Today i am with a human with whom we known each other for about 20 years he taught me, he has provide me, life’s lessons sometimes when I was helping him at the fields, other times playing music, him playing zabuna and violin and me tubaki and lauto. He taught me the pure – simple life, so today, here with Iosif Printezis and with nickname Grothias, he is an illuminated human, willing to deliver without money any kind of knowledge he has achieved without discrimination and without borders. He hasn’t finished school, but the education he has innate, is a role model.

Yes, yes

So, yes, for the beginning thank you, that we are having this conversation – this interview, and I would like to begin telling as where you were born and date of birth.

I was born in first of January the ’46. It was also New Years Day and when I was born, the New Yeas Day at afternoon, my mother told, she was at a fiesta and were singing the carols and dancing with zambunes and tolled my father “Andoni let’s go because I am going to give a birth” the left the fiesta and went home, not far away and until my father brought the midwife, a little upper, lady Maria, I was born. From the time I was out until late at night, I was crying all the time.

When you were born, midday?

That… I was born the New Years Day the afternoon

Ah, the afternoon, yes

And all the night from the time I was born, all night, until the rise of the sun I was crying continuously. And mother was telling: “What can I do to him? What can I do to him?”. So, in some point a company arrived. They were coming from Galissa, Pago – Galissa and when they arrived they said: “ How about we go to sing the carols at Andoni’s and Marika’s house “ and by the time, they say, I heard zambuna I stopped crying.

Ok!

They came inside, they played zambuna, my father treats them, go, that’s it, ok

Your first contact with music as well

That’s what I wanted to conclude, of course my mother told me everything that I heard zambuna. The first thing I heard was zambunes that’s why I learned. I visit one called Markos Dalezios and taught me, Karakalos.

Which age?

I started eight years old. Also, my mother met me with Markos, Dalezios

She asked him to…

Yes! He… was playing zambuna and asked him: “Come by our house to teach Iosif?” And indeed, he was coming home several times at night, sometimes and taught me. Afterwards I learned more than him because I am more acoustic eh! So, by the years passes we had companies for, the New Years Eve, first pork fiesta afterwards New Years Eve, at the carnival and I was, they were always calling me to play zambuna and dance.

Eh you… you were eight years old when you had lessons

Yes, my first lessons

But how many?

.. me I needed 5-6 lessons and I learned the songs

Yes! Which was your first song?

My first song was “Down by the sea (kato sto gialo)”

“Kato sto gialo” eh?!

“Kato sto perigiali”. With that song I taught the kids, and all of you

Yes, and all of us!

The kids

But you asked to learn zambuna?

Yes!

You asked. Ah!

Yes! Because, what? When a child is born and first hears music, what could listen? The zambuna, afterwards came the violins and clarinets and all of them at the big fiestas, I also like them, and buzuki came later. Much later buzuki came to my life of course.

Now we are talking about after ’50, after ‘55

We are talking about first years of ’50, whole ’50 decade and ’60.

So ’50, ‘60

At the ‘60’s I was solo, eh, young and we had companies

Fourteen years old right? At the ‘60’s

Yes, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen and more and we gathered to sing the carols, for two days eh! We were singing the carols and… we were always looking to visit houses with young girls eh!

Houses with ladies so!

Eh of course

And I wanted to ask you!

Time to time we were going, so, to play zambuna and we couldn’t see the lights on from inside, understand? And we were discussing: “Eh guys, no one is here let’s go” and we heard voice: “I am inside, I’ll open the door, I will treat you but you will sing the hole carol!” it’s long eh!

There are the same carols we…

The same we sing now yes! At the Apollon Theater last and this year, let’s say, sang.

And how many were you?

.. about seven, eight, nine many people wanted to take part!

One was playing zambuna, you

One zambuna, one tubi and the rest were singing and dancing and, I know ok… singing also the carols!

A lot of fun!

Until I went to the military and after the military, we also did that for girls eh! We were going to houses where girl lived there.

You had success?

Eh?

You had dates with girls?

Yeah, yeah, of course

I mean you were meeting new young ladies?

Also, in the groups we had afterwards at the shops, the girls were coming with us to have some fun too.

You were asking them out, the young ladies?

Yes sure

First you met them at the house

We met them and also got permission from the parents. It was a little bit stricter back then

Yes

Anyway, not good, anyway

When did you start…?

