This is excellent. Shame no tabs though.

We keep posting all over your wall. Please forgive us, it's just we really like your guitar playing and wanted you to catch a flavor or Nick's improvisations back from the 1960s. I hope you enjoy the video clip.

@leadakis123 Please feel free to keep posting these!! Nick's playing is truly inspirational; what a master, I am just in awe of it right now.

[leadakis123]

You know your rendition of that song is truly AWESOME!!!! I want you to hear something else played by a 3 chord bouzouki.

[NicosPourpourakis]

I I see it now. I thought you might have wanted to see looked like 30 years later. I am playing the bouzouki.

[NicosPourpourakis]

I attached a video of Boubouka and me at my daughter's Christening party but I can't see if it is here on your wall. This was taken about 23 years ago.

[morphballio]

@NicosPourpourakis WOW, thanks for posting this! I even love the music, and her dancing is of course pure class!!

[leadakis123]

Oh well, the video I wanted to share was Boubouka dancing with my hubby playing bouzouki but it is in another section. Your music almost sounds like MISIRLOU. It is absolutely beautifully played. Thank you!!!

[leadakis123]

@leadakis123 I was able to post our clip from my hubby's You Tube channel. Yes, perhaps I should give her a call and conduct an "interview." Or at least get the basics about her. I know she's from the island of Corfu, that she was also a ballet dancer, learned Orientale dance in Lebanon and I have a video of her doing a Russian dance at a New Years party. Every darn clip is on VHS. It will take a little time to digitize but I'll have more later on. Thank you !!

[leadakis123]

Boubouka lives out here by us in the San Fernando Valley. We've been friends for over 30 years. She's terrific. The music you play is awesome!!!! I would love to share a video with you!

[morphballio]

@leadakis123 Wow, thanks! I'm glad to hear she is alive and well, there is such little information about her out there; what an amazing dancer.
