Hiya radu, good week, not much happening for me this weekend. My 25 year old Ford Explorer is having fuel issues, taking it in Monday.

'Sup with you and the kittehs?

[Fiji Hill]

Anyone out there speak Modern Greek?

Konstantinoupolis (Constantinople)--Tetos Demetriadis, with Nat Shilkret & the Victor Orchestra (1928)

Here's an English version, but I don't think it's a translation.

Constantinople--Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra (1928)

[PROCON]

Thanks for tonight’s Canteen, Galz, hope you have a great weekend!

[Fiji Hill]

I Found My Yellow Basket--Chick Webb & His Orchestra with Ella Fitzgerald (1938)
Answer to "A-Tisket A-Tasket"

[luvie]

Thanks, PRO! I’m planning on it being quieter than today. We had a sandstorm all day. Phooey! LOL!

You have a great weekend too!

[radu]

Doesn’t hurt to go a little mellow once in a while. LOL

Both Al and Peter are excellent in concert. Saw Al 3 times and Peter twice.

[radu]

Glad to hear you had a good week, well except for the car issues. Hope it’s nothing more than the fuel pump. AND that it isn’t the beginning of a string of issues.

Not much going on here. It was a nice enough week but that changed today with the cold front that just came through. The only plans for the weekend are staying inside with the kittehs where it’s warm. :-)

[radu]

It’s all Greek to me. LOL

You’re probably right about the 2nd version not being a translation. Then again, the Greeks can be kinda silly at times. I worked for several over the years.
