You are right about the dance.

The photo's of us all together were taken from the back. Lousy photographer there. But I didn't know Anna yet, I would surely have adviced her to do the job.

Micki, if you dance in Greece and I'll get the ticket for free, no problem to do the photos!!!!

And the best would be if it's occasionally at a Dalaras' concert!!

[Micki 1]

It's a deal, Anna. I will still have to figure out a free ticket for you and a Dalaras concert would be perfect of course.

I'm reviving this topic because I would like someone to tell me about Το όγδοο θαύμα, (to ogdoo thauma, from Apona Matia) which I've privately re-named "the Fred Astaire song" - it sounds greatly like tap-dancing to me (please excuse me if this is sacrilege).

Any comments? Christo, please?

p.s.

I like the song very much, btw.

Darling as I'm getting ready to leave from my work area,

I need to hear the song again over the weekend

and I'll get back to you on that

Believe it or not, I don't recognize it off hand so I'll pay closer attention once I do

and girl

hint, hint you still havent emailed me back yet,

have you forgotten me already?

Sounds a bit like coconut shells to me, but I think I'd better leave it to the experts

coconut shell tapdance

it sounds very cheerful, I like the song

[Geske 37]

can't help it, any mention of coconuts means Monty Python to me (the Holy Grail, remember?).

But I still want to know if it really is a Fred Astaire rythm

coconuts

Geeske, do you mean European or African cooconuts ?

[Christo 9]

well Geske Moy

I haven't forgotten you

and as I had a chance to play that cd today

I can inform you now as to what it is.

The song you asked about 'Το όγδοο θαύμα'

from the CD "Apona Matia

is a fast 2/4 rhythm and is categorized as

a Xasaposerviko.

However, the way the tempo and beat is played from the percussion

tracks, the drummer gives it a jazz flair to it.

So in reality the rhythms of the Jazz tempo

is very similar to that of the Hasapiko Dance

except that the rhthyms of jazz are more of an upbeat tempo.

as opposed to the straight 2/4 count of the Hasapiko & Hasaposerviko dance.

Now can I be so kind and ask as to when my friends here will accommodate their request for me that they have posted from long ago and kept me hanging in a long overdue period of time?????
