notes of the Russian and Asiatic melodies join in a common harmony, which dies away as the caravan disappears in the distance.”</i><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-61694124741175509152018-02-04T06:15:22.789-06:002018-02-04T06:15:22.789-06:00He had quite an interesting life, great selection....He had quite an interesting life, great selection.Bunkervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427978686579892380noreply@blogger.com
