from Oannes *

O Αύγουστος είναι ένας μήνας πληθωρικός σε ημερομηνίες γέννησης σημαντικών μουσικών. Ανάμεσά τους – για συναισθηματικούς λόγους – διαλέγω τον Ian Anderson.
Θα ακούσουμε αρκετά κομμάτια των Jethro Tull τις επόμενες μέρες, παράλληλα με ένα αφιέρωμα στον πρόσφατα εκλιπόντα Tony Bennett.

August is a month abundant in significant musicians birth dates. Among them – for emotional reasons – I pick Ian Anderson.
We’ll be listening to several Jethro Tull tracks in the coming days – alongside a tribute to the recently deceased Tony Bennett.

❝ Happy and I’m smiling
Walk a mile to drink your water
You know I’d love to love you
And above you there’s no other
We’ll go walking out
While others shout of war’s disaster
Oh, we won’t give in
Let’s go living in the past
Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend
Now there’s revolution, but they don’t know
What they’re fighting
Let us close our eyes
Outside their lives go on much faster
Oh, we won’t give in
We’ll keep living in the past
Oh, we won’t give in
Let’s go living in the past
Oh no, no we won’t give in
Let’s go living in the past ❞

Enjoy!

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!
