I hope you’ve enjoyed these birthday celebrations through the year. As you realise, I don’t always go for the big songs as we hear enough of them already. I like to celebrate those lesser-known performers and song. True, they may not have done very well, but they still had their three minutes of fame. Similarly, if a performer has had several songs, I like to pick the less fashionable ones. In the case of today’s birthday girl, Άννα Βίσση/Anna Vissi/Anna Vishy, you might remember her histrionics when she sang in Greece for Greece all those years ago. But in 1980 she didn’t have the money to get around so had to hitch-hike everywhere. Anna is 57 today.
Χρόνια πολλά, Άννα!
