Well here's another video for you with shots taken around Baja. While my friend Colin and I were camping up at Agua Caliente near Santiago we had the
pleasure of meeting Jeanette "Spaghetti" Grittani, a retired music teacher and folk singer from Canada. (for you folkies, the guitar she's playing was
actually played by Stan Rogers) She sang us the Baja Beach Bum's Lament and it struck such a chord (pun intended) that I asked if I could record her
singing it. I can't get the song out of my head. Jeanette is a really wonderful performer and a sweetheart of a person as well. If you ever get the
chance to see her perform please do. She's playing in San Jose tomorrow, June 21st, at La Reserva Bar from 5 to 6 pm, across from the Bancomer, then
at a bookstore, 13libros, from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. at Zaragoza St and Morelos.
I met Jeanette about 5-6 years ago and took this video of her singing "Unchain My Heart" while we were camped near Los Barriles. The quality of the
video isn't as good as yours but its a fun video to watch nevertheless.
That was wonderful!! Thanks! My new favorite song!
Any idea where she is playing say the 23rd or 24th or 25th? I will be in the neighborhood and would love to see her!
WOW
Great song. I cant believe that I have never heard her sing it. She is a regular at the Mercado Organico.
Nice to see Paul's smiling face too
Thanx
