About this week's link of the week:
"Years ago the Dutch folk group Laïs came out with a version of the song 't Smidje, which became a monster hit, complete with a street dance/couple mixer that went viral all over Europe and, more recently, in the US (we do it in St. Louis). Now the Georgian (Sakartvelo, not the US state) group Trio Mandili has joined with a Dutch and French folk cooperative to produce their version of the song (especially amusing if you know the original)."- John H Uhlemann - from the FB group "Stuff Folk Dancers Say".
