Friday night and its time to kick back and watch a little televisor. I saw a wonderful slice of television shows tonight. Some were in Russian and some in Romanian. There were historical documentaries about wolrd war II. Lots of footage on Adolph Hitler. I suspect its the other half of the archive we don't see on Public TV back in the States. The most entertaining item for me was a folk music performance of Moldavian muzica. The Moldovan folk orchestra was amazing. Persons playing the hammer dulcimer, an accordian, a guitar, three clarinets, a silver trumpet, a bass fiddle, someone playing pan pipes like the Andean Indians, and eight violins. 123, 123, 123 a peppy beat. And the singers, male and female soloists performed as their admirers came up to stage mid performance and presented bouquets of beautiful flowers to them and kissed them on the cheek mid performance. The singer recieved them with what ackowledgement they could give without loosing a note or a word and placing them on a special awards table behind them. Viata este buna in Moldova!
