6.2.18 Yep. We're still standing. Still tending to a Safe Place. Come set a spell. We book no Trump here.
This evening we present for your heart and soul's solace the legendary Peruvian singer, Susana Baca, and her wonderful group performing a folk tale of a young Peruvian slave girl named "Maria Lando". One World.
Dawn breaks shattering like a statue
Like a statue of wings that scatter throughout the city
And noon sings like a bell made of water
A bell made of golden water that keeps us from loneliness
And the night lifts its tall goblet
Its tall, tall goblet, early moon over the sea
But for Maria there is no dawn
But for Maria there is no midday
But for Maria there is no moon
Lifting its red goblet over the waters
Maria has no time to lift her eyes
Maria to lift her eyes, broken by lack of sleep
Maria broken by lack of sleep from so much suffering
Maria from so much suffering, all she does is work
I'm not going to pretend to
be a Frank Zappa fan; too much pee-pee and ka-ka in the stew for my taste. But for
those who are, this is a peek at the freak on the Steve Allen show ib 1963. Ol' Steve apparently knew this could be the start of something big, 'cause he
gave Frankie Z plenty of time to screw around. In case you don't have the patience
for it all, they get this jalopy off the ground around the 12:00 minute mark.
