For this memorable first week of April 2020 we choose a charming, old Tango uploaded by Dr. 240252 on Mon. March 30 - 2020. Its titled "Tango Adios Muchachas - Chor Dana" which translates from Polish to "Tango Adios Muchachas - by Dan's Choir". A male vocal choir - "Dan's Choir" was tremendously popular in Poland in the early 1930's. They did a lot of nice Tangos and other pieces popular at that time in Warsaw and the rest of Europe. This particular recording which Dr. 240252 posted on YouTube on March 30 - 2020 displays some noises since its a vintage work. That low static does not distract from the mood of this Tango. It needs to be noted that Dr. 240252 - normally - presents an excellent sound on his YouTube uploads.
"Adios Muchachos" a popular Tango composed in the middle 1920's by an enormously famous Argentinian Tango composer - Francisco Canaro was made famous by the Tango star of the day - Carlos Gardel for whom it was - actually - composed and who performed it a lot. Carlos Gardel of Argentina as well other famous vocalists made that Tango - widely loved and frequently performed.
Not to get side tracked - but Carlos Gardel was tragically killed in a plane crash at the height of his fame in the late 1920's when he was only 30 years old. Francisco Canaro - on the other hand - lived to be a very old man, composed many super good Tangos and other tunes and had a well deserved reputation of being a big "womanizer" who frequently seduced many female singers whom he made famous.
Enjoy the video - everybody - and have a good week! Happy Good Friday to all the Christians who read our column and Happy Passover to our Jewish friends! Let's all pray and think positive thoughts since the next few weeks will be hard in terms of the coming peak in casualties of Coronavirus - that accursed, 21st Century plague. We shall overcome this curse very soon and be better for it! Let's all keep positive thoughts, pray and do all they tell you to avoid the infection. We shall meet again - like every week - a week from today - same channel - same time!

For this last week of March 2020 for our Commentary of the Week - we pick a video of a lovely, old Polish Tango - a super "hit" with an amazing staying power - posted on YouTube website "Olga Mieleszczuk" on March 22 - 2020. This old Tango classic is performed even now by fine vocalists in various Polish venues - especially the night clubs/cabarets; it's titled in Polish and Yiddish - "Ostatnia Niedziela / Letstikn Shabbas". Olga sings this Tango in those two languages - she also sings in Hebrew - the title of this Tango loosely translates from Polish and Yiddish as "The Last Sunday". Olga Mieleszczuk - a Polish/Israeli international vocalist - is a pretty, blond haired lady in her mid-thirties - whose alto voice lends itself well towards many good uploads of Tangos on her YouTube website. Her band of three musicians called "Tango Attack" - sounds super good.
The moving - sad but realistic lyrics of this video tells the story of a rejected lover - were penned by Zenon Friedwald - a Polish Jew - many of whom were famous in rich Warsaw Tango scene circa 1939 which flourished; the Nazi/Socialists' led - Second World War - decimated Warsaw (Paris of Eastern Europe) which has - subsequently - rebuilt herself and rose like a Phoenix from the ashes.
It needs to be noted that the Polish composer of this Tango - Jerzy Petersburski came from a family of several prominent musicians and he was an author of another internationally celebrated song - "A Blue Scarf" - still performed by many accomplished vocalists.
At any rate - enjoy the video - everybody and have a good last week of March 2020. Coronavirus is on the way out - but don't let your guard down and - please - do what the experts and Pres. Trump - tell you to do. We shall meet here a week from today - same channel - same place!

For this last week of March 2020 - we choose to comment on the short (3 minute long) YouTube video posted by a political website "Let's Be Frank" on 03-16-2020. It's titled "Doctor Embarrasses CNN on Air" and it comments on the stupid questions asked by an evidently - stupid acting lady - CNN reporter - not that any other CNN people are any smarter - as she questions - in an idiotic manner - Dr. Anthony Fauci - currently - the main medical advisor of Pres. Trump re: the current, horrible Coronavirus crisis - gripping the world.
The host and the only commentator of this YouTube website - Frank - an early middle aged Latin guy - does a good job of commenting on the present political events. The viewers comments under this video - run "blistering" towards the CNN and that incompetent woman reporter.
The awful Coronavirus crisis currently - gripps the world like the claws of the diabolical vulture - thus Frank - the YouTube host of "Let's Be Frank" website - urges everybody to pray with him every morning at 8:30 Am. We think that its a great idea to pray a lot but we also think that all of us need to do all we can - as well - to fight this evil - off - so we shall get through the hard times - as soon as possible.
Everybody will have a super good, healthy week and we shall meet here - a week from today - same channel - same time!

For this third week of March 2020 - we choose to comment on the six minutes long YouTube video posted by Fox News Channel on March 09 - 2020 - titled "'The Five' React to Hillary Clinton's Attacks on Both - Sanders and Biden." The evening commentary on the daily news presented by Fox News Channel every night by the five Fox News channel commentators - attracts a lot of YouTube viewers who comment generously not only on the Fox News presenters - but also on the news pieces happening daily - as well.
Juan Williams - a black Liberal commentator - usually receives tons of extremely critical viewers' - comments - due to him demonstrating his clear Liberal bias. A good news analyst will talk about the events and not about their respective "preferences" for the things to happen - their way.
Hillary Clinton has been interviewed by Fareed Zakaria in this news clip while the Fox Channel commentators point to her own vast political "baggage" as she has the "nerve" to criticize the two top Democratic candidates.
In any event - everybody will have a super good new week - so enjoy the video and we shall meet again - a week from today - same channel - same time!

For this second week of March 2020 - we chose to comment on the video presented on 03-02-2020 by the smart political website "Red Eagle Politics" hosted by an unnamed - so far - average looking youngster in his early twenties who comments on the current political trends. This video is fifteen minutes long but it zooms by fast. It's titled - "Super Tuesday Primary Prediction". It quickly generated fifteen thousand views with the viewers' comments - interesting and informative.
The host has an uncanny gift of gab concerning national politics notwithstanding his young age. Joe Biden - an ex-vice-president - who is currently, visibly mentally slow - suddenly became a big hero of the Democratic party - after his decisive win in S. Carolina's - Feb. 28-2020 - primaries which gave him a big push. The avalanche of quick, massive endorsements points to the Democratic party suddenly scared to death of Bernie Sanders - an old Marxist whom they started to view as a closet political despot - intending to forcefully - redistribute - the wealth of every kind - personal and national.
In any event - enjoy the video - everybody and have a good week. The spring 2020 is almost here. We shall meet again - a week from today - same channel - same time.
