about
I met Marghreta Cordero in New York City in 1988, just before I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was from there and moved back a couple of years later, and we became neighbors. We began singing old folk tunes in Spanish and soon started writing our own songs, recording at home on an ancient 4-track reel-to-reel deck.
In 1992/93 we decided to re-record these songs in a real studio as a demo, to see if there was any interest in a whole album. There wasn't. But we still like these songs, and so do some other people, so we share them now with you.
This was pretty much my final attempt at doing anything like a "band." We only played live twice. I went back to doing my experimental thing and Marghreta became the fabulous Latin diva Nacha Mendez.

I see you each morning
your wings spread, and serious
your eyes black as shoes
I wonder each morning
if ever you found, that light
in the background
hold still now, that's it
can't you smile just a bit?
I wonder each morning
if ever you smiled
if ever you flew
away - Track Name: My Christina

my Christina takes me down
deep into the sea
in a whirlpool spinning 'round
fishes at my feet
feel her breath inside my head
all the bells ring at once
slowly, so slowly
we are rising
washed upon a distant shore
face down in the sand
spit me out a pearl tonight
lost and found again
smell the moonlight on the breeze
all the world's tears flow
into the sea
slowly, so slowly
we are rising - Track Name: Canción de Cuna
-
duerme te hija de mi alma
duerme te un poco
porque si no te duermes
apapare el foco
a ra ru, ru, ru, ru
duerme te hijo de mi vida
porque la sombra pasa
dicen que se llevar los niños
si no se duermen
a ra ru, ru, ru, ru - Track Name: Greetings from La Puebla
-
with a needle
and a candle
a hundred tiny holes
through a photograph of you
and I hold it
up to the candle
at night
your face, you look like the moon
your face is smiling
stars surround you
above and below
looks like you're waving to me
I don't know if you're saying
hello
goodbye - Track Name: Waltz
-
mention the weather
when you describe the town
how near it lays to where you were born
how flat the sky
covers all sleeping things
as dreamers we often see glory
remember the light
that shines beneath doorways
how the birds hang motionless
beating their wings
and the words that are offered
repeated, suspended
between the new man,
the new woman
and all living things
