Tonight, I recorded the song, “Guantanamera,” in honor of José Martí, Cuban’s most well-known freedom fighter. The song file links to another file that I set up last year that provides more information and a glimpse of a Crazy Quilt tribute block that I made.

My 40th high school reunion is this year. I studied four years of high school Spanish, and then studied advanced literature courses during four years of Spanish at the collegiate level, both in the U.S. and Spain. I also took a graduate level course in Spanish History, and a summer history course in Latin American History, both fascinating subjects. Within my course of study, I learned about the art and architecture of Spain, which I experienced first hand.
From time to time, I pick up the guitar, and tonight was one of those nights.
