"greek music" What is it that grabs you? Is it the music of Theodorakis and the like? This interests me because I lived in Greece and love the musicality of the people.

Yes, I like Mikis Theodorakis, and Manos Hadjidakis. In high school I dated a girl whose family came from Crete. She got me started. Good bouzouki music has a little of the middle eastern sound you don't hear much in Europe north of Serbia and Bulgaria. But, it still has melodies that aren't as strange to me as pure Turkish music might be. Bad bouzouki music sounds like it belongs in dives I'd be afraid to walk into, but it still sounds fun.
