How rock and roll failed.🎸🎵🎶😅

Vikend. Ono, nisam za izlazak, ali. .

The weekend. That, I'm not for going out, but. .

  • zvrrr.
  • Da?
  • Hoćeš da izadjemo?
  • Uh, nisam nešto. 😒
  • Ma hajde. Kratka šetnja. Čula sam da ima neka rock svirka u gradu.
  • Hm, ok.

zvrrr.

  • Yes?
  • Do you want to go out?
  • Uh, I'm not something. 😒
  • Oh come on. A short walk. I heard there's a rock concert in town.
  • Um, ok.

Drugarica me je pokupila, krenule smo. Hladno. Mrzovoljno sam se kretala ali uvek se nadam nekom iznenadjenju.
Obišle smo neke kafiće. Bezveze.

  • Idemo na svirku?
  • Ok, idemo.
    Prilazimo lokalu iz koga su treštale električne gitare. 🎸🎸🎸
    Otvaramo vrata. Malo je falilo da vratima udarim jednog od gitarista.😅
    Bacila sam pogled sa moje leve strane četiri muzičara na dva kvadratna metra!? 😳
    Prvo što mi je palo na pamet bilo je- znači tako je propao r’n’r??

My friend picked me up, we started. Cold. I moved grumpily, but I always hope for some surprise.
We visited some cafes. No connection.

  • Shall we go to a concert?
  • OK let's go.
    We approach the bar from which electric guitars were blaring. 🎸🎸🎸
    We open the door. I almost hit one of the guitarists with the door.😅
    I glanced to my left four musicians on two square meters!? 😳
    The first thing that came to my mind was - so that's how r'n'r failed??

Trojica gitarista i bubnjar smeštena na površini jednog prosečnog kupatila?? 👀
Momci su izgledali svetski. Ali bilo je ponižavajuće da se stiskaju na tako malom prostoru. 😞
Dostojanstveno su svirali svoj repertoar.

Three guitarists and a drummer housed on the surface of an average bathroom?? 👀
The boys looked worldly. But it was humiliating to squeeze into such a small space. 😞
They played their repertoire with dignity.

Po završetku svake pesme pokušala sam jakim aplauzom da kompenzujem njihovu muku. Nisu dozvolili da se ta neprijatnost ne-komfora prenese na kvalitet muzike. Odlična svirka.
Bacila sam pogled okolo sebe. Shvatila sam da sa suprotne strane ima sasvim dovoljno mesta za odgovarajuću binu koja bi bila mnogo pristojnija.
Zid izlepljen starim r’n’r posterima, bila bi odlična pozadina muzičarima.

At the end of each song, I tried to compensate for their pain with loud applause. They didn't let that discomfort of non-comfort transfer to the quality of the music. Great gig.
I glanced around. I realized that on the opposite side there was enough room for a proper stage, which would have been much more decent.
A wall plastered with old r'n'r posters would be an excellent background for musicians.

Naručile smo po pivo. 🍻 Nije bilo jeftino.🤑 Navodno, piće je skuplje kada su svirke. Ali ako nešto ne promene, neće imati ni ko da im kupi. Zaista mučenje za bendove. Letos su koncerti bili super jer su bili napolju ispred kafea. Odličan prostor ali unutra je organizacija bila loša.
Prvi deo nastupa su završavali pesmom “ Dzamping Dzek Fleš”🎶👏

We ordered beer. 🍻 It wasn't cheap. 🤑 Apparently, drinks are more expensive when there are gigs. But if they don't change something, they won't have anyone to buy for them. Really torture for bands. This summer the concerts were great because they were outside in front of the cafe. Great space, but inside the organization was bad.
They ended the first part of the performance with the song "Jumping Jack Flash"🎶👏

Muzičari su odložili instrumente a zatim prišli šanku da naruče piće. Jedino mesto gde su mogli da stanu je bilo za našim stolom. 😅
Rado smo im predložile da nam se pridruže.
Odmah sam im rekla da su čarobnjaci kad mogu da sviraju na tako malom prostoru!✨
Nasmejali su se. Započeli smo novo prijateljstvo. Zbog njihove sede kose, pitala sam da li im je ovo posao od koga žive? Rekli su da im je muzika sporedna jer se od muzike ne može živeti. 😞
Bili su to vredni ljudi, informatičari, trgovci, profesori. . .

The musicians put down their instruments and then approached the bar to order drinks. The only place they could stand was at our table. 😅
We gladly suggested them to join us.
I immediately told them that they are wizards when they can play in such a small space!✨
They laughed. We started a new friendship. Because of their gray hair, I asked if this was their livelihood? They said that music is secondary to them because you can't make a living from music. 😞
They were hardworking people, computer scientists, traders, professors. . .

Nije bilo puno ljudi ali svi su ćaskali i uživali u dobrim notama. Atmosfera je dobra kada imaš prijatne ljude oko sebe. Samo eto ta bina je stvarno bila problem.
Kakogod, razmenili smo puno priča, upoznale nove prijatelje koji su hrabro i profesionalno odsvirali repertoar koji me je vratio 30 godina unazad.

There were not many people but everyone was chatting and enjoying the good music. The atmosphere is good when you have pleasant people around you. Only that stage was really a problem.
Anyway, we exchanged a lot of stories, met new friends who bravely and professionally played the repertoire that took me back 30 years.

I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I Do. . . 🎸🎶🎸🎶

This place looks very similar to a tiny gig I once had with a band in Athens. Every time I pass from this place I look inside and still wonder how we managed to fit in 🙂 Fortunately we played away from the door so no one slammed my guitar 😄
If there's a will, there's a way ;)

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

So a musician? Wonderful!

I was in Athens. Ah, I would love to do it again! Acropolis ❤️❤️❤️

The Cycladic islands were a true paradise for me, Paros, Naxos, Santorini, etc.

I greet you and wish you successful work! 👋🥂

ps. And watch out for the door.

Here's bits of my music (all played & written by me): https://www.orestistrips.com/music

Next time you plan Athens you can contact me to guide you around. Most Greek islands are paradise and Cyclades are no exception indeed.

Thanks and I'll watch out for doors 😅

I think you need a drummer and a vocalist. 😉

I'm glad you have a passion for music. Great idea to play in nature, although I prefer the acoustic guitar to nature.

Ok, you never know, maybe the road will lead me to Athens again. 😊

Greeting! 🎶👋
