"Dazed by the grandeur and depth of the melodic phrases, a stranger
to them, young and without strength, I believed suddenly that the
song I was listening to was my own, utterly my own story."
(Hadjidkis about the rebetika)

To put in a plug for another Italian crooner ... of course everyone
has their favorite music and musicians!

One of my Favorites:
Paolo Conte : Mr. Rough-and-gritty-singing-in-a-smoke-filled-bar

Especially: 'Happy Feet' or "Music for your Feet Madame" ...

(Italian and English, scanned from the CD liner notes)

One year ago we had here a most unusual discussion about
music, saved here, for the moment.