I like free

When did you start going out?

From 14 years old, there, my first company over there. My first company. We are… 2, 4, 5 in the shop for the first time went inside and play also, I know, we had few money eh! “Eh guys don’t order many things in case we don’t have to pay” Ok?

And you were drinking?

Wine

Ah you were drinking wine from 14 years old?!

Yeah, ok! No, no. I never got drunk. Once and I felt so bad with mastiha drink

Mastiha

Mastiha drink yes and…

Import from

No, no, eh yes from here, from Chios

Yes, yes, not from Syros

Yes, it was back then masticha the special drink. Later we had whisky

I repeat we are around ’60 decade

Those yes. All those yes until ’60 decade. After that I went to the military on the ’66 I went soldier on the ‘67

And local big fiestas? Where they took place? I mean we have…

Look, as I was getting older at the local fiestas, they were “taverns” they didn’t have money for big orchestra

Ok

And the music was with zambunes. Sirto, ballo, kalamatiano that kind of dances. Polka

The zambuna player got paid?

Of course! Old time yes

They were getting paid!

Later… I never got paid. The last years the don’t pay. But old times many did. Also, Solaris mentions that at his book.

Your night walk was here in Finikas?

And, the “tavernas” that had more money they were bringing orchestra, clarinet, violin, lutes, santurs and canuns.

Do you remember any ‘tavern’?

Sure, so, “Pantelaos” was a tavern at the middle, there was “Patelies” at the place where Solakas is located now

Those are the big ‘taverns’ they had the orchestras?

Yes exactly, and from the other side “Forathenes”

Aha, all of them in Finikas and the three

Yes, and the three. Some times in the name of Saint Pantelaemona on the 27 of July and the three ‘taverns’ had orchestra.

Come on

Yes, zambuna was… Zambuna only was played at the pork fiesta, on the New Years Eve and at the Carnival. At the carnival were dancing and had fun with zambunes. Until I get old. They wanted to hear zambuna, it was carnival’s, understood. By the time carnival days were off, they wrap and place zambuna at the drawer

For the, again for the next Christmas

For the next pork fiesta. Octomber, November yes. At the summer they were feasting with the violins, clarinets, lutes, santurs and canuns

And mostly at the ‘taverns’

Yes sure. At the fiestas. And the duration when I was young was until the next day’s night. I mean 27, 28^th of July until the next day, ‘til night we had fiesta.

The were big local fiestas not one night live…

No, no, no, big fiesta, big fiesta. It was difficult you know

They were…

It was difficult back then to go out, not like now… Because when we were going to fiestas, at celebration on ‘taverns’ the rest winter where did we gathered? Home with companies. The youth where was going to? At the storages, “Themonies’ they call them, themonies. The cut sausage from pork fiesta, let’s say, they also had, let’s say, a meze and were playing music and dancing inside the storages which the youth called “themonies”. The older inside the house, at the salons and kitchens

They were also coming girls and dancing also and…

Back then I was young I cannot say, I don’t recall but mostly boys. At houses. If the house had girls they were in the company

With zambunes

Stricter, more introvert

With zambunes? Or? and violins… violin and zambuna? What kind of instruments?

No, no. And more instruments. We had one guy here in Finikas he was playing violin and clarinet and zambuna. Sometimes they were playing inside the houses, understood? Eh, one two not more

You weren’t playing? You were still young?

Me zambuna?

Eh yes, at the “Themonies”

Another instrument?

No, no at the “Themonies” you told me before

It happened and I played also

Ah you played also

Yes, I played

They invited you?

I was about 13, 14, 15 years old, some guys wanted to hear, close from here, Takis the famous he was playing. He, when I was 14, 13, 14 years old, they started playing the buzuki. Dalezii from Delagratsia, Katsantonis, all of them and here in Finikas three were playing. Three were playing buzuki. One told me: “Iosif, you have good ear. Why don’t you come to teach you buzuki” “I want zambuna and violin!” But I couldn’t find, my longing was I couldn’t find someone to teach me violin. I would have been not top… come on, ok

You couldn’t find an instrument or, because if you had instrument

Instrument we could have found one, I would told my father to buy me one. Someone to saw me the first steps. I went, I once went to, his name was Yiannis Musuraries. I told him: “Master Yiannis can… can I come to saw me, teach me the first steps on the violin?” He was playing good violin! “You know, you know what, you should learn the way I learnt!” He disappoint me. He was with Apostola, he was, when we were done from the military, they were calling them to play at their house. Apostolas had the buzuki, Musuraris the violin and Apostola’s daughter, Flora I thing, she was playing the accordion. They had a nice orchestra. And at the big fiestas and… so, at the big fiestas, after those instruments

Without microphones

You had to spent, you had to spent money in order to dance

Ah, you had to spent money to dance!

