Ambassador Simonyi celebrated America’s Independence Day playing blues at McDaniel College

András Simonyi participated at the two-week institute called Common Ground on the Hill in Westminster, Maryland on July 4. From the many happenings of the annual event he joined the „Search for Common Ground” class to share his thought with the members of the circle on the changes Hungary and its society went through in the past sixteen years and had an extraordinary guitar class with Scott Ainslie, outstanding master of the sensuous slide guitar. He also joined for a few songs on the blues stage with gifted singer Shelley Ensor.

Professors Henry Reiff and Dean Walt Michael were excellent hosts.
