ΓιάννηςΧαρούλης -Ταξιδευτής

(Giannis Haroulis - Traveler)

https://youtu.be/9hKItbrR_qM

Μόλις ψάχνει κάθε εικόνα,
κάθε ιδέα, τα παρατά,
γιατί πάει όπου μιαν έγνοια
ωκεάνια τον τραβά
να βυθίσει μια για πάντα
τ’ αβυσσόθρεφτα φτερά.

I don't have many "complete collections" but I've got all ten of #CharlieDore's magnificent albums, spanning 1979 until now. "Like Animals" is the latest and "Blowing Leaves" is the single, quietly majestic and just in time for the season. Recommend listening with the headphones on 🎵 🎶 🍂 👍 😁 cc: @folkradiouk #Music #FolkMusic #AcousticMusic https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/08/video-premiere-charlie-dore-blowing-leaves/

Meanwhile, some vintage Woody Guthrie. Two Sides, really....
Some fine New Year's Resolutions for and by Woody Guthrie.

As described by banjo/guitar performer/teacher Joe Newberry. ("Context & Perspective")

Woody Guthrie's New Year's Resolutions, January 1, 1943.
I especially like 18, 19, 20, 25, and 31.

And a less rousing song about less uplifting thoughts the next year:

Cocaine Blues (1944)

Note: Woody Guthrie was a singer-songwriter known for politics (pro-socialism, anti-fascism) and music;
He wrote "This Land is Your Land" as an alternative to "God Bless America".

Four years after Nuova Napoli, Nu Genea are back with Bar Mediterraneo, a new album and journey, which projects the sounds of the Neapolitan duo formed by Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina even further. Nu Genea's Bar Mediterraneo is an idea of a shared place where people meet and fuse together; a space that leaves it's doors open to travellers and their lives, always exposed to the whims of fate. Some of this can be experienced through the multitude of sounds that come together in the tracks, layers of different acoustic instruments, voices and synthesizers merging in a unique musical blend. Opening up to the voices of many different people, separated by languages but united by the sea and the music, Nu Genea's hometown, Napoli, becomes a true place of encounter.
