Carols.

Winter is here, -8 outside. Only three months until Spring. YIPPEE.

Joan is in love with the Christmas carol. Pastuszkowie braca mili. She's humming the tune every since we watched the Golec uOrchestra perform it on TV. I downloaded the text for her, in Polish, and we'll see if she learns it. I like this group also and checked their website but they have no concerts planned yet for Pozna艅. I'm already thinking about next Christmas and maybe spending it in Zakopane so we can hear this group live. In reading the history of the band, one of the two brothers was offered a scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston but was unable to accept. His family didn't have enough money to pay for living costs or plane fare.

They have finally finished the remodeling of the Okr膮dlak building, the round building near Plac Wolno艣膰i






Mamy zim臋, -8 C na zewn膮trz. Zaledwie trzy miesi膮ce do wiosny. Yippee.

Joan uwielbia kol臋dy. Pastuszkowie, mili bracia. Ona nuci t臋 melodi臋, odk膮d obejrzeli艣my j膮 w TV wykonan膮 przez  Golec Orchestra. Pobra艂em tekst kol臋dy  w j臋zyku polskim z Internetu i  zobaczymy, czy Joan si臋 go nauczy. Lubi臋 t臋 grup臋, a tak偶e ich stron臋 internetow膮, ale sprawdzi艂em, 偶e oni nie planuj膮 koncert贸w w Poznaniu. Ja ju偶 my艣l臋 o kolejnym Bo偶ym Narodzeniu, a mo偶e sp臋dzeniu go w Zakopanem, wi臋c mo偶emy us艂yszymy t臋 grup臋 na 偶ywo. Czytaj膮c histori臋 zespo艂u dowiedzia艂em si臋, 偶e jednemu z dw贸ch braci  oferowano stypendium do Berklee School of Music w Bostonie, ale on nie m贸g艂 tego przyj膮膰. Jego rodzina nie mia艂a wystarczaj膮co du偶o pieni臋dzy, aby zap艂aci膰 za koszty utrzymania lub przelot.
Przebudowa Okraglaka  w pobli偶u Placu Wolno艣ci w Poznaniu ostatecznie zosta艂a zako艅czona.
