I am searching for lirics and mp3 of music

Thu, 17 May 2012 15:41:25 GMT

I am Bob Scholten from Holland. I worked at Kythera in 1965 and some years later in a team of Word Council of Churches.
I am looking for the lyrics of Kytherian songs (the music from this site I have already).
I am also interested in mp3's of Greek popular songs from the sixties and older.
During the time I was on Kythera we sang a lot after dinner (there was no television).
Next summer we go back to visit the island.