Yes, and to get in line to dance. Or, in order not to have a misunderstanding

With your family?

Yes with fam… groups, companies

Groups, companies

Company! And they were dancing tango and valse. They still have, they forgot. And they say, it also moved to Ikaria and in Chios

Those things after your military right?

Eh?

You are talking about after you discharged from the army

And before. With the instruments they were dancing Sirto, Ballo, Kalamatiano all those dances… Tangos, Valse, Fox Angle you remember, you know that?

Valse?

How we said the…

Tango

Tango, Valse and Fox Angle

What’s Fox angle? It’s like…

No, it was… they were dancing in couples. Yes, it’s in couples. Like

Like polka?

Tango, Valse. Yes. And they were dancing… like polka exactly. They are like… something we didn’t passed to the next generations, damned

Ok

Anyway

I would like to ask now… Here is you father’s house, let’s say.

No, my fathers were up the hill. Where is the bakery of Danos, next to there is

Ok

The owner is the bank now, anyway

.. did your parents where hearing music at home?

My mother was singing

She was singing. Great

She had beautiful voice and she was singing

What kind of?

My father… The songs… Carnivals, you know first one is singing and then the others answer, carnival songs. We have record them, remember you were there? Yes, you where because I have… not long time ago I saw the movie

Yes

The… come on, what’s the name?

The, the “The place and it’s song (O topos kai to tragoudi tou)”

Bravo! “O topos kai to tragoudi tou” they came from Thessaloniki, channel ERT3 and made a movie. You also took part. Beautifull movie! You, have it?

Yes, I do

You must see it, very nice!

There is also, at the internet

The moment you are dancing, you were jumping. The girls all of it. Very nice. I saw it the day before and I was so moved. I am looking things like that now. Like, if you were at… at the on New year’s Eve, what it’s called?… how we decorate salas table. Did, you take part? Akrivos was there!

I was once more when we filmed a wedding. How was the folk wedding in Syros

.. no, the wedding was, yes! I also have that! Also I will, I want to see it one day… Also, very nice! Good job!

Your mother was singing and she was from the… she was singing first and they were answering to her let’s say?

Yes, and zambuna songs

She must have had a loud voice

Like that all together. But she had, high pitched, sweet voice! Like I sing. High notes just like I sing she was singing. She had nice voice and they were inviting here to sing. But music… she liked. My father not so much. His whole family.

And you were playing… you were playing at the house music?

Yes, yes

Vinyl let’s say

Sometimes they were playing card games my mother and father, I was young, when Markos was leaving, I played zambuna and they liked that they were hearing it.

Ah! You played for them!

Yes, I do! I was sitting close to them while they were playing board game, tavli, indeed? Board games… card games…

Who played tubaki? Only zambuna?

I was playing only zambuna yes!

Double pipe zambuna wright?

Yes

No single

Yes double, I had a small, a small one, small which I lost damn it. No Karakalos gave me and I gave him back.

Ah!

A small zambuna like Maghariou, I saw you?

Yes, you did!

Bravo! Just like that. Iosifakiu’s!

Iosifakiu’s. The dwarf.

The dwarf! Bravo

And you… The only lessons were zambuna’s, after?

Eh ok. I was teaching zambuna while I was in the association of Finikas, and a guy was arriving and he was teaching violin and lauto, ok

Violin and lauto… and those years you had a few lesson in violin

There I learned violin

Remind me how old were you? Fifty?

Around fifty yes! It was the first time I touched a violin. They are telling me: “Bravo Iosif! That age and you are playing the violin so good? The most difficult instrument!”

