Carioca (Youmans) from „Flying Down to Rio” – Ed Lloyd & His Band with Vocal Chorus, Rex 1933 (UK)

NOTE: This happy tune from the year 1933 is my farewell to just passing year 2014 and a welcoming fanfare to the dawn of 2015.  Yet, the joyous and hopeful feelings of that annual changing on the guards is today overshadowed by so many unhappy or even tragic events which occurred throughout the world in recent weeks or months. Looking at the international situation, the lack of evidence to improve this situation seems to be obvious. Rather - it seems more likely to change for the worse. The unbelievable series of aircraft catastrophies on the Malaysian airlines,  each of them ended with hundreds of deaths, the continuing massacre of thousands of Christians, executed in the most cruel ways by the ISIS butchers in Syria and Iraq  – the massacres, let’s emphasise, almost habitually overlooked by journalists from the mainstream media – the Ukrainian bloodbaths in Donbas region plus the significant increase of the heavy  natural disasters’ incidence as well as increasing seismic and volcano activity of the Earth –… uphhh ... this enumeration alone would be a sufficient pretext to earlier opening of the bottle of vodka tonight, if I was at all an alcohol drinker…  

In spite of that, I’m addressing to you, all my dear friends – those, who have been meeting each other in this channel for so many years now - but also those, who just recently joined us – my best wish for at least one more peaceful year, when we will be able to continue our talks, and our recontres by the warm fireplace of our good memories and good feelings, with all our friendship in our hearts and with that magnificent music of the past in the background. 

                                        HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!!!
