Amazing your musical taste, Bryan, this brought back some good memories of my vain attempt..lol, at Classical guitar. It is a very precise and disciplined style of guitar, as far as both hand and fingering positioning, guitar position, and a foot on a stool. I could play a handful of songs, including these two (entry-level works), not even close to these masters as I just didn't get into practicing that hard, and wasn't committed enough to it :) My instructor ended up in moving to Spain, as one of his students wanted him to move there and continue his guitar studies under Brian's teaching.




My parents were very musical and it rubbed off, they liked all genres and that's pretty much how I like it too, variety, from Ella Fitzgerald to the Mamas and the Papas to Rachmaninoff. Thank you for the kind words Jonny Quest.

Including when you posted "What's New" by Linda Ronstadt and Nelson Riddle, knocked my socks off :) :)

I haven't heard this song in a very long time. Then they played it recently on a local radio station. Let's say I kept humming it for a few days. 🙃

The song itself is about being lazy, enjoying the summer at the sea. Fjaka is Croatian word for a state where you don't feel like doing anything, just being lazy and enjoying it. Dunno really how to describe it. In short; she sings how she got fjaka and there isn't better thing other than the sea.
