Our Choice of the Youtube Video of the Week for the last week of June 2016!

     For the fourth - the last week June 2016 - we selected a Tango uploaded by Dr.240252 on June 18-2016 - titled "Pyotr Leschenko Tango - Ne Uhodi - Do Not Leave Me - 1930".
     Pyotr Leschenko - an enormously talented Ukrainian/Romanian - singer and composer became internationally famous between 1929 and 1940. Unfortunately - he met an early death in Romanian labor camp fashioned after the labor camps established by the Soviet dictator - Stalin - in many Eastern Europen countries at that time.
      Lots of talented people perished in those terrible prisons where the local "government types" ran the horrible estalishments. Nadeshda Mandelshtam - a poetess and a writer - the wife of a famous Russian poet - Osip Mandelshtam who died an early death in Stalin's labor camp where he was sentenced after publishing an unflattering poem about Stalin - expressed her accurate observations about those times in her famous "Memoirs". She said that some people were forced to follow Stalin regime but their hearts "wept inside them" however others - were more than happy to follow Stalin's reign of terror. 
     At any rate - enjoy the Tango and please - read the comments by Dr.240252 as well as those made by the viewers. Yours truly also commented - my Youtube name is tango3721 - not boasting or anything - mind you.
    Have a good last week of June 2016 - everybody and as always - don't forget to click here next weekend which will be the first week of July 2016!

Our Choice for Youtube Video of the Wk - for the third Wk of June 2016 - Dr. 240252 - Roaring 20's - Joe Candell's - Blowing off Steam - 1926!

     For the third week of June 2016 - we picked a vid uploaded by Dr.240252 on June 11 - 2016 - titled "Blowing Off Steam - by Joe Candell - 1926".
    The slides show of various kinds of passengers' trains which conjure up lots of memories of travelling by trains that I did while growing up in Eastern Europe. I have always been in love with passengers' trains ever since I can remember.
    We - currently - especially like the small sleeper compartments which could be used as a tiny office during the day when one can work on the computer or listen to the radio. I like to watch the glorious sunsets from the top of the train but easy sleeping on the train is also fun since the rhythmical movement is similar to the soothing moves in the womb - I guess. 
    Travel by train has always reminded me of the "living a mini life" metaphor since the people who get on one's nerves will disappear and the end of the voyage while the contacts with the nice ones will also not last for any extended time.
    At any rate - read some comments from the viewers including yours truly - tango3721; the comments of Dr.240252 who produces those videos are always informative and fun.
    Have a great third week of June 2016 - everybody we shall meet here a week from today - as every week!

Our Choice for Youtube Video of the Wk - First Week of June 2016 - 05-30-15 through 06-05-2016!

     We decided not to review this season's "So You Think You Can Dance" since the producers made it into a "kiddie show" this season - which should be aired during the mornings along with "Seasame Street" - according to a lot of views of that nature voiced on various public forums of social media.
     Consequently - we will be doing - for a while our popular feature "YouTube Video of the Week" - which will be posted either Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. That will continue until Season 23 of "Dancing with the Stars" - starts in Sept. 2016 - or until we will come up with another idea for a hot column.
     For the first week of June 2016, we picked a video uploaded by 240252 - Dr. Grzegorz Musial - a Polish doctor - who uploads awesome videos -thus - on May 30 - 2016 he came up with a gem - titled "Three Tangos from 1938" - featuring a Hungarian/Gypsy arranger/band leader - George Boulanger. 

     Dr. 240252 does magnificent research on each video he uploads which he condenses to give you a brief info - attached to his videos. His visuals are - breathtaking - to match the music he features. Dr. 240252 - often - likes to highlight the works of some forgotten but enormously talented - musicians and other performers of that sort.
     Dr. 240252 had some heart problems recently so all of us pray for his health. Please - read the info about George Boulanger - a talented Gypsy/Hungarian violinist/arranger/band leader who escaped Nazi persecution to find a success in the U.S.
    Have a great first week of June 2016 everybody and keep clicking here next weekend!
