Recordist's notes
Winter is coming in in Istanbul and Taksims famousroof top terrace are not as crowded anymore. Thus we get the chance to actually listen to the songs of the musicians still wandering from bar to bar. Whoever is inebriate and excitable enough stands up and accompanies the singing. Maybe also those, that don understand a word, the foreigner, yabanci.
