This is one of the first albums I owned as a child. I heard it being played over a speaker from a record and gift shop on Monroe Street in downtown Detroit and fell in love with the record and asked my mom to buy a copy for me. Our family was originally from Macedonia in northern Greece and I had been raised with this kind of music. This album contains very smooth renditions of traditional Greek music and has a very professional sound to it -- not folksy. This is my second copy of the album -- the first one was basically played to death -- and I've kept this copy in very good shape.
