Dream A Little Dream Of Me - You Are My Destiny - The Look Of Love - All Tomorrow's Parties

These are all well-known, old, classic songs covered with a patina similar to antique furniture. You have to be brave to take such classic tunes, record them + 9 more, together in an album.
I have never met Vassilikos Sakkas but I have heard his voice as lead singer in the Greek rock group Raining Pleasure. After listening to his new solo album “Vintage” I’m sure he is brave in music.

I know all the songs from before and most of them have fallen into my locked and forgotten music archive. Suddenly they pop up again in a new and trendy kind of version. It is vintage and it remains me that quality has nothing to do with age. No matter if it’s clothes, furniture or music.


A cover of patina may do items and songs even more valuable - as long as they are well taken care of.

My favourite among the songs is “Sealed with a kiss”. “I don’t wanna say goodbye for the Summer”.......
Maybe because I’m Finnish-Swedish and the summer always seems to be so short.

Julafton och snön ligger vit över Stockholm. Vi firar dagen på grekiskt vis vilket innebär att man går ut på restaurang. Men det var inte lätt att hitta ett ställe som var öppet. Det kommer att dröja ett bra tag innan familjetraditionen släpper sitt grepp om 24 december.
Christmas Eve and Stockholm is covered by snow. We are celebrating the Greek way which means having dinner in a restaurant. But I tell you - it was not easy to find an open establishment. It seems that the Nordic traditions of celebrating 24 December at home will continue for a long time.


Visste ni att Åbo i Finland är den enda staden som numera utlyser julfred.
