For me, this was my first time listening to a podcast and my first time actually posting on a blog site. As far as the story goes, I thought it was a very well told story and one that was very easy to listen to for the storyteller read it so well. Soloman had a great challenge going into a country that just started a war with the world's premier super power. After many civilians told him that there were no musicians or poets in Afghanistan anymore, Soloman persevered and never once believed them. One day his perseverance payed off and eventually found a group of musicians. The theme of perseverance is what I am going to take away the most from this story.

To go further: I think for him to find art in a bleak place or where everyone claims there is no music or art, and to not listen to what others told him is pretty inspiring. Everyone said that he couldn't find it but instead of listening to them, he was determined to find it and went there himself. That tells me to question everything. I was inspired to find things out for myself and when people say something, not to always take their word for it but to go experience it see it for myself. Perseverance does play a big part in this, too.
