Language / Found this in stuff my folks left; appears to be a "drinking" song; [6]

interesting that you should make such an observation/comment; but, yes it did.......I have very fond memories of my family singing a great deal at our get togethers but the song that really "nails" me is Upływa szybko życie which was song by my aunts/uncles at the end of every party; even as i write this i get emotional listening to youtube.com/watch?v=65RsH0kjocM

however, the song that brought me to my knees was: as I approached Jasna Gora a few years back and I could hear one of the vendors playing Barka of which this has become my favorite rendition (video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?ei=UTF-8&hsimp=yhs-att_001&hspart=att&p=barka+utube#id=1&vid=4bdc94539c04fa1613f64b33bc370999&action=click

take care, and thanks

Life / Help with Polish address - the correct way of putting that on an envelope? [29]

Thanks, that makes sense since the envelope I'm using for reference was mailed in the mid 70's.................I'll give your recommended format a try.

This entire effort is challenging but great fun that will be most rewarding if I make contact.

Life / Help with Polish address - the correct way of putting that on an envelope? [29]

Merged: Is this the correct format for a Polish address please?

I am beginning the quest of making contact with family in Poland. I'm taking several paths one of which is to attempt written correspondence with those in Poland who have in the past (several years ago) sent letters to my grandmother. I'm trying to understand the return addresses on the envelopes. Does this appear to be a complete address? Is there an obvious way I can clarify the intended destination?
