I know you guys you have to use your bed or whatever right there on the street What amazes me is it's sunset and it never gets any darker. How do they do that? Okay, we're gonna start up with a song by Cuban duo called duo karma and this call this song is called ayuda me a mirar By so chill galan molinette it tells of someone seeing the sea for the first time Little piece of sea that consoles me little piece of sea kissing this the shore I never imagined this intensity of blues that blinds me. Help me to see Mirar No pude imaginar me que existiera Intensidad de azules que me siegan ayuda me a mirar Mencidad Ayúdame a mirar De tierra dentro soy de las maderas no pude imaginar me que existiera Intensidad de azules que me siegan ayuda me a mirar Ayúdame a mirar Ayúdame a mirar Ayúdame a mirar Gracias.

I don't know maybe my friend Naomi who lived with me for many years This evening and the lyrics the poetry is by Nicolás Guillen a famous Cuban poet It's called can see on and it says in such a Quiet way your smile gets under my skin as if it were the springtime and I was dying I'll settle the way in which you poured on my shirt all of April's flowers How spiritual that you should offer me a rose from your favorite rose garden? The kek a daman erase me adentra usted son riendo como si fuera la primavera y yo moriendo Y de que modo sutil me derramo en la camisa todas las flores de abril Quien le dijo que yo era risa siempre en un cañento como si fuera la primavera no soy tanto Quien cambió que espiritual que usted bebé en de una rosa es un rosa el principal De que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo como si fuera la primavera y yo muriendo Yo muriendo de que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo como si fuera la primavera y yo muriendo Yo muriendo de que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo como si fuera la primavera y yo muriendo Y de que modo sutil me derramo en la camisa todas las flores de abril Quien le dijo que yo era risa siempre en un cañento como si fuera la primavera no soy tanto Y cambió que espiritual que usted bebé en de una rosa es un rosa el principal De que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo como si fuera la primavera y yo muriendo Yo muriendo de que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo como si fuera la primavera y yo muriendo Yo muriendo de que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo como si fuera la primavera y yo muriendo Yo muriendo de que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo como si fuera la primavera y yo muriendo We'd like to do an original. This one is as of yet not recorded. Well, not on a CD. Not on a CD. It is recorded but that's a whole other matter. The song is inspired by a movie that Rosie and I watched several years ago that takes place on the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain And the song is Buen Camino, Good Path. It says good path, good detour, good stumble and good recovery, good injury, good remedy, good failure and good redemption. The road is your destiny. The road is yours, nothing more nor less. If you see me, greet me in passing and good redemption. Buen Camino, Buen Despion, Buen Tropiezo, Buen Recuperacion, Buen Herida, Buen Remedio, Buen Fracaso y Buen Redencio. Buen Conflicto, Buen Reconciliacion, Buen Descanso, La Lucha y Buen Aceptacion. Buen Camino, Buen Destino. Buen Tropiezo, Buen Recuperacion, Buen Herida, Buen Remedio, Buen Reconciliacion, Buen Redencio. Buen Reconciliacion, Buen Redencio. Thank you very much. This is a classic from Cuba by Osvaldo Farrés. It's called Quizás, Quizás, Quizás, made famous in this country as perhaps, perhaps, perhaps by Nat King Cole. If you know it, sing along. That goes for the studio audience. That goes for the live audience. That goes for the non-live audience. You know what I'm saying, right? Can't speak English today. A little bit. Quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás. Y así pasan los días, y yo desesperando, y tú, tú contestando, quizás, quizás, quizás. Estás perdiendo el tiempo pensando, pensando. Por lo que más tú quieras, hasta cuándo, hasta cuándo. Y así pasan los días, y yo desesperando, y tú, tú contestando, quizás, quizás, quizás. You wanted me to love me. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. A million times I ask you, I ask you, oh, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. If you can make your mind up, we'll never get started. Mind up, being parted, broken-hearted. So if you really love me, say yes. Say yes, but if you don't, dear, come fast, and please don't tell me. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás. If you can make your mind up, we'll never get started. And I don't want it broken-hearted. So if you really love me, say yes. Say yes, but if you don't, dear, come fast, and please don't tell me. