    I have always had an unhealthy obsession with "foreign" music, I like not being able to understand what is being said in a song. ;)
    Here is one from the great Russian film Stilyagi.
    Reminds me of my old dorm :rolleyes::spitoutdummy::vomit:

    Nothing especially related to coins (apart from me listening the record a thousand times while coining) but on the occasion of the "One size fits all" album 40th anniversary, Frank Zappa's son Dweezil is on tour. And guess what, my own son invited me in Paris for us to go to the concert last tuesday. I had to have a day off at work to go there, but definitely worth it !



    The band played the whole album, and then an actual concert. That was great time to share !

    Happy Q

    That's a cool story, Q ... sounds like a classic new memory (thanks for posting)

    Oh, but I sure wish you'd also post one of your amazing coins, my friend (I never get tired of seeing your sweet offerings!!)

    ... love the Album Cover
