Question regarding Nick Lees

It's a Georgian folk song. The above version is from this album which Nick was referring to. Allegedly. Cough. Available used on Amazon

There is another version by Hamlet Gonashvili (alternate spellng "Cincyaro") which is possibly even more spine-tingling.



P.S. What on earth caused you to dig those old dinosaur bones up :-)

thanks for the links - that is amazing !
I'm on some sort of mad music splurge at the moment and I am in the process of gleaning info. I am trawling through the entire Naim music forum. Very informative. Downright hilarious in places. Shame not all the links work but I'm a sight less ignorant than wot I woz.

Best regards

The Hamlet Gonashvili version is utterly beautiful. Thanks....Gary.

Dave, I had that lined up for our next visit so that's a bust. I'll bring the Jannick Topp to make up for it. :-)

Rocky, you're welcome - the album is very good and has several other songs of that style (as well as a few more robust folk styles) though I find it needs to be played a bit at a time to avoid overload. If you need any further translations of Nick's more gnomic pronouncements I will attempt (at no fee) to interpret into a more modern idiom. As a starter try reading his posts as though written by a slightly demented old hippie.

Gary

I much prefer you; no need to bother that Lees chap.

No, please bring this with you! It'll sound so much better than through my PCs speakers.

...and Mike, I've met them both and have to say Gary has a much better taste in music. He is though a little older than Nick and a trifle deaf..

Someone's older than Nick Lees?!?!!!

and still alive?

Gary
took delivery of a 'Mirangula' by the Rustavi Choir and by gum it is most excellent. I have not yet got into the drinking songs (it's only a matter of time) but the quieter pieces (especially Tsintskaro) are just sublime.

Thanks for the heads up -