E, difficult! And you enjoy playing e?…

Listen, Giorgaki came some time before. He told me: “They told me you are playing good violin; I came, I want to hear” We had met in Faneromenie. I told him: “Come by my house on Sunday” and he says: “Yes, I will” He came that Sunday, for about two and a half hours. I played nonstop violin, he said: “I didn’t expect that!” He had also said: “I will talk about it with Maria Plumbi (Plumi), she plays lauto”. I say: “I saw the girl upon Faneromenie she has and nice voice, she sings and nisiotiko and she plays nice

Yeah, yead Maria… yes!

And Mena, they played nisiotiko, island songs and everyone was dancing!

Yes

The stage was till the chairs we were sitting! Full! And I told Akrivos: “Do you remember I told you?”

Yes ok

“Don’t play the same songs. Play nisiotiko

They want to hear…

Play Dimotiko (central Greece)

More like, pop

Play them all!

Yes, yes exactly

At our subject

So, e… and Iosif, what is your basic work?

So, me, from the biggening my job was farmer.

Farmer, yes!

I liked it! At around the age of forty-five? Those years… at Ermoupolis was “Neorion Shipyards” at its bests. About 2.000 employees. My father told me: “would you like to work there? A guy told me if you want, he can find you a place”

Yes

I said: “I won’t go, I want to stay here! Do you?” And he went

A, he went for the job

I stayed at the farm; I built greenhouses. I farmed until I got my pension.

Nice! You were not a professional musician but you enjoyed playing, a lot

Yes

And for whom you enjoy playing most, prefer

For the company

For the company

The company, friends, familiar to me. The kids if they like, like you

Like as that you taught us in the association

And we organized many and different happenings, we had tours all the islands. We travel till Br… Brussels in… in Strasburg and in… come on…

In Marsei, Marseille

Marseille, bravo. Which is very similar with Greece. A port

It’s very close yes!

Big Port

Would you like, if you were playing violin, would you like to be a professional?

Eh to tell you the truth

Or no? Or no?

Not so much

Not so much

I’d prefer more for the company for example, understand?

Yes, yes, yes

Because I heard from Dalezio let’s say, he played violin. And… at the end, he was not satisfied.

Yes

They cursed us, they didn’t pay us, they tricked us. Too many, as I also have read let’s say, understand

Difficult… musician’s job is, also if you work at night until the sunrise!!

For the record… it’s also poor

Eh… it is

I gave firehouse wood to… George of… father of

Of Zervos

Yes

Ok

He told me: “Do you have wood for the fireplace, damn it” and I said: “Come on all give you a pallet as a present. You will just pay the truck”

Ok!

As I was there, we were discussing and asked him: “Akrivos will pay you a visit from Athens?” And answered: “Damn it, it is not possible… he is paid fifty euro for the hole night playing music. He needs one hundred two-way trips. How is it possible?”

Ehh yes

I said: “Me, I have told to the kids, simultaneously learn and something more. Not only music. Little George… he played the lauto. “Achu” he tells me, “Very nice instrument, I would like to buy it!” I told him: “Giorgaki, that’s the price. I will give it to you” I said “I won’t call, I’ll wait for you and if you have one and a half thousand I will give it to you. The price I bought it, I will sell it.” He never called, I’ve seen him some times but I didn’t tell him anything . Also, John from Galissas. I told you?

Yes, yes

Bravo! As soon as he came from Holland… I told him: “Will you manage to buy it as you ‘ve told me?” He answers: “Fiefie I don’t have the money. I can’t, I can’t, despite that the salary is higher I don’t have the money” He is paid around two thousand I thing

Also, the life is more expensive nowadays!

It is expensive there. For the house, the rent it’s expensive. He told me: “I can’t, I want but…” I said “Al wright” George came by and I said: “George I will give it to you” From the last summer we played here here at my house… I said: “You know what… I sell it and I sell one by one so that I don’t have many things and to keep the most necessary. Zambuna, one, two violins”

Yes, those are fine

Nothing else, only those

Now I will take you somewhere else… a little bit different

Yes

.. I want you to tell me… your opinion… Which is the difference between the instrumental music and music with lyrics?

.. look… eh… when you play only zambuna… ok… for example me I play, let’s say, I play… I want to hear or the lauto or tubie to be in, to play correctly. One thing that can keep it, for someone who don’t know the song very well, it’s to hear someone singing. I mean to pay attention, to hear the one who sings and then you answer. Just like that, you feel the music. Because I have heard a lot bir, bir, be, be , be they play ah.. bullshits, the music, understood?

