OUR DAILY OLDIES: I ALWAYS TRY TO BRING YOU THE BEST OLDIES BUT I MUST CONFESS THEY ARE THE BEST OLDIES FOR ME, FROM MY COLLECTION, THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT MAY BE THE BEST MUSIC FOR YOU. I ALSO LIKE TO SHARE OLDIES THAT WERE VERY POPULAR AROUND THE WORLD BUT UNKNOWN IN THE U.S.A. TIMES HAVE BEEN CHANGING SINCE THE BRITISH INVASION OF THE 1960s, BUT THE TENDENCY HAS BEEN THAT MUSIC IN LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH IS SIMPLY NOT PLAYED IN U.S. RADIO. BANDS LIKE 'SANTANA' HAVE BROKEN THAT TRADITION. RITCHIE VALEN DID THE IMPOSSIBLE BY MAKING 'LA BAMBA' (A MEXICAN FOLK SONG) INTO A ROCK AND ROLL HIT IN SPANISH. IN THE 70s, MOCEDADES, FROM SPAIN, HAD A HIT WITH 'ERES TU' AND PERFORMERS FROM AFRICA, LIKE MIRIAM MAKEBA, OSIBIS AND MANU DIBANGO, HAD RADIO HITS IN AFRICAN LANGUAGES. I HAVE MANY GREAT SONG AND VERSIONS OF AMERICAN SONGS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES BUT I BROUGHT THEM ON TAPES AND THEY NEED A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE THEM INTO Mp4 TO SHARE IN VIDEO FORMAT. I WISH I HAD TIME TO WORK MORE WITH MUSIC BUT POLITICS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS CONSUME MOST OF MY TIME. SOME TIMES I WORK LONG HOURS, WELL INTO THE EVENING TO HAVE GOOD MATERIAL READY FOR THE NEXT DAY AND MUSIC IS THE LAST PRIORITY. FOR THE TIME BEING, ENJOY 'EVERYBODY PLAYS THE FOOL' BY THE MAIN INGREDIENTS.
