Sunday Song – Carlos Santana

carlossantana[1]The first time I heard Carlos Santana on the radio he was playing ….. Maria Maria

Influenced by his Latin roots, Carlos Santana is an award winning Hall of Fame guitarist and rock bandleader. He’s been active in the blues and pop song culture for over 40 years.
Santana was born in Autlan de Novarra, Mexico on my birthday July 20, 1947.
His sound is powerfully unique. It transports the listener to intoxicatedcating heights.

Carlos Santana first recorded with his band Santana in 1969, combining electrified blues guitar and Afro-Cuban rhythms into a groovy, danceable blend.

Samba Pa Ti is a perfect example of his blues sound.

 

In 2014, he collaborated with Jaunes on a song called ‘La Flaca’.

Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez was born August 9, 1972. He’s better known as Juanes. It’s a contraction of his first and second name. He’s a Colombian musician who was a member of the Acoustic Rock band Ekhymosis and is, now, a solo artist. info©wikipedia

La Flaca Lyrics

En la vida conoci mujer igual a la flaca
Coral negro de La Habana
tremendisima mulata
Cien libras de piel y hueso
40 kilos de salsa
y en la cara los soles
que sin palabras hablan.
que sin palabras hablan.
La flaca duerme de dia
dice que asi el hambre engana
cuando cae la noche
baja a bailar a la tasca
Y bailar y bailar
y tomar y tomar
una cerveza tras otra
pero ella nunca engorda,
pero ella nunca engorda.
Por un beso de la flaca
daria lo que fuera
por un beso de ella
aunque solo uno fuera.

Sunday Song – A Mother’s Prayer

    For those of you who are blessed to have your Mother’s with you, may Mother’s Day be filled with immense joy….!!!!

For those of you have lost your Mother’s, may your day be filled with precious memories of her.

Happy Mother’s Day to All ….!!!!

A Mother’s Prayer (Lyrics)

Isadora & Nicole 540.web

Mothers are the place where LOVE
emerges from the earth
And happiness rings out like bells
in honor of our birth ….

Mothers are the sun that lights
for Life our inner sky
So we may know that we are LOVED
and need not question why …

Mothers are the moon that shines
upon our black despair

So even when we weep, we know
that someones always there …

Mother’s hold their children hands for a short
while but their Hearts Forever

Nobody knows of the work it takes
to keep a home together
Nobody knows of the steps it takes,
nobody knows but a Mother.

Mother’s are Loving
Mother’s are Patient
Mother’s are Giving
Mother’s are Beautiful

No matter which journey
or which of lifes seasons
Mother’s will always be there

If I had a single Flower
for every time I thought of you ….
I could walk in my Garden – Forever Thinking of You.

****** Phhotograph of me and my youngest daughter, Nicole, is part of a gift given to me by my middle daughter, Lori, in an album she created for me several years ago for Mother’s Day. A true treasure of memories on every page. Thank you, Lori Carrozza. ❤️

It stirred memories of the various dance styles I’ve experienced.

Sunday Song – Valentine

Valentine – Kina Grannis ( Official Music Video )

Heart 665 Red.webLike the Sun and the Moon

Like the sun
You heal me and,
help me to see.

Like the moon
You comfort me,
allow me to sleep.

Like the sun and the moon,
When you enter my room,
there is light, there is peace,
there is LOVE. ©Kelly Gohm

Sunday Song – Memories of Childhood

Memories of our childhood are like images on a wet canvas,

they merge until they lose all their shape,

often remaining only as feelings …. ©Brian Maynott
