Ain't Got No (I Got Life)

Eleni, wishing you Vageli, Ari and Anna-Maria a happy and healthy new year. I'm setting up a karaoke night with some friends and will post some pics. I usually pick songs from the Carpenters and Let the Sun Shine In from the musical Hair.

I will never forget the all-nighter at the 'plateia' in 'Agia Paraskevi' ...

Hope Ari is getting better. Love ya lots!

When the shit hits the fan and I'm feeling down, nothing like a little Nina Simone to put it all back into perspective for me.

Ain't Got No (I Got Life)

I got life, I got my freedom, I got life!
