'MARIA, MARIA', Falling in Love in East L.A. With GUITAR By CARLOS SANTANA

Why, what's this?

SANTANA/ see photo credit below

Rehearsing 'SMOOTH' with Carlos Santana today with my BARTLETT brought back lovely memories of another time with my first hubby ERNESTO A. BARELA.

I often feel 'Hispanic'....was for 23 years, you know.... 1971 to 1995.

Ernie's and my children are all grown up and married now. The holidays are coming up....time I remember family, AND it's near the anniversary of Ernie's death....October 30, 2011..

I first wrote this post in 2013. Jan

'MARIA, MARIA' Falling In Love In East L.A. With Guitar By CARLOS SANTANA

 by MojoBaer cc

CARLOS SANTANA and HERE is an amazing guitarist to me [Jan]...he makes that guitar sing just every time I've heard him play, since the '60's, I guess...so, today was absolutely no different...EXCELLENCE in music, that's all...WOW. AND, how come with some music and artists..lotsa old memories just come flooding back? Well, they did.

I'm not sure when I first heard him [Carlos Santana]...at WOODSTOCK in '69? Perhaps...I do remember, that in 1971 with my marriage... to ERNESTO AGUSTIN BARELA-LOVATO, we both loved CARLOS SANTANA, 'Ernie' was always collecting his recordings, and that music was a big part of our lives, we took it everywhere with us...Santana being one of our hispanic 'brothers' and all, and he became one of our favorite musicians. That maybe why I feel connected to him. Santana seems just like family to me.

Some of Santana's tunes were in Spanish and other's in English...or a combination of both...cool...kinda like our new Barela-Rose, family in 1971... the mixing Ernie's Hispanic culture, with the northern Anglo-American ideas of my family. I loved the 'new' that was created [Span-glish]....ALL races combining and living together as one. 'Gracias  Ernesto y Carlos'. Juana Rosa

My or our daughter's story about Ernie's death from AGENT ORANGE HERE with music from the Vietnam War. Ernie was in VIETNAM in 1967 and 1969, that's where he was exposed to Agent Orange.

AND, today...my wonderful hubby BARTLETT ON BASS enjoys these same songs and performs Carlos Santana tunes ALL the time, they're requested over and over at gigs...very popular today, just like 30-40 years ago.

I'm posting a tune that we [Ernie, Steve and me Jan-Juana] all would enjoy...from Thanousay Khamphoune, 'MARIA, MARIA' with lyrics. This is what the page says:Uploaded on Apr 25, 2009

the lyrics of the coolest song ever played by carlos santana.". More HERE about this grammy award winning  song.

SASS Rehearsing, Cool Stuff....Of Course....AND Strange Pleasure

BARTLETT by Mary Jo Triholm

Wednesdays are special....It's SASSs rehearsal night. AND, last night was amazing, of course, with SASS pulling out of their BLUZZZ Bag some very cool new tunes. They're getting ready for the Saturday, October 24th's gig at DAWSON's in Tacoma.....5443 South Tacoma Way is the exact address

SHELLY ELY's voice just gives me goose bumps AND, I was covered last night with bumps.... guitarist/singer song writer of the group, STEVE MERRIAM, had found a new duet for SHELL and himself.... very BLUZZZY  and cool.

Now, this whole band sings....and so, WOW...they work out harmonies and evrything at rehearsals.....I'm always there for every note...lucky me.

ANDRE THOMAS/drums and my hubby STEVE BARTLETT on bass and vocals are the rest of this group. See you the 24th.

What else is happening in BARTLETTs music world? JOE PLEMMONS/guitar/vocals and leader of the band STRANGE PLEASURE called yesterday....needs a bassman for the next two Friday nights.....O.K....cool...'Strange Pleasure' will be in Puyallup the next 2 [two] Fridays with BARTLETT ON BASS, filling in for the regular bassman. It's great to see Plemmons....I will post the where and time here...O.K? UPDATE: R & R Lounge...7824 River Road, Puyallup, WA....8pm.
What else? Well, Steve's been jamming with KEVIN CHRISTENSEN/drums and his friends on Monday nights. It's fun....jazz, blues, soul, funk, rock, pokka....I'm joking, no one ever has requested a pokka ... We've known Kevin forever it seems. We'll see what happens and I'll let everyone know, when I do. Kevin has always been a one of a kind mystery to me. I like him. Reminds me of 'Howdy Doody' who I just loved as a kid. Yeah, that's Kevy..... a red headed, mysterious, freckled faced, funny, very talented, drumming old friend, but, I never know what's gonna happen. Kinda exciting....huh? Jan
