a blast from the past...

not for the quality of the composition, but for the 'character' included with 'yours' truly.
none other than Mr. Bill Bruford, one of the very reasons I play drums.
a constant source of inspiration.

horizonte en espiral

un Horizonte de espirales, se descrubre a lo lejos...

dime Elegua, cantame Elegua.....abreme las sendas..

el horizonte de espirales que nos espera,
me levanto y miro, pero Lorca me abofetea,
Neruda rie a borbotones....y tras el humo del cigarrillo
Rimbaud me mira langidamente, meneando su cabeza.
....con desesperanza.

El horizonte de espirales....a lo lejos rie...y tan rapido se mueve.
me mueve aca y me mueve alla......
cuentos hechiceros contaban de sus portentos....
pero ninguna preparacion es suficientemente completa para el shock de la vision

el horizonte de espirales en que te encuentras....brilla a lo lejos
con el reflejo de mis ojos..

dame un momento, que me acomodo...
dame un momento, que me preparo...
dame un momento, ...que alla voy

cuantas vidas me esperan, alla a lo lejos...horizonte de espirales??..

what a wonderful weekend, actually 2 weeks...childhood friend Alberto & wife arrived from Galicia, Spain to pay a visit....last time I saw them was 2001.
what a lovely pair...I'll post the photos once they send them...I didn't take any!!!....but, it was an eventful weekend...indeed...my first time perfoming at the "Portsmouth Blues Festival"...what a blast...I perfomed with James Cohen, too short of a set if you ask me...but hey, it was fun.
I'm supposed to go up to Ottawa again to finish the album and to play some gigs and they will be coming down with me to do some dates in NH as well.
so this has been a fun trip so far.
