A kind Thank You to a family member of Regina’s for bringing these to my attention. I am hoping to get larger versions.
Regina Spektor talks about a bug landing on her piano & how if she was a Monk she would have stopped playing, but she’s just a New York City girl that just smashed a bug. And she also shares with us, “the nice people in a forest” of her FAMILY’S 23rd Anniversary of coming over to America! Yay!
“This is a magical forest filled with lots of really good people,” Regina Spektor told a delighted audience Tuesday night at the Greek Theatre, nestled into Los Angeles’ Griffith Park. “That’s all you really need.
I’ll be uploading more of my videos later on.
I remember regina’s short bangs and I miss them so! I would love to do this to my hair, but it will never look as good as reg’s.

This so happened to be my fav photo of Regi the moment I saw it and funny enough this is the photo she uses for her Fb and Twitter and I love that.
Here’s one of the songs that will be released on vinyl on Record Store day. It’s called “The Old Jacket”, and was originally written by Russian musician and poet, Bulat Okudzhava. This is a live version that we recorded at the HIAS show.
English Translation:
I have a shabby jacket on,
It’s rather old and quite worn out.
I ask the tailor to come round
and alter it before too long.
I tell him playfully: “You see,
the jacket needs an alteration,
the art and skill of dress creation
will bring the best of luck to me”.
I say it playfully, in fun,
but he is serious, not laughing.
He worries fearing that something
may come amiss. A funny man.
He is exceedingly intent
on mending it, and seems to like it;
he wants the renovated jacket
to make me happy and content.
And this is how he sees the plan:
when he has done with alteration
I will believe in your affection…
But he is wrong. A funny man.
