And my next book will be by Edith Wharton, thanks to you, and you. A nice and very appealing way to discover an author |

They are incredible live.
Just saw them last Saturday night, for maybe the 15th or 16th time. One of my all time favorite American bands. A few years ago I saw them in September, October, and November, a different city for each show and each show was different from the one before. Amazing. |

Thank you for playing Malaque just when I need to hear it.
And then following up with Buena Vista Social Club.
Beautiful.

Most of the best artists eventually lose their ability to innovate and start repeating themselves. Not the Wolves. their other albums are great. but these albums are all fantastic. Kiko should be on everyone's Desert Island Disk list. oh, and did i mention that I like Los Lobos a lot?
I am SO thrilled that someone finally acknowledged "How Will The Wolf Survive"! The more I listen to the music of Los Lobos, the more I appreciate their roots, and the music they provide. I came from a very bigoted household, so it's taken some time to unlearn a lot of the hatred and prejudice. Los Lobos is SO far through that stupid wall - I can't believe I don't have all their music! (But I will have, when I can afford it.) I like Los Lobos a lot, too...  |
