gRomoZeka,

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!

This is too perfect. It is just what I was looking for for a scene in Chapter 11 (remember, I am now on Chapter 19 and filling in some holes and looking for new things to add for depth in future chapters).

And, what is even more ironic... my Dmitri sings this to Valentina and when I was researching the song I found this...

Valentina Mikhaylovna Leontyeva ... She was also the host of the Goluboy ogonyok ("Blue Light"), a New Year's Eve variety show, and Spokoinoi Nochi, Malyshi ("Good Night, Little Ones"), a daily program for children. In 1975, Leontyeva was awarded the USSR State Prize.

How amazing!

Thank you so much for putting the words in English as well so I can put them in the book. My daughter had a kick out of hearing Russian. She has never heard it before.
Rockzmom.
