George's idea of a Greek-themed collection sounds like a knockout idea.

I haven't heard another song that dealt with the condition of being a permanent emigre from everywhere in the way this one does. As I'm in the same category (albeit without shifting language) it made a lot of sense. BTW, there is a beautiful film around the same idea: Raul Ruiz's "Three Crowns for the Sailor" - the climactic scene is one where the hero manages to get everyone he's ever been close to in any seaport anywhere in the world all together in the same bar. And they have nothing to say to each other - the evening passes in total stony silence.

Neal Ascherson's "Black Sea" has a lot to say about the Pontic Greeks. They got a lot further than I'd realized before reading it, and their emigration is probably still going on - the last big wave was when many of them fled from Abkhazia during its war of independence in the 1990s, having been an established community there for at least a thousand years. With Abkhazia turning into a free-fire zone between Russia and Georgia they don't have much to go back home to.
