Re: Greek mandolin music
Fascinating. During the run of my Italian restaurant gig I ventured out of the box a bit to include a couple of Greek songs: "Never On Sunday" and "Yerakina," the latter being something I learned from the Before Time, an album called "Theodore Bikel and Geula Gill Sing Folk Songs From Just About Everywhere." It was my introduction to world music, at the impressionable age of 8 or 10. Sadly, it's still not available on CD, 60 years later. I also included "Lara's Theme," which isn't really Russian, I don't think, and because the bartender loved it, and I liked her, "Blue Bayou." Done right, it sounds Italian.
But it's nice to see and hear all these. It'll take some time to go through them all, but I expect it'll be worth it. Thanks!
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
