Zoe and Valerie, from a Belarusian village in Brest

Sometimes the only way to move through the world is honestly and from the heart, with gusto!

I first saw this video on Facebook and loved it! I dug around with the aid of Google Translate until I  found a link on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdVBWmmzoA

Zoe & Valerie

Fascinated by the couple's heartfelt performance and strength of their music I kept searching. Here is a link to a  documentary on this most interesting brother and sister from Belarus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pViF8iwxpOE

The name of the song is "Again I Stand Alone", and I personally not only want to have the pair over for coffee but also want Zoe to bring her Mickey Mouse apron!

Russian Accordion (Bayan) Ensemble

Timbre Russian Accordion Group

Spending a life with an accordion and accordionists may give me an interesting view of the world. Interesting to others or not, I find it fascinating because no matter how much I learn there is always something that intrigues me to learn more. This Russian accordion ensemble plays familiar music, but the instruments are largely unfamiliar. I call it one normal B-system chromatic accordion and friends. When put through Google Translate their name means "Russian Voice", I think they may have been headed toward something like "The Sounds of Russia". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOzi6gilQoE

Seeing Double? Like Rollerblades and Accordions?
