Crow Jane

Crow Jane, Crow Jane, Crow Jane, don't you hold you head high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and... 

You got to die, you got to... 

And I wanna buy me a pistol, wants me forty rounds of ball 

Shoot Crow Jane, just to see her fall 

She got to fall, she got to... 

She got to fall, 

she got to... 

That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head so high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and... 

And I dug her grave with s silver spade 

Ain't nobody gonna take my Crow Jane place 

You can't take her place no, you can't take her...

That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and... 

You know, I let her down with a golden chain 

And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name

 Crow Jane, 

Crow... Crow Jane, 

Crow... 

You know I never missed my water till my well went dry 

Didn't miss Crow Jane until the day she died 

Till the day she... 

That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and...you got to die, you got to... 

You know, I dug her grave eight feet in the ground I didn't feel sorry until they let her down 

They had to let her down, let her...they had to let her down... 

That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and...

This post is like the second part of Swing Shoes' Live post

 

 

 

During the European Music Day in Megaro's Open Air stage there was a concert of  the Swing Shoes

The music and the weather were great

Until next year...

 

The Swing Shoes

 

 

The Swing Shoes / European Music.... Night

 

The Swing Shoes were formed in Athens in 2006. Initially a street guitar duo, they gradually evolved into a four-piece with the standard gypsy swing instrumentation: two guitars, bass and violin.

At first their music appears to follow the rules of the swing folk idiom. It is rhythmic, it is vibrant; it is feel-good music. But the way they cover traditional Greek tunes, jazz standards, and several atypical numbers is so unpredictable that the listener finds himself puzzled, wondering “where does this familiar tune come from?”

 

 

Adonis (g), George (g),

 

Panos (b), and Andreas (vl),

combine their influences to create music with a passion. Their first album “Ladies and Gents, HERE’S THE SWING SHOES” - released in 2010 on Prominence Records - has received rave reviews.

 

 

The Swing Shoes appear regularly in many clubs in Athens and play festivals all over Greece. They perform as an instrumental quartet and also as a six-piece with female vocalist Eirini Dimopoulou and drummer Nick Zografos or female vocalist Sughaspank! and percussionist Oxocube. Occasionally the set-up includes full personnel (8 people).   My___link

21st of June – European Music Day - Summer Solstice and Music is celebrating.

 

"Year by year European Music Day is establishing more and more events all over Greece. The idea is catching on!

 

We hope that one day on the 21st of June, we will hear music everywhere, on every corner, every square, every street, every concert location and every park. All kinds of artists and all kinds of music along with crowds will dance in the streets and displace the cars.

 

Schools, conservatories and every organisation that is familiar with the magic of a “musical-score” will organise their own concerts.

In France the state has passed an act that allows (music) noise disturbance on the specific day, why not in Greece as well? Upcoming Greek and foreign bands will play in public spaces throughout Greece and artist exchanges from city to city and country to country will multiply and we will all discover a previously unknown group.

 

European Music Day is working for a dream come true sooner or later. This is why it organizes with the support of public, state, private sponsors and institutions, as many as possible music performances all over Greece. The events are always free and artists perform free of charge or with minimum compensation. Because when music celebrates we‘re all invited…!" More about E.M.D. here
