حضرت يوم الأربعاء الماضي حفل ختام مهرجان القرين الثاني عشر، وكانت ليلة الفنان القدير حسين جاسم مع الفرقة الوطنية الكويتية للموسيقى

حسين جاسم من مواليد 1944، حاصل على دبلوم معهد المعلمين - شعبة الموسيقى عام 1967، متزوج ولديه من الأبناء خمسة - ثلال بنات وولدان. عمل مدرسا للتربية الموسيقية من عام 1967 ولمدة 12 سنة ثم صار وكيلا لمدة 14 سنة. ثم ناظرا منذ 1994 حتى 2002، حيث تقاعد من الوظيفة

بدأ حياته الفنية في عام 1967من خلال مشاركته في الأنشطة الفنية والموسيقية التي كانت تقام في معهد المعلمين، فقدم الأغنية الدينية والوطنية، بالإضافة إلى الأدوار والموشحات وغيرها من فنون الطرب الأصيل

ثم اتجه إلى الإذاعة الكويتية وشارك في أوبريت غنائي بعنوان "المنبوذ"، وانطلق بعد ذلك منها كمطرب

:من أشهر أغانيه

يا إلــه الكون

أوبريت شعلة العلم

أيا غالي يا بو الموقة

الفرحة طابت

يا ناعم العود

توني عرفتك زين

يا معيريس

حكاية بحار

شاوصف فيك شاخللي منك

حلفت عمري

شمعة الجلاس

وغيرها الكثير

في عام 1974 اعتزل الغناء أو ابتعد عنه ثم عاد بعد تحرير الكويت بمجموعة من الأغاني الوطنية منها "هلت أعياد النصر يا كويت" كما أعاد تصوير أغنيته العاطفية "حلفت عمري". كما شارك في أوبريت "القادة" بمناسبة انعقاد مؤتمر قمة قادة دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي في الكويت عام 1991

:غنى في هذه الليلة ثلاث أغنيات هي

حلفت عمري

(يا ناعم العود (مع ابنه أحمد حسين

صوت السهارى

"وختمها برابعة هي مقطع من أغنية عبد الوهاب "كل ده كان ليه

أقول بدع؟ شوية عليه

It was soooo good
For you guys who missed it: You did miss a unique night of authentic Kuwaiti art.

(I wanted to link a video clip of one of the songs but didn't know how to do it. Anyone can tell me how to have a URL for any clips saved on my computer and hence how to attach it?)

Happy New Year to all of you.
Any suggestions of where to spend New Year's Eve?

My very best blogger

(& my best source of information)is back to posting. I'm soo happy to see her back.

It's almost 2 am and i feel like walking. The weather is so nice and i had a big meal at 6 pm. I'm stuffed, Do you think i should go walking now? I have an important meeting at work in 6 hours and i can't sleep now. I know i'll be sleepy around 4 or 5 and i won't have enough time to sleep. Eee shasawee? I'm too tensed i can't sleep. I've been working for 11 hours (of course i took a 45 min. break to chill and have my meal). And still i don't know if my boss will like the work done.

I'm sooo in love with this kid. Don't you think he's cute?

Last but not least: I went to a beautiful concert last Tuesday at al-Hashemi II - Radisson SAS. It was the Embassy of Belgium, in collaboration with the Kuwait Chamber Philharmonia, who presented a special Chamber Concert by:

The Simoens Trio

The Simoens Trio is represented by three sisters who, since 2002 have established and developed a fine reputation as young and talented musicians:

Katrijn Simoens - piano,

An Simoens - violin, and

Veerle Simoens - cello.

They well-played music from Hayden, Dvorak, Mozart, Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich.Several prized were awarded to them and they released their first CD in September 2005 with work from Joseph Hayden, Robert Schumann, Bohuslav Martinu and Frederic Devreese.

Was a beautiful night. I just wished i had my sisters there with me.

The American Hospital

"...These men! Who are they? Are they diplomats? Are they politicians? Merchants? No! These men have come here to teach us, and the Lord knows we are as ignorant as donkeys. They will build a hospital and take care of our sick. Everybody dies today. But when these men come, we shall have our sick attended to. The doctor wants something. I don't know what it is but I want to say publicly that whatever he wants, I am going to give it to him."

So spoke Sheikh Mubarak Al-Sabah - the 6th ruler of Kuwait (1896-1915), known as "Mubarak the Great" or "Mubarak Al Kabeer" - to his people, at the time the Arabian Mission of the Reformed Church of America was established in Kuwait.
Sheikh Mubarak prudently saw the advantages of setting up a hospital in Kuwait and was its greatest patron.
Although the original piece of land for the Mission compound was paid for by the Arabian Mission itself, Sheikh Mubarak donated an extra acre to square off the property.

Now despite his impolite speech, the man was GREAT. Could you imagine what could happen nowadays if such a mission was to do her job in Kuwait? I mean they would act as

لجنة التعريف بغير الإسلام

إذا كانوا المسلمين نفسهم مو بالعين بعض وكل واحد ينتقد دين الثاني وطقوسه. شراح يصير لو مثلا وجدت بعثة للتبشير باليهودية في الكويت؟

I've been quite busy lately preparing for Al Qurain Festival so I kinda swept away with the American Hospital thing. Preserving historical buildings is something we should thank the government for taking care of but ........ (Can you finish the sentence?)

After all it is a beautiful building

وحسافة فيه يظل بلا معنى

يا ريت المعرض يكون شي يسوى ويستاهل الافتتاح في مهرجان القرين

By the way, if any of you guys could get any information of where i might find any old pictures of the American Hospital. it would be much appreciated.
