So be it. Now for the business. Dora's name was butchered last week. Dora, not "Doval." Francesca is the mystery name of fhaliburton@xxx. I think I spelled something wrong somewhere else too. Nice turnout at Butter. Nice turnout at The El Bobo. You represented your social club well.
TONIGHT'S CONTEST: Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.
TONIGHT'S DRAMATIC REENACTMENT: The Origin of Greek Rembetika Music. In the early 1920's the Greek Army was in retreat from Turkish forces led by Kemal Attaturk (Formerly known as Mustafa Kemal (remember the nursery rhyme?). Greece had invaded Turkey (at the instigation of England, France, Italy and Russia) to claim the coast of Asia Minor where millions of ethnic Greeks had lived for generation upon generation. When the support countries pulled out, the Turks turned the tables. The Greeks retreated home and brought back with them the surviving Greek population of Asia Minor. These people had once been prominent citizens but were now reduced to refugees. This is the origin of Rembetika. The lyrics reflected their surroundings, poverty, pain, drug addiction, police oppression, prison, unrequited love, betrayal and hashish. It was the Greek urban blues. The players: A one-woman show! Sue Erokan plays the Greek Army, Kemal Attaturk, the Turkish Army, England, France, Italy and Russia, Asia Minor, Asia Minor's Ethnic Greeks, poverty, pain, drug addiction, police oppression, prison, unrequited love, betrayal, hashish and, most importantly, Rembetika!
TONIGHT'S SINGLED OUT LIST MEMBER(S): Tellegen(s) Karen and Mark. They had a wee baby girl. Congrats from TNSC!
