Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦Musical Interlude: OK, let's get something energetic to motivate us for the week ahead. Here's a big of...well, one doesn't say the G-word anymore, but I guess it could be termed Romany Rock?
"Woman in Sin," performed by Fishtank Ensemble.

Musical Interlude: Listening to a little Fishtank while I relax...lawdy, I wish I hadn't missed their one DC show....But oh well, their music is still fun.
"Ceklin," performed by Fishtank Ensemble.

Ceklin
Musical Interlude: I've written before of my regret in missing my one chance of seeing Fishtank live, so I won't go into it again...but dang, their sound! Combining Eastern Europe with Japan, it's a strange mix but I love it. I defy anyone to listen to this without at least feeling an urge to clap.
"Hopa di Bada," performed by Fishtank. (I have no idea what it means.)

Hopa di Bida
Musical Interlude: Fishtank Ensemble is one of my great musical whiffs. They had a rare East Coast date long ago in DC, before I moved away, and I had a chance to go...but I was tired, and thought, meh, they'll be around again.
OF COURSE, they never did come again, and now they are no more. I kick myself for not taking the opportunity when I could. They were a great world-music band, with Eastern European stylings mixed with Japanese instruments and theremin. Wild stuff.
"Tchavo," performed by Fishtank Ensemble.
