For the last week of Jun. 2019 - we chose a beautiful, poignant Tango uploaded by Dr. 240252 on Jun. 15 - 2019 titled "Adieu, My Lover - Adieu, Kochanko Ma". With the music composed by Fred Melodysta - a prominent Polish composer of Tangos and other famous pieces in Warsaw - circa 1930 - 1939 - and the lyrics written by Andrzej Wlast - a famous lyricist - this Tango has to sound very good. In addition - Dr.240252 - the YouTube producer of this short presentation - superimposed the translated by him into English - lyrics - onto his evocative visuals - reflecting the mood of Warsaw from 1930's.
Andrzej Wlast - a producer of many successful Warsaw musical stage shows from 1930 till 1939 - was also a renown lyricist of many popular songs - especially of many famous Tangos of the day. His enormous popularity "earned" him tons of talentless detractors who called him a "King of Kitsch" - however - his works speak for themselves - resonating with millions of his fans until today.
Unfortunately - Andrzej Wlast met a tragic end when the German Fascists/Socialists entered Warsaw in 1939. According to some of his biographers - he became severely depressed and "offered" himself into the hands of Warsaw Gestapo who mercilessly murdered - mostly Jews - but also other opponents of the Nazis (National Socialist Party of Germany) - as well.
People need to learn their lesson and not to vote the Socialists into power - the same ones who - today - in the U.S. - under the name of the Progressives - are trying to - currently - grab the political power in this country. They attempt it every several years but - recently - a prominent U.S. political commentator stated that they have a proverbial "snowball's chance in hell" of doing that but everybody needs to vote - to vote them out. They will be coming back - no doubt - like a proverbial - wart - which needs to be gone.
In any event - all of us shall have a very good, last week of June 2019 who has been rainy but cool in our hilly Pittsburgh. Let's keep the cool summer going - since the summer heat waves can get on any body's nerves - big time. We meet again a week from today - same time - same channel - same place.
