<p>I have been working with a partner on writing mostly brand new Serbian Music tracks. It has taken a long time due to time constraints, but I feel confident that 2016 will finally see the completion of a number of new tracks.</p>
<p>I am excited about the songs we have come up with...all I am willing to say at this point, is that a couple of the tracks will be non-traditional and perhaps a little of a gamble, but the rest will be 'less out there' and hopefully enjoyed by the majority.</p>
<p>As the music industry (yes I am but a miniscule part of it) has been changing over the last 10 years with the advent of the downloading of tracks more and more, I will not be producing a CD of new music - but rather a set of tracks that will be available for download from most of your favourite places such as Amazon, iTunes etc. This approach saves me the cost of producing the actual CD's, but it also allows you to buy only those tracks that you find interesting, at a very reasonable price.</p>
<p>So stay tuned...I am determined to have some new music out this year...

It is so quaint with references to old England (although it actually may be of French origin)...but I felt the Serbian aspect of the song was lacking...so as a thank you to all of you who have visited my website, and/or purchased my music, I thought the world needed a more Serbianized version of the carol...so I hope you enjoy the song - go to the 'Special' menu item on the far right of the menu and you will have access to listen and download the song. Hope you enjoy it.</p>johnlukich.comtag:johnlukich.com,2005:Post/59777882012-11-24T19:00:00-05:002012-11-23T11:49:24-05:00Serbian Sounds of Music Radio Hour<p>On Sunday November 25, 2012, my good friend Dane Topich, host of the Serbian Sounds of Music radio program selected and played "Oprosti" from my New Horizons/Novi Vidici CD.

The audio was professionally recorded in the All Serbian Saints Serbian Orthodox Church and the video shot on location at the church grounds. My role was playing the accordion, helping mix/finalize the audio and putting the video together. Had lots of fun.</p>
