Pachi y Pablo

Dear Friends,

After many hours of hard work and ( a major migraine by the end of the day)
I have created two new web pages dedicated to my old Chilean musical duo "Pachi y Pablo"
I wanted to leave something behind in cyber space of my singing years.
We only recorded one little 45 with two songs.
One of them "Que Maravilla" ( How Marvelous) hit the first place on Chilean musical rankings, staying for 16 weeks as a number two.

( it gave me a gold record)
We were very young, Pablo was 21 and I was 20, he was in the

Music school and I was in the Drama school, both at the University of Chile.
The Chilean public loved our fresh clean cut looks, they enjoyed that we sang in many languages ( Pablo was the son of the Chilean Ambassador to France, and I was the daughter of the Air Force Attachee to the Chilean Embassy in Rome) so he had perfect French accent and I did great in Italian songs
We had plenty in common, were very good friends, and pretended on stage to have a crush on each other..lol
the fans loved it.
And so for two wonderful years we were the toast of the town, with fan club and all.
Looking back now, we were very lucky to be young and talented at the right time and in the right place.
Here are the links to the new blogs, please leave me comments, so I know what boo boos to correct if any.

I have added a video

Hello my friends,

I have added a video from an Argentinean comedy group called "Les Luthiers"
They have been around for 30 years or so. South Americans love them, very formal in their tuxedos, with funny home made instruments, they have incredible talent, their voices and music is great. But what they sing about is the fun part.
I hope you enjoy them, there is a English translations to go along with it.
Please scroll down my blog page.

A wonderful day with my grandson Zachary

Hello everyone,

Today was wonderful, I spent it with my grandson Zachary who is 3

He arrived early, brought in by his other grandma Kai, as soon as he was here he asked me to go to the kitchen and said "Grandma Pachi please make me a big glass of " Milo with warm milk" (I brought Milo from Chile, a kind of chocolate malt) and we climbed in my bed to play with my laptop. I uploaded a bunch of toddler's games and he remained entertained for a long time painting and seeing baby animals.

We got in my car and went to the store " Dollar Tree" and we bought a pile of toys and things for Christmas.

Later we went to the airport and we had lunch in the terrace of the restaurant that faces the runway, since whenever he comes for a visit (he lives in Nevada near Lake Tahoe,) he loves to watch the airplanes take off and land, when one comes for a landing he counts from 5 down and when the airplane touches the ground he yells " touchdown! " he makes me smile, I am sure he will be a pilot some day.

He had french fries with ketchup and an orange juice and I had a bowl of fresh fruit, (of course he took all my grapes)

On the way home we saw smoke over one of hills and like a good fireman's son he is, he asked me to "go and investigate" so we started off to watch and there was a fire on the hill, luckily there was no wind and the firemen already were extinguishing it, airplanes and helicopters were throwing water.

Hopefully they extinguish it completely, because winds are expected tonight and it would be horrible if houses burn like in Malibu last month.

Later we returned home and Dimitri got from school and they sat together to play videos in the living room. It melts my heart to see them side by side happily, the uncle and the nephew.

Soon Kai came to pick him up and he went away; "promising to return tomorrow and to spend the night with me ".

We went with Dimitri to the store " Vons" to buy buffalo wings and roasted potatoes and

we took them to the school, where I fed 45 soccer players!

All of the moms take turns, feeding once a week the high school soccer team.

We just arrive home and I am in my bed, it is cold, (the weather guy says that will freeze tonight, hopefully my plants will survive)

Dimitri is down stairs doing his homework and everything is peaceful.

thank you, thank you, thank you universe…

Hello everyone,

Joe Brown was a good friend of George Harrison ( my favorite beatle)
All of George's friends got together in London and did the
"Concert for George" after everyone had sang, Joe took his ukelele
( that used to played often with George) and he sang a sweet song.
George's son Danny was behind him in white, next to Eric Clapton, also
Olivia his widow, Paul, Ringo, Tom Petty ,Ravi Shankar, his daughter and many others.
While Joe was singing thousands of rose petals fell from the ceiling..
I cried..
So here I am sharing it with all of you.
"I'll see you in my dreams"
Lonely days are gone, twilight sings a song, of the happiness that used to be
soon my eyes will close, soon I 'll find repose and in dreams, you are always near to me
I'll see you in my dreams, hold you in my dreams, someone took you right out of my arms still, I feel the thrill of your charms
lips that once were mine, tender eyes that shine, they will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams, they will light my lonely way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams.
