We knew once we felt the atmosphere, tasted the light rains, and smelled the fruiting vines, that this theater was like no other." Okay, it doesn't have the selfie-taking, duck-lipped tourists of the Alhambra or the faded curtain glory of Buckingham Palace, but it does have a very practical and comfortable concrete seating that has always been popular amongst ancient Greeks and modern ones.
Elizabeth DuttonHOST
We missed the daily serving of dolmades, but very much enjoyed the evening performance of the Demis Roussos tribute act.

Thence to 1972, to Demis Roussos and Vangelis Papathanassiou, among others, in Aphrodite's Child, and the Four Horsemen from their album named after my school registration number, 666.
John SimsHOST
Well, I can be a bit of a beast sometimes.