The music and the lyrics

It is something right! I mean, the theory right but and the practice even more right. Understood? Because in theory you study one, two, three, five years and you, and you are lack of, just like Makaries told me: “I was about to get insane” he told me

Who, what did he tell you?

Makaries is the husband Elenas Konitopulu

Yes?!

Also, his father-in-law is Antonis Konitopulos. We once brought them here

Nice

So, he played, played, played

Yes

He was kind of tight, and one moment they told me: “Eh man, I saw..” damn it… he is old and he gave classes… violin and he was singing, damn it, from Naxos. He is… Barberakies

Ok

They told me: “Hey, Barberakies is here, can he get upon the stage?” “Yes of course! Why not” And he stands upon the stage… the difference… the practical, from the theory. Sometimes, practical it’s more… you don’t play nice and correctly but on the other hand, theory is many times, he is tight

Yes

Many times he couldn’t play. Understand? That is the difference

It needs the best of both

Yes, yes

To have a theoretical knowledge but

It’s good to, let’s say, one practical or violin or…. Whatever, zambuna all of them to know the notes. Understand? When someone is telling me to play “Atermona” … or a woman. “What’s the tone?” I say “From Do”. Do# it’s my zambuna, from Do it is on the violin

Yes

And tunes the voice in Do. You will not begin from La or Sol

You understand it’s other, you communicate yes

When a man is singing or a low voice, Do or Sol or La. You need to know and some practical things ok…

And theoretical

The one who is practical

Bravo

And acoustic. By ear. And it is, it is in nature. How can I say? Human nature to have acoustic eh!

What do you mean?

I mean

What exactly? Yes

When hearing, when I am hearing a song, lately I’ve heard a song… indeed I wrote it down

In the summer you gave me a bunch of grapes

and can’t wait the red like your lips

And I want to set sail to go to Paros

I’ll make you my woman to the Hundred-Tails

 That song…. I heard it, and learned it… someone else can’t do it, understand? He needs notes

Ah, need to, need notes to learn it

Ehh, in order to… in case has a music knowledge… follows notes, understand? What tone Iosif, Iosif what tone? From Sol, La, from Do, from Re, From Mi?

Nice

That is the tone

Yes

Understand?

Yes… Nice! Which one is your favorite instrument?

My most favorite instrument?

In general, let’s say. The instrument you are aware of

In general, all of them. And from those I don’t play?

Yes, yes! And from those!

There are, first zambuna and second the violin

The end

The ones I’ve heard as a child. Ok those are. I also liked that they were having fun with those instruments

It’s nice yes

Family time… They dance all together… Me nowadays if, me wherever I go sometimes with buzuki and there is not violin… play for me zebekiko from Aivali. Which is a violin song.

From Aivali, Aivali

The feet are dancing by themselves

Now something eh… island song, nisiotiko… em… from a little that I have read it is a new kind of music, I mean

Yes

It has been developed from the ‘60’s and after, this is what I mean

The ‘60’s and older. No, older. The song, Atermona

Yes!

Has sang it, has composed it a monk from Amorgo

Aha, I see

He wrote the lyrics and composed the music. In addition, it comes from, has byzantine music, all of them, understood?

Yes yes

They have music, byzantine music!

Byzantine

Like the priest chants, the same and the amanes that sings, understood? The came from byzantine music. What I am telling you, tango, valse, fox-angle, they came from Europe, they call them Evropaeka, understood? But mostly here they are from east, from byzantine music. Which, for example here: There is one, one with recorder in Serifos… eh… with my little fishing boat? No, no, no

One little fishing boat, north wind banished it

only daughter inherited it

Wicker, wi..

Let’s move on to Kithnos

Yes

To Saint Konstantino, to Saint Konstantino. That song I also play it with zambuna eh!

To Saint Konstantino, to Saint Konstantiono I will build a house

to have a view of Kanala, to have a view of Kanala

to have a view of Kanala and at the back the baths

Which one is Kanala?

She is… You weren’t when we visited Kithnos?

Yes?!

It is low a beautiful place, inside the forest. I thing it is a monastery something, a church it something over there yes! But very beautiful place! I’ve been there twice!

Can I ask you two more little questions?

Yes, as many as you want

And we stop for now? Eh… Which is your favorite idea of perfect happiness?

