A Funny Thing Happened in Primo Tapia Tonight
I drove in to Primo Tapia to Tacos Mejores and I had to park way down the highway because there were so many semis pulled up on the side of the road.
I just wanted some food to go, but the very elderly guitar player playing in the inside pulled me up short, because his music was so beautiful.
I stepped inside to give him a tip and when I did, the other customers there clapped, stood and cheered.
Baja, always an experience.

It Was One of Those Heart-Wreaching Songs
And I honestly cannot remember the name of it.
It wasn't La Paloma. It wasn't the one about the mujer with the green eyes.
If I can somehow resurrect the name of the song in my memory, I will get back to you.

Probably "Ojitos verdes" a very popular Ranchers song:
Aquellos ojitos verdes con qui�n se andar�n paseando?
Ojal� que me recuerden aunque sea de vez en cuando.
Dicen que cuando suspiran aquellos ojitos verdes
me suspiran con el alma porque todav�a me quieren.
Ay, ay, ay, ay! D�nde andar�n?
esos ojitos que me hicieron suspirar.
Ay, ay, ay, ay! D�nde estar�n?
esos ojitos que no los puedo olvidar.
Cuando voy por �sos campos y me fijo en los laureles
Parece que estoy mirando aquellos ojitos verdes.
Vuela, vuela, pajarito pero si a mi vida vuelves
ha de ser con dos ojitos pero tienen que ser verdes.
Ay, ay, ay, ay! D�nde andar�n?...

Hey Woody
Yes, he was at the end of his music set - I would never interrupt something so magical.
Sorry if I screwed the story narrative; I was trying to record a vivid memory right away.
The audience was applauding him, not me.
By the time my to-go order was ready the restaurant was empty - all of the audience of maybe twenty-five men were gone and all the semis were gone,
also.

You did fine, Toots. Feel good for how you gave it to us. I appreciate it.
