Very interesting blog, and you tested my spanish! Your title was "It sings and you do not cry", correct? If not, I need to pay more attention in spanish!

It's from Cielito Lindo which this group played as an encore. (The Youtube isn't them.)
The chorus:
Ay, ay, ay, ay, Canta y no llores, Porque cantando se alegran, Cielito lindo, los corazones.
English:
Ay, ay, ay, ay, Sing and don't cry, Because singing makes us happy, Like the beautiful sky, our hearts. (okay that's my translation at least!)

The correct translation:
Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and don't cry because singing, beautiful love makes our hearts happy.
The literal translation of 'cielito lindo' means beautiful sky but people refer it like 'love' or 'sweetie'.

HOLA LAURIE.. Had a great time with my brother PHILIP and our SPHINX LAUREATE friends, post CARNIEGE HALL. i will briefly comment on the "CIELITO LINDO/MARACHI" event, and the community music efforts of some orgs. which you and fellow "V.comers, might not know about. First i would have loved to be at rehearsals for the MARACHI Concert. Just so happens that The Heritage Issue of HISPANIC Magazine[Sept. 2008] has a two page summary of his bio/accomplishments... 'very interesting', also hope in the near future to have communique with the "MARACHI Renaissance Man"! ? are the "REINAS DE MARACHI" still active[all Womens MARACHI org.]?
On early childhood development/music:there is the MOZART IN MIND.org, which started R&D at UC Irvine a few years ago[i had some early input, being fwd an initial draft;circa 1992. about the same time frame there was/is K.I.P.P;"Knowledge IS Power Program";circa NYC Tenaments, and IAL;International Accelerated Learning Institute, CA.? As you can infer, my involvement was years ago, but i still recieve invites/newsletters. Lastly, coming interview with MARK O'CONNER.. what can i say, initial contact/impression was back in late 1970's-early 80's, while i was @U of MIAMI, music school..!WOW! i believe he was w/UNGER and "Turtle Island". more or less in the same time frame/era was JACO, STEVE MORSE and the DIXIE DREGGS.. JACO had an untimely/tragic death.. STEVE with classmate'T'LAVITZ, and friends had a very successful run. i last saw/broke bread with STEVE,'T', and JERRY GOODMAN['FLOCK','MAHAVISHNU',DREGGS], out here in DETROIT, a couple of yrs. ago.
A question, of many i would ask of MARK, where are they now? esp:STEVE...? My CELTIC associate,'lassey', fiddler-extraordinaire, NATALIE McMASTERS couldn't say enough about their collaboration[O'CONNER], when i hung-out w/them in recent past. Sincerely Yours, jcm[brnxjzz]
