Thank You For Stopping To Read, Listen




In case you are in a hurry to listen or read this today, I will make this short.

The new addition to the first two songs are some that reminded me of my heritage. I was listening to the radio the other day,and these two songs came on in succession.

The Maria Elena song, I am so sentimental about. My Dad, Carlos, told me when it came on the radio, that he and my mother, Elena used to dance to that when they were Sweethearts, many years ago, now. The song is one of my favorites, and never new why, other than the melody. It could be a "Back to the Future" kind of song my parents listened to while we ALL watch from before we came to them on earth. It is almost too "Twilight Zone"




The second song, Blue Bayoo, is Linda Ronstadt. She used to sing in Mariachi bands and came up through the ranks as a singer. Her voice is very Hispanic and how she holds her notes, so I like it just for the lilt that one can dance to in the romance of the melody. Yah, Hah!! Must be my great-grandfather coming through who used to play a bass sax in his day. My grandmother, Anita was just a child when he must have been in his glory entertaining with his cronies.

Anyway, I wax nostalgic in all of this. Enjoy....
