Giorgos
Tzimakis (Tsagarakis)
I
am exactly ninety years old!
My
father was from Rethimnon and my late mother from Selino, Hania. I am
tall, thin, I don’t drink or smoke, never have I eaten more than
necessary. I am exactly ninety years old, I am standing on my feet, I
am doing everything alone, I need nobody. For seventy five years I am
into my music, my entire life is devoted to music. I play fourteen
instruments as easily as
you you’re your fingers. Lyre, mandola, mandolin, bouzouki, lute,
outi, violin, guitar, german lyre and more. If you ask me where I have
learned them, I’ d say “I don’t know”…
