NOTE: Hello Everybody! I’m greeting all of you after my My Great Greek Holidays (fortunately, uncompleted with My Great Greek Weedding, though… ) .  I missed all of you and our little music sessions we’ve been having now for quite a few years…  I’m preparing a next movie which will refer to the Corfu Island, where I spent most of my time in Greece, although I also had a chance to make one day trip to Albania - still one of the most mysterious countries in Europe. I am absolutely enchanted by that part of the world and I already think, how and when to organize my next trip there. 

Alas, the news I found back home are alarming. The situation in Ukraine makes all of us extremely anxious, for there seems to be no available medicine to stop the growing craziness of the rulers of this world.  My father, who was a psychologist and who in his life experienced two great wars in Europe and half of a century of communism in Poland,  used to say, that “a normal person does not have lust for power - only a shaky or distorted personality does”. Power – next to sex and money -  is one of three biggest drugs on this world: and if you do not make any attempt to strictly control them, they begin to take bigger and bigger control on you, until you go mad. I think, the signs of it  are clearly visible now almost everywhere, and especially in Ukraine  - as I mentioned above – but also in Iraq, where the bloody rules of the new-born  monster of the ISIS and their massacres of the Christians exceed all the feats of Al Qaeda and other lunatics. Also the growing fury in the Israeli-Ghaza region proves, for the peacefully reasoning man, insolvable and leading to another great massacre. 

Sorry, for the prolonged digression... 

This song was one of the big dance hits in Poland in the year 1933 - after the success of the romance movie “Ostatnia eskapada” (The Last Escapade) with two fine actors, Karolina Lubieńska and Józef Węgrzyn featured in main roles. In the communist Poland, after 1945 the film was stricly forbidden by the state censors, for its story was the love affair between a girl and a Polish soldier who fights in the Polish-Bolshevic war of the year 1920. The war, which lasted from  the middle of 1919 until August 1920, was provoked by the Bolshevics, who after the October Revolution’s blood bath in their own country, started their mad progress towards Western Europe in attempt to widespread the infection of communism across the whole of Europe and possibly, the world. Their march westwards was however stopped  by the walls of Warsaw, when  on the 15th of Aug, 1920 the soviet Red Army - counting million soldiers - was beaten by the spontaneously created  army of the Polish  volunteers. Until now, that day has been called by historians and in the popular speech, the day of  Miracle on the Vistula River. 

Today, we’re having the 94th Anniversary of it. 

God, bless Poland! God, bless Europe and have Mercy on this mad, mad world…
