what is this place.......... a lonely hearts club site??!!
haven't seen that in the forums yet, but, hey, it's an idea. lots of single Nomads out there, including some unclaimed jewels as well as beaters.
I'm still a little unclear on the thread concept...are we sorting through the lovely locals/daughters/etc for a dating/spousal type for Fishbuck or
are we for sending the boy off on a booze&sex&music tour of South America???

How about starting a new forum called
"DEAR ROBERTA".

Hey, Ken...
That's great Colombian music. Sounds a lot like Venezuelan Criollo.
Vallenatos = Great music - real lively, must faster tempo, the "new wave" of younger accordionistas there blow Ramon Ayala away in
terms of speed and intricate melodies. Young kids actually attend Accordion academies from the age of 5 and 6 to perform professionally by the time
they are teenagers. This is shown in the Colombian indie film, "El Angel del Accordion." Silvestre Dangond and his Accordionista Juancho Esperiella
rip through the songs, and literally kick butt.
Leidys is a big fan of Vallentos, and if we take Fishbuck out each night, it'll be to this real intimate night spot in the section of town that looks
like Santa Monica, CA - where the DJ plays music videos and the dancefloor is always moving every night of the week. In terms of entertainment, you
can't beat Colombia.
Only kidding, but thanks for that link Ken! That's been my atttitude for a while now about American women. I've got a couple questions for
you...Check your U2U.
The Osprey is never too busy for a journalistic challenge. How about "Dear Osprey". I'm qualified. I'm old, been to the drugstore, read magazines, had
me some Coke Colas.
The challenge as I see it would be to be able to weed out those who are just out to pull the old Fishhawk's chain, those not sincere, not really
seeking answers but just playing with the board for their own amusement. Hey, what am I doing? Somebody else take it so I can do all those things.

I can't emphasize the help someone like Maria Jose has provided me over the past year. She likes to interview the women to see what their motives
are. My fiancee Leidys has talked to me extensively about this as well. Meeting her best friend across the street in her barrio, her friend jumped
up and down screaming, "God has finally sent you a MAN!" No questioning that. Having a good working knowledge of the language is so important as well. Otherwise, you're relying on professionals like Maria 98% of the time.

Muchissimas gracias, Ken;
I'll see if I can buy this album through Itunes. If not, I'll just purchase it on Amazon.
Great music!!
This is Silvestre's new song, "Calidad de vida (Quality of Life)" Leidys played it over the phone for me tonight, and explained its about couples
treating each other well, being attentive towards each other. It has that hand-clapping, foot stomping gypsy sound that makes Vallento music so fun
to listen to.
When visiting Santa Marta, Colombia 2 yrs. ago, an Austrailian woman was kidnapped and held for $32,000.00 ransom. The ransom was paid, and she was
immediately released and fled back to Austrailia. This abduction took place while I was visiting in that city, and the funny thing was that the woman
was held at a villa in Santa Marta overlooking the ocean the entire time of her abduction.
Speaking only Spanish with my US Passport back at the hotel, I blended in. But, upon a visit to the ATM in Santa Marta, there was a large group of
American tourists - nervous to speak to me.
Its best to stay informed and read as much information as possible in order to make an educated decision. I'm not trying to put a damper on things,
just raise some awareness.
