Many, many thanks for the help with "Suliko" -- such a hauntingly beautiful song. I have two CDs en route. Would you believe that within minutes of posting my request, I was looking for material for a history class I teach, and up on the screen popped a site that somehow fit some of my search words, and they had several versions of the song, including the Soinari. I also ordered a Russian version -- it used to be the Red Army Chorus, I think. It was the Ensemble Kakheti I heard originally. I will try now to find that version, and maybe when I get there this summer I'll be able to sing with my hosts in the Caucusus. My daughter tells me almost everyone plays an instrument and sings in her village.

Again, many thanks; I'm amazed to find people who know this much about Georgian music. I guess I'm just ignorant in this area, but having heard some of it, not for long. Incredible stuff.