The?

The… the… yours perfect idea of perfect happiness

Of perfects happiness!… Here we are! When I was born, we had, we had the, at first, we had the religion, that strict

Yes

Don’t do that, a sin! Hell, cathartics, heaven and I know, this is forbidden, that is forbidden, that is forbidden. I didn’t like that. While I am reading, let’s say, many authors, one was him, Nikos Kazantzakis. What did Nikos Kazantzakis say? He checked the whole affair of Jesus Christ.

What did he do?

Jesus Christ affair, he went to Palestine and checked all of them and there are not as the way they presented it to us here. It was not Jesus Christ the wild, Jesus was a free man, to have relationship with all the good people, to help the one next to you, to mind, I know, the kid all of that. Understood?

Yes, yes

Which I slowly learn, as I was getting older, he learned, I learned and choose that: I don’t believe anything! I Don’t have faith in anything, I am free.

Yes

This is what I wanted to be! To be free! The one: “If you don’t come on Sunday in the church you will go to hell” I make fun of it those days. They impose it when I was young and now I dislike that and I will make you, I will make you an example, because this might also happens at the orthodox chur.. religion

Yes

For the Catholicism I am talking about. In 1600 – 1700? France, Catholicism of Frace, was what I am telling you, the strict! No, ou, a pa pa, understood? Spain, Italy were loose, German, Holland all of them loose. An author wrote, that author I don’t remember his name, from France, born in 1808… and died 1900… in 1868. About sixty years old. What happened… the situation with France, the protection of France that they are saying they came here with the Turks, they made, they made alliance. Understand?

Yes

And the whole, the whole thinking they brought it here with the Catholicism, to us, let’s say, catholism. A part of it also has the orthodox but not so much, yours there are more loose

Yes, no there are

And I grow up, I grow up in a strict environment! And he says, it is written at the book, that he had been also in Syros. He went upon Chrousa where there are some mansions and he says that the place was so nice that he told them, actually one host him,… lord and he told him: “You should pay a visit to the other side, another village!” he said: “I will go” A barefoot young boy took him, they climb the hill Nietes and from the top he saw Posidonia, Delagratcia as they called it. There are some mansions, was beautiful. And he liked very much and stayed all day there. And he wrote that: “The Catholicism of France, the strict, one day will fall” Here it is.

Eh there are more loose

And you know what, you know what lear.. you know what I am hearing now? That one priest has eight parishes in France. Like here, like here know, they are becoming less! Especially the youth! Few are going. And they respond: “Come on, not so strict”

I understand

Ah, now not so strict? They made my heart black when I was young. Why god damn it? Jesus was not like that! He walked, helped, loved everyone, even the ones that they crossed him. One more thing that I’ve told to many, and literate and officers and more… I do not admit the single cross, single… I admit when I am looking a cross with Jesus, where they execute him, they killed him, the let him rot upon there and they protype that thing and kept it to all the Cristian, orthodox all the Cristian religions, cross single, cross wherever you watch cross

There is a difference

That

There is a difference

I do not like. They say: “You don’t cross yourself?” “No” I say “I don’t” But if I see a cross, in my house or at other houses and see the Jesus upon it, that I respect

Yes, because it reminds you

Because upon there the execute him

It makes you remember also

Why, why should I worship the single. You know where it came from? From Persia, it was the death penalty of Persia, came to Palestine and reached the ancient Rome

I see

And the built now over there and… and every night the light it on and shines the whole village, Finikas. Come on!

Yeah yeah, the single cross, yes!

Really, I say, I do not like!

One last thing! What do you appreciate most at your friends?

Why I appreciate?

What you appreciate, what!

What I appreciate?

Yes

To be, because I watch kids, even and, even if I find hard kids, I stay with them and try to, just like to soften them understand?

Yes?!

Twenty years with the association, many kids passed by, naughty kids, they passed by and were telling me: “How can you be so patience?” Eh op, they were leaving, the older, I mean from my association

Yes yes

And: “How can you stand them?” “It’s ok” I say “There are kids. They are coming here to play, to yell, to sing to make jokes and tricks. Eh, it’s ok we also” I said “We also did that when we were kids” Ok I didn’t…. I was quiet. Understand?

I do

So, I appreciate all the kids even the naughty ones, you see what it’s happening now eh?… Gangs

I see
