Music Monday – “From Alto Cedro, I go towards Marcané/I get to Cueto, head for Mayarí”
Back from a week in Cuba and I have this song stuck in my head. (Funny tangent about how things come around – a good friend of mine was a big fan of the Buena Vista Social Club when they exploded in the mid-to-late 1990’s. But at the time, I was too much into pretty standard […]
Music Monday – “He told his niece/’It’s Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style,’/She said, ‘Christmas is like solstice/And we miss you and it’s been awhile'”
Happy Solstice! What a perfect song for today’s Music Monday post as this song compares and contrasts traditional Christian holiday celebrations with those who are not… “Christians and the Pagans” – Dar Williams

Music Monday – “Je ne tiens pas debout/Le ciel coule sur mes mains/Je ne tiens pas debout/Le ciel coule sur…” (I can’t stand/The sky flows on my hands/I can’t stand/The sky flows on”
This French group was on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah recently. I thought it was a fitting choice after the week we’ve just had (and I’m usually pretty excited for political discussions on Facebook but the amount of racism and fear and stupidity makes me miss the cat videos!) “Christine” – Christine and the […]
