Lots of J. Buffett's stuff....'Boat Drinks', for one...."I got to go where it's warm!"
BV Social Club, for sure to get the juices flowing!
Almost any 'upbeat' Latin sound...just can't sit still when those sounds start surrounding one's space!
...and of course, the sound a Mexican Beer makes as you crack open the bottle...takes me right back to a beach in Baja California...I'm a sucker for
those great Corona Ads they play for us up here in the States...even though I'd rather pop open a nice, icy Pacifico - like no other!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

One of my Baja buddies had a Strunz & Farah tape that he brought along on every single Baja trip. And played. Over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... And that was just the first day. Finally on Sept. 13 2001 we were at Diaz's in Bahia de Los Angeles and thanks to some intense inebriation therapy,
I was able to send the tape south with a Dutch couple driving to La Paz. My buddy agreed to it, but did not know what he agreed to until well into
the trip home the next day.
It's a love/hate thing now. I hate Strunz & Farah but I love the memories it brings back.

I have a number of staple Baja CDs all depending on the mood I'm in or where I'm travelling to. Some of it loud and fast (Offspring, etc.) for the
washboard or others relaxing and a bit introspective (Miles Davis) while others (Chris Isaak) for chilling at the beach. But, the music that brings
Baja home the most is the blues. One of my favorite things to do in Baja is sit around a camp fire with a Ballena or two and listen to the blues.
Life just seems to come together and make sense. Thus, after a few beers at home, all it takes is a Robert Cray song to come along and set me on my
way.

I am influenced by music in all aspects of my life so it's everywhere for me. Somehow the most beautiful artistic creation, no matter how moving,
isn?t colored until it?s accompanied with music.
Some of us will name a particular song to answer your question. That tune will carry us back to Mexico because of a specific moment in time. I did
it that way when we were living at Las Cuevitas with our young boys. The Irish flautist, John Galway, had a song that was popular back then,
mid-'80's, called "Piper, Piper, Sing Your Song" I think. Our boys loved it and they would strut their stuff in the stones of the beach in time with
the music, played nightly.
We listen to it still from time to time, the 4 of us, and reflect back over the summer we had there.
And there are two collections that come to mind, privately collected and money was not involved, that a number of the old Amigos board, now
reconstructed by Doug and nomad, folks received from Brandi (and Etta and Mike) and Suzanne (and Pete and children). The former was a great
collection of songs about Mexico-related music; the latter was build for a Fourth of July gathering at Geckos and starred Lee Greenwood. Aside from
the music, not to abandon it at all, we should focus of putting these open-to-all gatherings back on the map.
Personally, I find myself reliving my times along the peninsular shores and deserts daily. Here, in Alta California, caused by my love for and
attachment to Baja California, I often listen to romantic movie soundtracks that carry a common theme throughout the entire album. For example,
soundtracks from "Out of Africa," "Cider House Rules," "Legends of the Fall," "Somewhere in Time," "Six Days, Seven Nights," "The Power of One," etc.
and the list goes on. In a sense these movie compositions are spin-offs from classical music in that the theme is somewhat twisted and varied but
remains intact throughout the life of the entire work. Since I buy, organize, take and listen to this music in Baja frequently, it takes me back when
I'm not there. Sitting on a quiet shore after everyone else is sleeping, watching moon slip over calm water and hearing the distant splash of a
diving bird over romantic music? It doesn?t get any better. Music takes me there and rarifies the moment.

all great selections-have most of 'em.
years ago, a fellow nomad and i were on a search for something "special".it was one of those hot, sweltering, pink asthma-nefrin afternnons.deep into
a bottle of cazadores(i think)we were flyn' along out on the plano.petal to the metal with the grateful dead blaring-...."fire, fire on the
mountain..." never found what we were looking for but somehow ended up with two hefty sized snappers that upon our return to camp, were thrown
dierctly onto the fire...( turned out good!)anyway, there is a lot more to the story, but an adventure that will always be remembered and never
repeated.anyway, that song really gets my spirit going....
