its origins in Africa and
was brought to Cuba, and
other Caribbean islands by

Regardless of how it is
articulated, I am a firm
believer that music and food do
go together just like a pepper
pot and Hot, Hot, Hot. From the

MUSIC ON CONGA LINE
Just released "My Moonshine
Bro"
A funny and up-tempo good
country number with good
guitar playing.
Hear Them Now A
few
simple, without the bells
and whistles down home,
around the kitchen table
sing along tunes with a good
pianist, and crooner exactly
for these semi-home bound
days. I grew up listening to
soft and soothing melodies
and then I wrote some like
them later in life.
My intention
is to feature all
genres on this page just
like featuring the favorite
dishes of various countries
because music and food do go
together.
From a very early age, I
have discovered that one
cannot live without music of
some sort. From the age of
eight seeing the smile and
the happiness that came to
the faces of my grandmother
and some other family
members. My grandmother in
particular was always
singing and when she heard
her favorite song and the
joy it brought me to hear
her singing was indeed
nurturing. The music I heard
during that time were also
Strauss's family of waltzes
that were beamed in from the
BBC feed. I do not have
enough space on this page to
tell you how many songs I
heard her singing but I
remember them to this day.
These were not only popular
melodies from the fifties
but religious hymns were
always heard.

Alicia "My
Old Tamarind Tree" based on
my memory of a tree in my
village. It is a beautiful
piano accompanied ballad and
without the bells and
whistles.
