If you asked people to name a famous Ivan, most would say "Ivan the Terrible." I decided it was time to change that situation, so that's why it's called Ivan the Likeable. Let's see if Joe's around. |

Leeneia and Leeneia2 are the same person.) I should have mentioned that I abjure, renounce and abrogate all claim to copyright for the above tune. If you want to play it, copy it and distribute it to your friends, go ahead. It just bubbled up out of my subconscious one day, and it took 20 minutes to compose. I am not interested in copyrighting the results of 20 minutes of fun. |

I'm no good with lyrics, so I have a suggestion. 1. turn the volume of your computer down to nothing 2. play the following YouTube video of beautiful mountains: Tatras 3. Play 'Ivan the Likeable' on your favorite instrument while looking at the mountains. That should give you a sense of the east-european dance spirit I was feeling when it came to me. |
