The Mysterious West
Thanks again to KHYI, Plano, Texas, for great poetry. In tonight’s KHYI playlist…
From Spike and Jamie:
WAIT A WHILE AND YOU’LL GROW OLDER;
NEVER MIND WHAT THE OLD FOLKS SAY.
JUST KEEP AN ANGEL ON YOUR SHOULDER;
AND NEVER THROW YOUR DREAMS AWAY
FOR THEY MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE ONE DAY.
SONG IS JUST A BOX OF VISIONS;
YOU CAN UNLOCK IT WITH A KEY–
A MESSAGE ROLLED UP INSIDE A BOTTLE
AND DROPPED INTO THE SALTY SEA.
SONG IS JUST A BOX OF VISIONS,
A JAR OF HARPS AND GYPSY’S EARS,
A LABYRINTH OF WILD ROSES,
A JOURNEY THROUGH A HOUSE OF MIRRORS.
WAIT A WHILE AND YOU’LL GROW STRONGER;
NEVER MIND WHAT THE SAD FOLKS SAY.
From Tish Hinojosa:
“It’s the way of life in the real west…”
A search for information on the singer of “Real West” led to a site in Japan that mentions Hinojosa, among many other makers of recommended music:
From Japan–
“an example of understand beyond language is still possible”
Such an example is one of the themes in a movie I admire greatly….
Ghost Dog – The Way of the Samurai.
The hero’s understanding of what his friend says, even though he does not know the friend’s language, is a recurring theme in this film.
As for me… “No entiendo. Sigo trabajando.”
