Rehearsing beloved yesteryear music with my elders and familia!
Thank you Oleg and Cristian for your beautiful guitar work on this piece!

Internet states: The original song is based on a Russian folk melody composed by Boris Fomin, with lyrics by Konstantin Podrevsky. The song was originally titled "Подмосковные вечера" (translated as "Moscow Nights") and became a popular Soviet song in the 1950s.

Gene Raskin's English version, titled "Those Were the Days," was based on this melody, but the lyrics were adapted by Raskin in the 1960s for Mary Hopkin's recording. So, the melody originates from Boris Fomin, while Raskin provided the English lyrics. The song was produced by Paul McCartney of The Beatles and became a major hit in the late 1960s.
