For the third week of Aug. 2017 - we chose a lovely, melodic old Tango composed by Jakub Kagan - a famous Polish Tango composer who also came up with a famous but morbid, sad and depressing piece called "Golden Panther" which we featured a few months ago in this column.
Our choice for this week was uploaded on Aug. 03 - 2017 by Dr. 240252 - our erudite YT friend who has uploaded tons of glorious Tangos and other videos for his numerous YT followers - over the last ten years - of his activity on YT platform.
Henryk Gold's Orchestra - famous in Warsaw and the rest of Europe in the pre-Second World War years - 1928 till 1939 - arranged and composed a lot of fabulous musical and vocal pieces of Tangos and other works. Unfortunately - Henryk Gold was only one of the few who survived the Nazi terror. Gold dies at the ripe old age in the U.S. after a successful string of many long "gigs" - here. A lot of other talented foreign artists could not "translate" their successful formulas to appeal to the American audiences.
Chicago had a relatively smooth week with only a "few" homicides which needless to say - were a "few" too many - if you compare this city to New York City which has twice the population of Chicago and half of our - homicide rate.
The fall will be here soon - hurray! Have a super good week - everybody! Also - please - don't forget to click here next week to check out our choice of the YT Vid of the Week for next week!