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Quizás, quizás, quizás, quizás. Thank you very much. So from, wow, we shooed, we did a lot from Cuba, our Cuban influence, we're going to move to Venezuela. This is a song we've been doing for some time that we fell in love with years ago called Tonada de Luna Llena by Simón Díaz from Venezuela. Simón Díaz was sort of like the Pete Seeger of Venezuela. No. Pete Seeger is like the Simón Díaz of the United States. That's it. Simón was a rescuer of folkloric traditions, an amazing composer. He had a TV show for many years, and he really was sort of like the uncle to everyone in Venezuela, Venezuela at one point. And the Tonada is a style of music that's sung by the cowboys on the plains of Venezuela as they milk their cows. It calms them, and apparently they produce more milk that way. So this is a style, it's in that style, and it's a little bit surreal. It says, I saw a blue heron doing battle with the river. That's how my heart fell in love with yours. Go on homeboy and fetch me my rifle so I can kill this chicken hawk that's leaving me without any chickens. The moon is watching me. I don't know what it sees. My clothes are clean. I washed them yesterday. Full moon, full moon waning. That's how my heart fell in love with yours. I saw a blue heron doing battle with the river. That's how my heart fell in love with yours. That's how my heart fell in love with yours. Your heart fell in love with mine. Go on homeboy and fetch me my rifle so I can kill this chicken hawk that's leaving me without any chickens. The moon is watching me. I don't know what it sees. My clothes are clean. My clothes are clean. I saw a blue heron doing battle with the river. Full moon, full moon waning. That's how my heart fell in love with yours. I saw a blue heron doing battle with the river. That's how my heart fell in love with yours. Your heart fell in love with mine. Thank you. Thank you so much. Donada de Luna Diana. Isn't that beautiful? So beautiful. Cool arrangement by Brian, by the way. Yeah. That's on our second to last CD, which we just happened to have with us in the little tiendita, the little store right behind Marcy with other cool things like some of the beautiful bilingual children's audio books that we have recorded over the years, that we've had the honor and pleasure of recording many of them with music compositions and playing, mostly guitar and other things by Brian. So we would like to do something to honor some of our friends from Puerto Rico who are here, and because I'm from Puerto Rico and as you know, the donations this evening, partial proceeds are going to be going to Puerto Rico, in particular to the town of Morovis in Puerto Rico where we have a very dear friend who in fact is a documentary maker. She's in the biz and she has made it her mission to help the people of Morovis, many of whom are still without electricity and running water. So little by little the money that we've been sending. But they have lots of paper towels. There's that. But unfortunately that doesn't turn the lights on. So thank you for donating this evening. And for any of you who are watching, we are gladly accepting still donations to Santo Morovis and the information is right there. Oh, except the tiniest spelled wrong. Tiniest with a Y. It's tiny. Oh, she immediately took it off. Got the hook. tinyurl.com and whatever the heck it says. Did I say heck? Yeah, I said heck. I was checking my language there. Rosie, this is network TV. So we're going to do a beautiful song from Puerto Rico. It's sort of the unofficial national anthem of Puerto Rico. It's called Verde luz by Antonio Cabanvale. Green light. Very emotional song. Just after the hurricane in Boston. Green light of mountains and sea. When I am absent from your beat, your beautiful beaches and your whispering palms, I want to return. I want to see your sky free and your star alone. Now Puerto Rico. Green light of mountains and sea. And the river of the coral. When I am absent from your beautiful beaches and your whispering palms, I want to return. I want to see your sky free and your star alone. I want to see your sky free and your star alone. Now Puerto Rico. Green light of mountains and sea. When I am absent from your beautiful beaches and your whispering palms, I want to return. I want to see your sky free and your star alone. Now Puerto Rico. Green light of mountains and sea. Green light of mountains and sea. And the river of the coral. When I am absent from your beautiful beaches and your whispering palms, I want to return. I want to return. I want to return. I want to see your sky free and your star alone. And the river of the coral. I want to see your sky free and your star alone. And the river of the coral. Green light of mountains and sea. The Genius. And I am absent from your beautiful beaches and your star alone. And I want to return. I want to see your sky free and your star alone. I want to return. I want to return. prolifically and we're really excited to share some of her music with us and it's kind of turned around now we get to harmonize with her it's so beautiful I also want everybody to know because I'm very proud of this I am a proud mommy yes that yesterday Saturday we did a full day workshop in Boston with Scott Parkin who many of you know out there and he was fantastic he coached us on the real conversational read and we did a lot of improv and Alisa was there and she she did great so round of applause for Alisa thank you my mother wins a plus for encouragement well I hope you'll all of you beach goers out there well um forgive my my attire even though I am from Boston I get cold so easily that my body's in shock um so here's the song called blood beats it's a song that I wrote in my room in Cambridge looking out the window and thinking about how the wild weather of Boston can be such a metaphor all the time for what's going on on the inside and Alisa was telling me today if I lived here I never would have written this song