• Bluetoothing music from my phone

  This morning when I got in my new car, I turned up the volume on the radio to look for a station, and discovered that it was playing the music I have stored on my phone, in random order. So I listened to that instead of the radio. This is what is on my phone:

  Alicia Isabel Santacruz: A mis amigos (My wife! Her first album, produced in 1983)

  Alicia Isabel Santacruz: Migas de silencio (Her second album, from about 1988. The weird thing is that the title song is about her. The songwriter had a crush on her for years and finally realized nothing would come of it, so he wrote a goodbye song I translated here on my Xanga site a couple of years ago. He’s 30-some years older than she is.)

  Carlos Vives: miscellaneous songs (Great music from Colombia’s north coast, mostly modernized vallenato)

  Chris Rea: The Best of Chris Rea (Fool If You Think It’s Over is on this one, but the ones I really like are The Road To Hell, Auberge, and Going Fishing)

  Crosby, Stills & Nash: CSN

  Juan Fernando Fonseca: Ilusión (More lively modernized vallenato music)

  José Luis Perales: 30 grandes éxitos (If I could be a singer, I’d be this guy. Lovely ballads)

  Los Loney Boys: Los Lonely Boys (Texican rock and roll)

  The Monkees: The Birds, the Bees, and the Monkees (Mostly obscure songs and alternate takes)

  Coco Montoya: The Essential Coco Montoya (Bluesy rock)

  The Moody Blues: Seventh Sojourn (One of the great albums of all time. No flaws)

  Willie Nelson: Willie and Family Live
