They sell CDs at Corfu airport if you can't find them in the village,but if you really can't wait and you need your Bouzouki fix now,
 Amazon sell Greek CDs.

Lots of Greek msic on Itunes for those who do it the modern way!

Just one question, can anyone tell me, the names of the songs, that the waiters dance to in Zorbas & the Little Prince?

I have all the songs in MP3 format

[Waspman]

I shot that video for Gillie because she thinks Vassilis is one of the most gorgeous creatures on the planet!

Can't remember the name of the song, unfortunately.

It's called To Pailiopaido (The Bad boy) sung by Dimitris Mitropanos, now sadly deceased (2012)

Surprised Jimbo couldn't find that in his Greek dictionary, very unusual!!

Sorry Waspman but I don't think that translation is quite correct,"palio" means old and "paidon" can mean fellow or chap,so if we are looking for a literal translation it would be "The Old Fellow" or "The Old Chap",think I've got that right.

To Pailiopaido is "the bad boy" the one they dance to at Zorbas, and other taverna's

Cheers Waspman. Managed to get it off i-tunes, now it makes coming home a little easier.

My apologies Waspman you're right, written as one word it does mean "the bad boy" although "palio" is the Greek for "old",
 Just another vagary of the Greek language.

Or possible in his notes for his university Greek course. Where he would have found that the the Greek for old is "paleo" not "palio". But "palio" might be a swearing version.

Leave me alone. I'm old and frail.

Hi Steve B

When I asked the guy who runs Zorba's (name escapes me) for the music a couple of years ago he provided a CD with a Zorba's motif on it which had 23 Greek songs on it and included all the ones they dance too plus others. Its excellent and I have a copy in my car for when I feel blue and at home which we listen to often when having a Greek meal.

[Richard/Jackie/Nathan]

We've got a CD which I am sure we bought at Peli & Marias. It has all the favourites on it.

As you know Jimbo there are several different words in Greek for the word "old" all depending on the noun being described e.g.
 the old house,the old man, the old lady,etc. all different, or "the old people's home" which is probably where half of us should be!!

[Jimbo]

"the old people's home" which is probably where half of us should be!!

I could name some candidates!
