Pavlo Simtikidis, Mediterranean Music

Opa!! Guitar virtuoso & 'Lord of the Strings' Pavlo Simtikidis talks about going from Pape & Danforth to selling CDs at the One of a Kind Craft Show to his PBS Special 'Live from Santorini,' swimming upstream against record label executives who told him he was ‘too ethnic’ and to ‘get rid of the bouzouki,’ successfully suing Jay-Z & R Kelly for copyright infringement [he is now a co-writer of FIESTA!], touring around the world consistently for over 25 years, his collaborations with Jose Feliciano/Gordon Lightfoot/Rik Emmett/Kim Mitchell [and his desired collaboration with Sting], playing for then-Prince now-King Charles [whose Dad Prince Philip was born in Greece!], how you can join his OPA [Official Pavlo Admirers] fanclub, why he gifts his guitar to a lucky fan after every show, and why he may take the path of least resistance and shoot his next PBS TV Special from his hometown ‘Live from Toronto’!
