This is in memory of a charming old man who used to live in my street; he was a French speaker, but was from one of those exotic French islands somewhere like the Indian Ocean, and in his heavily accented English he would always say to me, "Greece, beautiful music ! Beautiful music ! Guns of Navarone, beautiful singing !". He would then hum this tune to me, and always asked me if I could get it for him. Well it was in the days before Internet, so it took me a couple of years, but I eventually found this song on a Greek Folk Songs CD, and it was just wonderful to see the delighted expression on his face when I presented it to him !
