    A tiny light

    Its been dark lately So I went outside and took a little walk to clear my head. Its funny how such a simple thing for so short a time can put things in perspective. Bad times are not forever and good times never last. The Camino seems a long time and far away now. So I looked up..and saw the...

    Fernando Sor’s Op.9, “Variations on a Theme of Mozart” - Spanish Music - Selection No 12

    The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. William Shakespeare He lead an interesting life did...

    Spanish Music - Selection No 10

    Well.....Today's selection is not all about music. But the positive reaction to Paola Hermosin last week encouraged me to submit this utube video of her trip to Cordoba.

    Virtual Camino? Kind of...

    While I have never been to Portugal not even as a tourist I'm simply in love with fado and its performers even when the songs are a little bit more pop-ish.

It won't surprise many that local, community, Arts Centres are under the cosh. This is not a funding request. I just thought...

    Spanish Camino Music – Selection No. 7

    When one sees a Utube video that has had over 18 million views, one would think that alone would deem it essential viewing. When the video in question is a "Classical"guitar performance, and by someone to me unknown, that absolutely guarantees I'll be hitting the GO button. One can debate as to...
