We are planning to do more music programs to coincide with the World Music Festival coming up in September. Hope you can listen.<BR/><BR/>JeanHere On Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598550723199590754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29819996.post-6558917551698807802008-06-20T10:55:00.000-07:002008-06-20T10:55:00.000-07:00Jean, I am always enchanted with he topics you cho...Jean, <BR/>I am always enchanted with he topics you choose and the people you interview. You have the touch of humanist and soul person. Today, in the midst of being rather ill, I heard you interview the remarkable Lila Downs. She is a jewel that sparkles rays of heritage, anthropology, and sends her glowing voice to us expressing a range of emotion and story-telling, it is difficult for me to imagine anyone elso doing it better. She is a treasure! I will purchase her albums, and I hope she returns to Madison many times. I speak Spanish--- and had to learn it after the death of my father so I wouldn't lose his 'spirit', so I understand her 'journey' of return to the richness of Mixteca and her wish to celebrate the treasures of all the other languages in Mexico. As she does this, she carries us along with her on a worthwhile adventure of love, mystery, and revelation. I could have listened to the two of you go on for three hours instead of just your limited program. Next time you have her on your show, I will be healthier and will call in. I wanted to share a hearty congratulations to her for bringing alive the wonderful music, the 'soul-singing' of Mexico. My dad was from Argentina, so the tango was in his blood. Frida is one of my great heroines. You did it all for me today, Jean. Thank you! --Marcia Riquelme, DeForest,wi 608-842-0422Madisonoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16376042693979437930noreply@blogger.com
