I remember being over in the gulf a few years back and we had the American Forces Network broadcasting on a few stations. They'd switch between pop, hip-hop, country, rock, sports, news, etc., every so often. I was working with some British troops one day and they were explaining to me how country music was a new one for them. They thought it was comedy until someone told them that no, we really do have a whole group of people who enjoy it and it is, in fact, real music.

Aw sucks, twernt nuthin.

Really it was a matter of finding a song that;

A) Was the right length

B) Fit the theme I wanted to go with, which is I wanna go back, this is the good stuff.

and,

C) uTube didn't disable for copyright infringement. What freakin copyright? I want some tunes to go with my vacation slide show. I'm not promoting a business, fer cryin out loud.

Country was the genre that I both liked and fit the bill. I like rock too and some blues, but nothing else fit all three criteria.

@ Slim

Oh, how I remember my days with AFaRTS! Very fondly in fact.

It's nice Tim.

For everyone here on VJ, I encourage you to go over to the RMP (RussianMeetingPlace) website and forums and find Tim's most excellent TR (Trip Report).

He details virtually every day there with his new fiancee Mila.

I meant to say Aw SHUCKS not sucks. I really should proof my ramblings better.

Phil thanks for the kind words. It was truly the trip of a lifetime and I came back with the results I was hoping for. We are both waiting anxiously for December 13th when I expect to be back home in her arms again, with all necessary documents for a wedding and permanent stay in hand. The date is still TBA.

When I took a trip to Moscow a few years back I started typing a trip report but I realized it was like trying to explain a rainbow to a blind man. You can't see it unless you can see it.

This is the one movie I can reference to folks to explain what my wife is like. I try to refer them to the tea lady in TransSiberian but nobody's seen that one.

Rosie's still a hottie, even 20 years later. Probably still just as feisty!

[eekee 182]

What movie is that?

[slim 1,525]

White Men Can't Jump. One of the best movies ever made. (Well, not really a great movie, but some very good true to life points in this movie.)

Well I've been back in CT for 5 days now and I've recovered from my DIY "Spacibo" exercise. The jet lag fog is beginning to lift and I started playing with movie maker to put a music montage of the trip together.

Here's what I came up with yesterday before the debacle in Madison, WI.

Enjoy the Show.

Nice slide show. And at this point I can say with some authority that we should have gone to Crimea.

Thanks Brad. Glad you enjoyed it. I made another one later that's a little longer and has some location titles to ID places.

HERE'S the new one.

And you're welcome to come for a visit any time. The Obolone and shashlik will be on hand.

Oh, btw, Today's Country music? Its just Rock with a fiddle in it (Slim ).

Thanks again Tim. Like I said, we should have come to Crimea instead. It was cold in Czech too, and I didn't really enjoy it all that much. One benefit was that almost every one spoke some English, so I had zero trouble figuring out the trolley system or the metro in Prague. As for everything else, well....

[slim 1,525]

I've heard Prague is for single men, not married guys.

Probably true.
