altie- "Abuelita" is about a child taken from its peasant parents and raised by a city family, but it's told as the monologue of the child's natural grandmother, who has come to the city looking for her. As she waits, she rehearses her meager story, little more than the child's parents' names, and although all we learn of Soledad and Juan Luis' fates is "they may be gone, but...", every other word is saturated with her grief, and when the song ends with "I will wait / By the fountain in the square, / You can find me there", even though she knows the child is unaware of her existence, and so will never search, it finally occurs to me to wonder whether the grandmother's real plan is to die amidst a crowd that she can imagine contains the last remnant of what she's lost. it is sung and written by richard shindell CD - 'somewhere near paterson' rhoze

19tears- who's the singer...CD Title? joser says it better. <g> during my trip to belize i felt a great love and at the same time sadness... love... both for a part of the planet and a part of my human family, that i've never gotten to visit before. and sorrow... that the human family is so wrongly separated by so many false barriers (borders, separatist ideologies and poliphuckingticians). you are lucky to have something in your life that dissolves all those false barriers for you... (Altair18) by the time you get back you will be changed forever. you set this inevitable event in motion... when you took altair18 into your life. good move dude... take good notes and share them. -polvo
