Let me tell you about Ahab the Arab.

My personal favorite Ray Stevens is Surfin' USSR. The Shriners' Convention is pretty good too.

Rare film of Yul Brynner singing a Russian gypsy song, Two Guitars.

There is an LP of this stuff, but I don't think it's yet been put on CD.

After the Brynner family escaped from Russia, they were in Paris for a bit, where Yul played guitar and sang with a gyspy troup. He also did some circus stuff. Thence to America and Hollywood stardom.

Interesting family history. They started in Switzerland, had a hand in building the Trans-Siberian railroad, started a shipping line which is still in existence (FESCO), and were into mining.

Walking on a Rainbow, a little guitar pickin' original from Dan Samples. Song is ok (not his best), but Cat folks may get a kick out of the beginning of the video.

If you like a capella, here's Loituma with Levan Polkka. It's not in english, but it doesn't really matter.

I'm not really a fan of Les Miserable, but I do like this version of On my own from the 10year anniversary, as well as this version of Do you hear the people sing sung by leading men from 17 countries. It really grabs you, in all languages.
