To celebrate 2021, hoping it will be a better year for all the performing arts artists, here is a new song very dear to my heart. I recorded it a long time ago but I still love it as if I did it yesterday. It is a very ancient Spanish legend which exists in various traditions too, with various differences and adaptations. Here, a man is leaving for a trip and he says to his wife," take that money you'll need it to take care of the household." His mother overhears the conversation and is so angry at his departure that she curses him, praying that his boat will sink. But then she sits by the window and waits. One day she sees a boat arriving and she runs, asking to the captain. "Have you seen my son?". He responds, "yes I saw him, liying on the ground with 3 holes in his skull". The mother is desperate, but then he tells her. "Stop crying, it is me". All is well that ends well this time.... but what a journey! Hoping you'll like it Helene
