Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"
These are South African folk songs – beautiful songs describing South African nature and the ‘young’ (upcoming) South Africa (now the forlorn, dying South Africa where horrific things happen on a daily basis.
Ivan Rebroff – a Russian singer
Edit: Ivan Rebroff is not a Russian singer – Eugene, one of my blog readers, just pointed it out to me in a message. Seems like I have to do some research about this singer that’s actually a German: Hans-Rolf Rippert and he took on a Russian acting name.
Hy is geen Rus nie. Hy is Duits genoemd Hans-Rolf Rippert wat in Berlyin gebore is en sy “Russiese” toneelnaam opgeneem.
Om die waarheid te sê, klink hy na my oor met sy sogenoemde “Russiese” liedjies vrek karikatuuragtig. As jy “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming”, “Armageddon” and “Red Heat” met Arnold Schwarzenegger en gesien het, weet jy wat ek bedoel. 🙂 Ek vermoed sy ‘Vir jou Afrika” klink so vir jou ook, ne?
Hi Eugene, Dankie vir die korrigeer! Ek was glad nie bewus van sy agtergrond nie. Ek sal die inskrywing regstel en jou al die eer gee! Ek sal moet gaan navorsing doen! 🙂
Spoken by great men:"Give me 20 divisions of American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." - Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allied Forces during WW2.
"The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honour, glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight, the Russians have no choice. The Germans for their Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of Bitches fight for the hell of it." American General, George 'Guts and Glory' Patton.
