from Oannes *

Δυόμισι λεπτά τελειότητας, και μια ευχή στην εκκεντρική ιδιοφυία που γιορτάζει σήμερα : Ο κιμπορντίστας – συνθέτης Ron Mael, ο άνθρωπος πίσω από τα τραγούδια των Sparks, γεννήθηκε στις 12 Αυγούστου 1945 στο Κάλβερ Σίτι της Καλιφόρνια.

✻

Two-and-a-half minutes of perfection, and a wish for the eccentric genius who has his birthday : The keyboard player – composer Ron Mael, the man behind the Sparks song catalog, was born on the 12th of August, 1945 in Culver City, California.

❝ When she’s on her best behavior
Don’t be tempted by her favor
Never turn your back on mother Earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that look so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother Earth
Grasp at straws that don’t want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother Earth
Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends
Never turn your back on mother Earth
I’ll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I’ll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother Earth ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
