vera_j We had been planning my granddaughter´s summer visit in Spolí. The logistics was flawless! Marta and both children arrived on Saturday early in the morning. Marta and Kryštof stayed here overnight (and Anička) and I used this chance to leave for Třeboň late in the afternoon with my friend Marcela. However Marta and me were worried because Anicka came here with a cough. We decided to wait for morning. Otherwise Anička would stay with me for a week.
There is an annual summer music festival called "Around Třeboň" and she managed to get tickets for a great concert of three folk groups, two of them the best and oldest in CR! The concert took over three hours and it was FAN-TAS-TIC!!!! We knew lots of the songs and every one there was singing along and in the end there was a mighty chorus of hundreds of voices - it was in the open, in the chateau park. Standing ovations, people moved to tears, ME in tears, it was a marvelous atmosphere and it has something in common with our rebelious political atmosphere agains our PM and other corrupted politicians....
Everyone had been sleeping when I arrived. I opened all the windows to let colder night air in (we have had sweltering heat sent from the Sahara for more than a week again) and went too bed. I got up very early, it was a nice morning cold of 15°C, and took Rocky for his walk. With Anička, we can´t do this while she is here, we take him only for short walk on a lead. So I wanted him to enjoy "the last chance". We returned and the children were getting up. However Anička was unwell, pale and tired and with a higher temperature. So we decided not to risk anything and we cancelled the stay, putting it off for August. It is a pity but I am glad - what would I do in case of any problems?
And here I can´t resist posting some samples from the concert of both the folk groups:
Hradišťan

The place and time are different but the programme is the same. The songs are inspired by the MOravian folklore. All the musicians are "possessed" with music - simply brilliant!
Spirituál kvintet

An older recording but still a very beautiful baladic song...
