Dylan a lazy emailer, says Mouskouri

Nana Mouskouri likes to email with fellow music legends but complains that Bob Dylan is a poor cyber-penpal in a German magazine interview published Wednesday.

The 74-year-old Greek star said she and Leonard Cohen fire quick little notes at each other constantly from their computers and complimented Quincy Jones as another loyal electronic correspondent.

`I love emails,` she told Bunte magazine. `But it is pretty tough with Bob Dylan, he writes so rarely` although he once described her as his favourite female singer.

`The same goes for Harry Belafonte,` with whom she recorded a number of songs and went on a world tour in the 1960s.

`They must be very busy,` she said, adding that she was `no cybergirl` but knew her way around a computer.

The bespectacled songstress bid adieu to a half-century in music with a farewell concert at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens in July.

Born on the island of Crete, Mouskouri has sold more than 300 million records -- not only in Greek but also in French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Hebrew and Japanese, her record company Universal says.
