Hello Tseligas - I have included a song "O Yero Tselingas"in my previous post.
It is one of my favourites. Are you familiar with this Tsamiko? Do you play it?
Would you like the notes for it?
I really like listening to old recordings of demotika played by the masters. Pre 1960's there
were a handfull of "greats" that toured all over Greece and became quite famous,
The old recordings reveal the true sound of the song without the benefit of modern electronics. This is
not to say a particular version is "better."
Compare Aristopoulos playing "Palia Itia" in the tradition of Karakostas' version with the original
1931 simple studio recording played by Karakostas himself.
Clear and Crisp!