I never would have written it it's like I look out the window it's sunny the next day I look out the window it's sunny you know what am I going to write about but I'll have I'll have you know this song is not just about the weather so I hope you listen closely and I hope it takes you on a loving journey also do I have something in my teeth I feel like there's something oh okay that's good well you let me know okay it's funny how windows are mirrors to all that is outside and all that is in and mirrors can become a window when you take a moment to look at your skin well outside the snow is a tumbling glow of commotion behind this wall is a thundering cold to embrace all the chaos within centuries of wisdom can make you so blind your blood beats the rhythm to the answers you'll find all of the years let them pass on and all of the years let them pass through and all of the love left out in the cold it's funny how thoughts turn to truth when you give them the time and the space that they need and truths are just products of thoughts be they good or they bad it's the truth that they feed all of this mist trapped inside of your chest it's emotion locked in this brain is a quiet refrain to embrace all the chaos within centuries of wisdom can make you so blind your blood beats the rhythm to the answers you'll find all of the years let them pass on and all of the fears let them pass through and all of the love left out in the cold let them go and all of the fears let them pass through and all left out in the cold Rosy, Brian, Amado, what an honor. That's my little girl. So here's a song I wrote in Spanish called Palomita which and it means two things as I was reminded one day when I pop quiz to the audience what does Palomita mean and people were like little pigeon and then one little girl was like popcorn and I was like you're right you're not wrong Palomitas de maíz are popcorn yeah yeah so but this song is not really about popcorn I wish it were about popcorn but it was about when I when I moved to I lived in Argentina and when I first started living there yeah I did not have friends I mean I didn't know anybody so the only living thing I got to dialogue with well it wasn't a dialogue I guess I talked to it were the pigeons that lived in my window they nested in my window and my host mother would come into my room and see the pigeons like they're in the window and she'd be like Nana you have to hit the window like this so that the birds fly away and I'd be like no no no that's my friend don't don't kick him out so this song starts addressed to the pigeon little pigeon little gray pigeon you don't explain to me why I'm here and the stars they don't tell me the stories that they used to of love war and peace these days I get lost in myself and words are just a false smile and from this southern continent with winter in its womb and these rains that never stop I ask you to take the way the memories of the mornings and the apples and the light from your window and I have the tremendous honor of having Rossi Ibrahim Amador harmonizing with me again so those days las palabras una falsa sonrisa y desde el sur del continente con invierno en el vientre y las lluvias sin parar tus ojos tu pelo el olor de tu cuello la luz por tu ventana no sabía que al caminar a tu lado me iba a enamorar que una sonrisa te puede marear las estrellas nos contaron mas nuestra historia tenía un final el silencio te puede matar en estos días me pierdo en mí misma y las palabras son una falsa sonrisa y desde el sur del continente con invierno en el vientre y las lluvias sin parar llévate, llévate, ansana tus ojos tu pelo el olor de tu cuello la luz tus ojos tu pelo el olor de tu cuello la luz this is so cool this is my first time playing in los

never seem to last they never never never seem to last they never never never I Incredible audience So anyway, we're gonna Make a little bit of a change of pace here something you probably weren't expecting a country song I I grew up in a very interesting and bizarre place called Albuquerque, New Mexico And One thing about New Mexico is you know, there's this blend of cultures there. It's it's kind of Hispanic It's kind of Anglo and it's a little bit country So one day I was sitting around and I looked in this dark dusty corner of my mind And I saw a country singer there and he gave me this song. It's called Carve my initials in the tree of life I would like to dedicate this song to the closest thing I have to a sister who is Penny Gregor right over here I've known her since we were both little young ins and So this is for you, Penn Yeah I'm not gonna live forever That is one thing that I know Someday I'll be fertilizer Or to make some green things grow I'm not gonna live forever But there's one thing I can see I am gonna Do some living Long before They bury me I'm gonna Carve my initials in the tree of life Leave a little thing that I know I'm gonna get back up, keep on drinking from the loving cup Carve my initials in the cosmic tree Leave a heart that says you plus me won't give up without a fuss Make them sure they will remember You're not gonna live forever That is one thing that's for sure Because we're here but for a moment And for that there ain't no cure You're not gonna think you must do Just be sure to do some living Long before You've got to Carve your initials in the tree of life Keep on living till the day you die When you fall you gotta get back