Viernes con una Letra | What I'm Hearing in Jerez

Today everyone came to bulerías class.  

My dad, Kuma, and, of course, my exotic pets.  (That is what they've started calling themselves, the Spain Tour students. I much prefer it to Spain Tour students, and I can't tell you what fun it is to bring exotic pets along on a trip...)  

Anyway, below is a letra that Junquerita sang today.  Ani did as well.

Me entró sueño y me dormí 
me despertaron los gallos
cantando quiriquíquí

I got tired, 
and I went to sleep
I was awaken by the roosters singing cock-a-doodle-doo

So, yes, I am still here, in Jerez.  And I really want to tell you more about what's going on, so I'll do that soon.

But, if you're in Portland, that's good.  As a slice of Jerez will be there this weekend, for two days only, Adriana Maresma-Fois.  Workshops this Saturday and Sunday.  And....I can't remember if I mentioned to you that Ricardo is coming, November 16-25!!!  Stay tuned for more.

As always, comments are welcomed.
