My CD collection grew from 2
to 4 over the weekend
I knew we would be covering hurricanes today and Thursday
and it seemed like some MUSIC with a TROPICAL FLAVOR might be
nice
My initial thought was to try to find some good STEEL DRUM
BAND MUSIC
I did manage to find a steel drum band CD but the music was
TOO SLOW
My backup plan was try to find some CUBAN MUSIC
THERE WAS A TIME (before satellites, radar, and computer
forecast
models)
when CUBAN METEOROLOGISTS were among THE WORLD'S BEST
at forecasting the approach and maybe even the intensity of a
hurricane
I remembered having seen a TV program a few years ago titled
the BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB
I was able to find a copy of a 1997 CD by the same name
(thank you Bookmans)
Do you want to know what I did all weekend?
I played this CD OVER and OVER AGAIN
It's been driving my two cats and maybe some of the
neighboors CRAZY
I haven't given up on the steel drum band idea by the way
The U. of A. has a good steel drum band
I need to see if they maybe they've recorded a CD