up Keep on drinking from the loving cup Carve our initials in the cosmic tree Leave a heart that says you plus me Won't give up without a fuss Make them sure they will remember Carve my initials in the tree of life Keep on living till the day we die When we fall you gotta get back up Keep on drinking from the loving cup Carve our initials in the cosmic tree Leave a heart that says you plus me Won't give up without a fuss Make them sure they will remember us Carve my initials And now for a total change of pace Another song that actually very reminiscent of New Mexico Some years ago I wrote a suite for our full-sex tet Plus a string quartet And it's all about food It's called Savori Memoria A musical feast in seven courses And this is one of the movement's Son's string quartet, of course That's right And I just want to mention that we are very grateful to say That we had a crowdfunding campaign And I would say about 80% of it was funded By all of our voice-over friends and colleagues Some of you are right here Who helped us fund Savori Memoria So thank you And thank you to those who are out there Who helped fund it, along with our family Because it wouldn't exist without that Actually, yes And we actually happen to have a recording of it here If you're interested It has either a CD or a DVD The DVD has wonderful photo montages That accompany all the music So I highly recommend it And I also would like to dedicate this song When we launched the fundraising campaign The very first person to give us a donation Was Mr. Dan Leonard That's right Did you know that? The kind of guy Dan is Because he's always supporting other people And helping other people So this song is for you Dan Yeah It says I was far from home in a strange land When the smell of chilies took me back to my ranch The years rolled backwards The miles rolled backwards The years disappeared Again, I saw my grandmother shaping tortillas Smell of chilies, smell of childhood So many years erased by nothing more than a fragrance Smell of chiles, smell of home Made me forget how life passes by I was very far from home In a strange place When the smell of chilies took me back to my ranch The years rolled backwards The years disappeared Again, I saw my grandmother shaping tortillas Smell of chilies, smell of childhood So many years erased by nothing more than a fragrance Smell of chiles, smell of home Made me forget how life passes by There are mouths talking about me With hatred and despise While the fruits are eaten That I sewed them I came to the north to work without rest When the smell of chilies took me back to my ranch Smell of chilies, smell of childhood So many years erased by nothing more than a fragrance Smell of chilies, smell of home Made me forget how life passes by Life passes by I wrote a lullaby for the children separated from their families I thought it was a great idea, but when I started to do it All I felt was rage, so it was hard to channel that into a lullaby I figured out how to do it by using the rage This is called Nana Rabiosa Raging Lullaby The lullaby part is in Spanish I'll translate it for you And then there's a rap in English to the people that put them there There's also a refrain that keeps repeating in the English part That is, son niños carajo, their children, dammit The lullaby says, sleep, little girl, sleep Sleep if you can, far from your poppy in your gray cell Sleep, little boy, sleep Know that your mommy thinks of nothing but you Longs for no one but you and is in search of you Sleep, little girl, sleep And if they mistreat you, it's nothing personal It's just that those people are not capable of seeing you as a human being You're nothing but collateral damage Sleep, little girl, sleep Know that this long night will come to an end We won't forget you, we won't give up Until you wake up in freedom Sleep, little girl, sleep Sleep if you can, far from your poppy in your gray cell Sleep, little boy, sleep Know that your mommy thinks of nothing but you Longs for no one but you and is in search of you Sleep, little girl, sleep Sleep if you can And if they mistreat you, it's nothing personal It's just that those people are not capable of seeing you as a human being You're nothing but collateral damage You're nothing but collateral damage And now a little verse for those who put them there How dare you, have you no shame? Are you still blinded by hate that you can't wait to cause another person pain? Can you accept the things they're doing in your name? Is it right to rip a mother from her child for the crime of asking for asylum? A little shelter from the storm A chance to see her kids grow up Having come so far just to end up in a cage It puts me in a rage Song Ninos Garaho All your excuses, your blame and your justification All the bile, denial and obfuscation Can convince the sentient your intentions are good Anymore than Judas Click You betray your humanity, display your insanity Tear apart families for the sake of your vanity A wall you say, build a wall To build yourself a conscience How about we build ourselves a country with a heart A connection to the world An unbreakable democracy Instead of a pathetic, misanthropic plutocracy How about we treat every child like our own Treat the earth like our home Learn to live together so we don't die alone Remember every child is a child is a child Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Song Ninos Garaho Thank you.

