Written last weekend, I just recorded a rough version of it in both languages, using just my 12-string to imitate bouzouki and baghlama. Called An Emigrant's Rebetiko (or Tis Xenitias for the Greek version), it is my first ever foray into the genre. To listen to it, go to http://www.myspace.com/georgepapavgeris.

And I have to own up - the idea came from a statement that Gabriel Doyle (http://www.myspace.com/gabrieldoyle) made about living "where the Thames flows into the Mediterranean..."; such a strong image, I had to do something with it.

Please let me know what you think - good or bad.

keep singing

George Papavgeris (aka El Greko)
