Nei a dal cana, "Na ellen nei bos movys!"



We can't go out. What can we do in the house? There is nothing on the TV but bad news. We found some old music - tapes for the tape-recorder (several boxes). Most of them are from the sixties - a time when I was young. In the seventies I had children but my tastes didn't alter. I liked (and I still like) nice voices and songs with good clear words. (I can't hear the words in songs nowadays - and I'm not hard of hearing.) And I liked proper tunes. I have tapes of folk music and jazz, vocal and instrumental. I haven't bought tapes for a long time. There are other ways to listen to music nowadays. The Seekers sang, "We shall not be moved!" We should sing, "We cannot be moved!"
