NEWS OF DICK ELLSWORTH, guys!
Not recent, but I'm on his trail.
http://www.cohp.org/natl_parks/Kobuk_Valley_1.pdf
//Angayukaqsraq, Kobuk Valley national Park:
Remote Exploration Still Exists//
The Peak
First, let’s figure out how to pronounce this awkward
name. The easy way is to just say “Anga,” but being
explorers, we like to understand the root reason for a
name.
I turned to Dick Ellsworth, librarian and teacher in
Kotzebue.
After consulting the Native experts in town
(Willie Goodwin, Ray Ferguson, Nanyaq, etc.), he
concluded we should say “anga-you-cuk-suk,” which
means “a younger old man” – not an elder, but old
enough to care for the family. The rangers at the
National Park Service office in Kotzebue were
appreciative of this research, and for the details of our
expedition to the rarely visited mountains in the park.

These dudes rousted me outa my spot, said they were looking for some lone wolf R2DTHROWPIE-OMouse. Me being alone, I guess I can't blame 'em, but can I forgive them?
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise
Just remind me to show you the scars

That is Taraf de Haidouks. Latcho Drom is from the same director as the film above (Tony Gatliff). It is a trilogy. The third is set in Spain and titled "Vengo". Gatliff also did a film about I Muvrini called "Terra"
In this film the character Stephen keeps playing a tape of the singer from the group Ando Drom--Mitsou
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6CU_leW6GE
in this case she is singing with one of my favorite French groups, Bratsch.
this is a Goran Bregovich song that is featured in another great rom film called Time of the Gypsies

Yeah, well I was busy finding something to sh#t on. But I'm happy to see all this fun music!
Andy, you'll be getting a Christmas Card for the 500th post. It's not from the North Pole, though it has something to do with Alaska.--Mr. Mouse Claus
I must say, Andy, that, since I relate to string-pulling in my own special way, I enjoyed the rom musicians to the max. They make those Shaym guys look tame in comparison.
Gypsy, thank you and everybody for the free concert c#m credit/no credit course in international music!
The Free University lives!

Ariel, my son, was walking on our dark mountain road tonight and was apparently hit by a car. I am told he is okay but I am on my way to the hospital to see for myself. I am pretty sure he has a broken leg.

I was going through my dad's "war box" this morning, full of his mementos from flying in Europe. Among the lists of equipment issued, the addresses, the travel ordes, the photos of mussolini and his GF hanging, there is a map of Paris and it is printed on the reverse of part of a German map of the Cap de Trois Fourches in Spanish Morocco. Guess where we're heading?

Conceivably, one might travel around the circumference of Africa seeking to record the local music. It must have been done already or I wouln't have thought of it.
