"Dead Can Dance" singer Brendan Perry seduced by "rembetiko" (Greek urban underworld folk music, the root and spring of today's Greek mainstream music, the equivalent of Mississippi Delta blues):jawdrop::jawdrop:


 
I heard a monk from Mount Athos a few times.
He recently passed away but knew several close friends of mine. He was at Docheiariou Monsatery.

Have you ever been there?
I 've only been there as a soldier, 25 years ago, for forrest-preservation, anti-fire (and harsh rural acclimatision) purposes.
My first and last (for the time being) Confession lasted about an hour, 'cause it turned out to be a profound philosophical discussion. At Simon's Rock (Simonopetra) Monastery.
The rest of the guys in my platoon were furious: "How many sins did you have asshole, to keep us waiting here for an hour":)
 
I have not been able to make it out there. It would be incredible to make the trip.
I have two friends that went there to visit many years ago, I think in the late 1990s.

(actually He is supposed to be the only "Being" in Orthodox faith, the rest of us being "creatures").

"'cause His mercy is eternal".

Hopefully, priests do NOT authentically convey Jesus's message, or I 'll be facing some hard time in Hell. :)
The music and poetry are just majestic, though. Learn Greek.

Got a few odd looks on my commute back........61yr old bobble head driving his daughter’s car.
