Paula Wolski<p>🌿Finnish folk 🌿: an original song with traditional lyrics about how “my eyes and yours always find each other, once in public, once in private”.</p><p>This was last July, a baking hot summer evening in Helsinki. Hard to imagine such temperatures at the moment 😅<br>

Tady právě od Křesťana. Někdy ani ne přímo od něj, ale od někoho někde na čundru u ohně. A pak PRÁSK! Ono je to od Dylana!

Lindy 👽<p>My incredible girlfriend started playing <a href="https://library.love/tags/banjo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>banjo</span></a> earlier this year, and she got good at it rather quickly!</p><p>She plays <a href="https://library.love/tags/clawhammer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clawhammer</span></a> style, which is the more traditional sound of the <a href="https://library.love/tags/Appalachian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Appalachian</span></a> region.

Blbě, ale zase ne tak moc. Ta písnička má pro mne neuvěřitelnej drajv, škoda, že ji nedokážu nafrázovat v originále. Zpívám tedy verzi od Michala Tučného, Toulavej song.
