Finally, this morning I was able to attend the presentation of this book in Madrid (the first presentation, on Nov. 3, took place in Barcelona). Montserrat García-Albea´s speech on Tete was clearly the highlight. From a few remembrances and anecdotes, Tete´s widow composed a very beautiful and moving (but never slushy) portrait of Tete as a person. He WAS a man of a kind! BTW: the book will also be presented in Guadalajara (México), in the Feria del Libro. And, most probably, it will also be translated into braille [remember Tete was blind]

Highlights of this show were broadcast as a one-hour Bell Telephone TV special. Guess that´s what is on that DVD. I will check Lord discography when I get home.

Here´s the cover:

Tomorrow in the morning (11:30 am) the book will be presented in Madrid (the Nov. 3 event took place in Barcelona). What a good hour to present the book to us, the working class! Blame it on the SGAE/Fundación Autor guys, publishers of the book.

No problem, amigo mío (or meu amic, if you prefer it in Catalan)

I´m afraid there´s somebody that hasn´t read my first post.... And yes, start learning Spanish... you may need it!

Just in case any of you need a few appartments there... http://www.andorran-properties.com/ang/and...roperty_ang.asp Don´t forget to put this sign on the main entrance: <<Andorran spoken>> Oh, that particular Spanish sense of humor...

Right now listening to "The Ground". A very nice disc.

Tom Lord´s discography on CD-Rom lists it, with similar information, but only mentions the Bellaphon release.

Nobody?
