It could be a Chapman Stick. I have worked with several bands that used them.

Thanks, my friend. You're creeping me out a bit, though. I used to drive a maroon Toyota Camry, which used to go round corners scraping its sills on the road. Plus, my dad was born in October 1908 .... My granddaughter was born on what would have been his 100th birthday.

I completely agree. Saw them In Puerto Vallerta about 15 years ago and have seem them three or 4 times since and they're simply fantastic.
In fact, I have this CD signed by them from seeing them in PV.
Willie & Lobo in concert: highly recommended !

Amazingly beautiful. RP must have an amazing music library numbering the millions.
Que bueno esta la canción!
For some reason had my pea-sized brain harking back to Cat Steven's Lady D'Arbanville (1970 - boy have I gotten old!)
Me likee!
I'll have to be on the lookout for this group... never heard of them before but this piece puts them on the map for me.

These guys are the best! Had front row seats to see them at the Palms Playhouse in Winters, CA, a tiny, old-fashioned opera house. We enjoyed it so much that a year later we took the kids down to Puerto Vallarta this past December to catch their New Year's Eve show at the River Cafe. Again, outstanding! I'd have to say "Caliente" is my favorite CD of theirs, though we own them all.

There's a spaghetti western in here somewhere.
Maybe 1993-94-time is elastic in memory- The Gypsy Kings- CD stuck in the deck in my favorite cafe in Heidelberg Germany- actually boycotted the place for months.

Oh no!
Is there any such thing as Ricardo Montalban?
Even if not, you gotta admit- that sounded really cool when he said it.

I'm sorry, this guitar and fiddle are more than sophisticated enough for me.

I really like this:) I rented El Mariachi this week...I think I need to go watch it now:)
"Mmmmmmmm............Salt Ice Cream!..................Aurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
I love being transported to faraway lands--like a mini-vacation.

I remember hearing this for the first time in Puerto Vallarta watching the Spanish galleon sailing in front of the Malicon at sunset. Pure bliss.

Me too. Had it on vinyl. Need to replace it with the CD if it's available....
I'm a fool for gypsy music- now how about Al Dimeola's "Mediterranean Sundance?"
Why do I have the urge to go fight a bull?
I LOVE Willie and Lobo. :)
The one CD I had of theirs was Puerto Valliarta Squeeze...(based supposedly on the book by that name...the book sucked but the CD rocked.)
This is not one of my favorites of theirs but it's definatly good. :)

Hey, me too. Except that those you mention were Victorian poets. FWIW.
Cool track.

No you aren't. I was seeing a black and white animation of a bull fighting sequence with a little red blood thrown in for drama at the appropriate times. But now that you mention "Sonnets from the Portuguese" that does seem to fit quite well. And is rather less disturbing.
Brilliant. Thanks.
