I’m a huge fan. He broke all the rules. His music, his dancing, that beat, he put it all out there. I’m going to miss having him on the planet.

More videos here. The boys were watching the news with me and we saw a clip of a really old Jackson 5 tune with a very young Diana Ross. I said, “That’s Diana Ross from the Supremes!”

Soy Tico

var addthis_pub = “Saratica”;

Fellow blogger buddy Julie posted this a few months ago and I fell in love with the song. She did a translation and I stole borrowed it so I could have the lyrics and the Youtube clip all in one place. It’s fun to listen to while you read the blog… at least, that’s what I do!

Music in Costa Rica

In our frenzy of packing to move here, we sold and gave away most of our CD/DVDs, bringing only the essentials, thinking we could replace what we wanted once we were here. Bringing them was just too much: we had hundreds! Sorting through them would have taken too long – we only had 30 days to pack. And they are heavy to move! That would have required a heavy suitcase over our limit of 16 bags or the shipping of a very heavy box. Add to that the very likely event of paying duty on them, no . . . → Read More About Music in Costa Rica
