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 quién se andarán paseando?
Ojalá que me recuerden aunque sea de vez en cuando.
Dicen que cuando suspiran aquellos ojitos verdes
me suspiran con el alma porque todavía me quieren.
Ay, ay, ay, ay! Dónde andarán?
esos ojitos que me hicieron suspirar.
Ay, ay, ay, ay! Dónde estarán?
esos ojitos que no los puedo olvidar.
Cuando voy por ésos 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! Dónde andarán?...

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.
