Welcome!

I have a confession.  
I love the Eurovision Song Contest.  




The problem is, I live in the wilds of Alaska, about as far away from Europe and still be in the Northern Hemisphere.  For many years it's been my secret obsession.  On days where I have nothing much better to do, I've spent hours watching clips of Germans singing country music,




Texas Lightning--"No No Never"  2006

Portuguese girl groups wearing sequined pirate costumes, 


Doce--"Bem Bom" 1981

and songs that seem to be one word sung repetitively


Massiel--"La La La"   1968  Spain

It's cheesy.
It's frivolous.
And it's a hell of a lot of fun.

I hope you come along for the ride.
