hey. thanks for this. i plan to interview Tamer Nafer of DAM on my radio show Sonic Planet this Saturday. www.wicb.org 5-7pm EST
Also saw with interest your post about Al Kweiti brothers on your other blog. Old friend Yair Dalal has been involved in promoting/preserving their legacy in Israel. He says there are piles of recordings of the immigrant radio performers at Kol Yisrael archives.
