Grzegorz - Jastarnia is beautiful even though I rained all the time I was there last time. I love the lyrics, the music, the vocals - the the beat for dancing is totally perfectly - perfect! Thanks for sharing!!!
Lana, I'm so glad you noticed the Jastarnia quay dancing poster! It is so unique! I also love Jastarnia, my family used to stay there for the whole summer in one of fishermen's houses by the sea. The quay - that used to be an elegant dancing spot, as we see on the old photo - in my childhood had no traces of prewar elegance left. It was a busy and not too clean harbor port with tourists coming on the noisy benzine-ships from Gdynia, as well as boys from the marine diving school nearby.
Yes D., they simply used to DANCE EVERYWHERE! I remeber my parents - who were exactly that generation, as on the photos - just loved dancing. Sometimes as kids, we were left alone at home when "the parents went to the dancing". The very word "the dancing" has completely disappeared from the Polish vocabulary, taken over in the 1970/80s by "the disco" and now - by what? I don''t know. Do the "discos" still exist?
Genia, "Morskie Oko" in Zakopane was a fashionable hotel, and "Morskie Oko" in Warsaw was a theatre. The name Morskie Oko comes from a lovely lake in Tatra Mountains, decsribed by poets and writers or portrayed in thousands paintings and posters thru the centuries in Poland
