The Lemk (pronounced Wemk in Polish) is an ethnic group from Central Europe, specifically south eastern Poland and south western Ukraine. As with so many of that ilk, they were hounded from their homes by both the Nazis and the Soviets, never to return.
http://www.lemko.org/ On a recent visit, I stumbled across a Lemko restaurant and spent a wonderful evening being regaled with the folk music of the region. At first by a trio of musicians then, later in the evening, by a group of students that came in to drink and sing along. The friend that was with me ended up dancing with the waiter. 8-) The pictures are not of the best quality (it was much darker than it appears) but I hope they give an impression of the enjoyment I had that evening. http://home.fotocommunity.com/mike.a.wilson/index.php?id=529253&g=242560 DL/2, A50/1.7 mostly mike -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
