Theme Thursday--Rhythm

Rhythm Santa Fe style--summer time in the Plaza, where locals and tourists gather to listen to great music and dance the night away. Blues, zydeco, country, alternative and new world, we have heard it all there. After the music in the Plaza ends, there is always a live band playing on the balcony at the Ore House--The HooDoos are a favorite of ours.
 
 
One luscious night, Mr. Jackson froze as we walked across the Plaza, the chords of Samba Pa Ti floating through the air. I watched as three, count 'em, other men stopped and looked at their companions with this faraway look in their eyes. We all samba'd into the Ore House and shared a beer. Mr. Jackson and I walked down the aisle to this tune.
That's the beauty of Santa Fe-everyone dances to their own tune and it is just fine.

Samba Pa Ti is a beautiful song and I would have stopped and listened to it myself. I love Santana's version of it. Hope everything is well with you....

I don't know that song, even after listening. :| But it is nice, and it's great to be outside in a city, walking with people, listening to music. That's a special kind of excitement.

Here in Michigan these days are coming to an end. I love September, but it's bittersweet.

ruth--that's beauty and the sadness of seasons--we look forward to the beauty of the fall but yearn for the aprting summer and its long lazy days. c