For those of you wondering, Marci and I like to come across as the Yucca Lennards. Soleil Contour will be back out in just a couple of minutes, but we've been rehearsing this all week, so you might as well sit down and listen in here for a second. I feel so bad I gotta worry in my mind. I'm so lonesome all of the time. Since I left my baby behind on Blue by You. Saving nickels, saving dimes, playing till the sun don't shine. Looking forward to happier times on Blue by You. I'm going back someday. Come what may to Blue by You. Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue by You. Where the catfish play, play all day. If I could only see, see that familiar sunrise with be eyes. How happy I'd be, gonna see my baby again. Gonna be with all my my friends. Maybe I'll be happy then on Blue by You. I'm going back someday. Come what may to Blue by You. Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on. With that girl of mine by my side. The silver moon and the evening time. Some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside. Well I'll never be Blue, my dreams come. And now my wife, Marcy, we're playing on her ukulele. The other half of the ukulele nerds and I'm using this opportunity for some shameless self-promotion. Which is the point of our show by the way. So you know of my house for the studio and you know now for the outdoor arena. But you don't know about the sweatshop. And this past weekend, this was the sweatshop. Actually, Denny was here for the sweatshop. And I have started creating this little product. It's called Natural Nonsense number 420. We did our production run this week. And you spray it on your hair and your clothes and you don't recline pot anymore. So natural nonsense. And N-O-N-S-C-E-N-T-S. www.naturalnonsense.com. Hopefully you will be seeing it everywhere. So this is a new venture for me. I have done lots of things that people expected me to do my whole life. And now I'm doing something that is totally unexpected and selling in the cannabis industry. And it's making California ever so much better for me. It's making California great again. So for me it's making it great. So this is kind of like my new little personal anthem. Sounds like I'm out of tune. Oh well. I can see clearly now the rain is gone. How many of you saw Mighty Wind? Great movie. Now you're going to really want to see it. First off, Scott Parkin, if you're watching, thank you. The important thing was to note that he said, Never play with somebody who's better than you before you. But you know how like on American Idol they would send those people out? You can't do it once it's in our house. That's us. That's us. The ones that are there for the comic relief. This is a song by Michael McCain and Eugene Levy that we love to sing together. When the veil of dreams has lifted And the fairy tales have all been told There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow More precious than a pot of gold In days of ancient glory Every night and made in fair Shall be joined when the quest is over And the kiss is the oath that they share And when the veil of dreams has lifted And the fairy tales have all been told There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow More precious than a pot of gold Your so far shin of tears, Steve The veil of dreams has lifted And the fairy tales have all been told There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow More precious than a pot of gold Your kiss There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow More precious than a pot of gold You said we need to play things upbeat Cause she was crying for the last two songs This is just the thing, this is a cumbia It's a rhythm from Colombia But it's popular all over Latin America And this one is, it's one I wrote recently It's called Epidemia de Soledad Which means epidemic of loneliness Yes, it's a cheery little ditty They say there's an epidemic, a real plague That people are dying of loneliness More damaging than tobacco, more damaging than alcohol It's like a thorn in the heart Oh, doctor, what can you give me to take away this pain? Oh, pain, what can I take to feel better? And then Dr. Rosie says, you know, No, you're not alone in your loneliness Your problem is more common every day I see it all the time There are many remedies you can try None of them are perfect, but they might help A little, a good meal, a dose of laughter Calling up a friend and going out for a walk A Zumba class, doing yoga or meditating Your partner and dancing a cumbia We have the solution We have the remedy Y dice Disque en que yo Epidemia Una plaga de verdad Que la gente está muriendo De soledad More damaging than tobacco More damaging than alcohol It's like a thorn in the heart Oh, doctor, what can you give me to take away this pain? Oh, pain, pain, pain, pain Oh, pain, what can I take to feel better? Ay, ay No es único su caso Cada vez lo veo más Cepa que no estás sola en su soledad No importa su tribu Religio, una creencia Hay tantas personas con la misma dolencia Ay, doctor, qué me puedes dar Qué me puedes dar Para quitarme este dolor Qué puedo yo tomar Para sentirme mejor Hay muchos remedios Que usted puede tomar Ninguno es perfecto Pero le pueden ayudar Menos redes sociales Más contactos reales Menos amargura Y más gratitud Una buena comida Una dosis de risa Llamada a una amiga Y salir a caminar Meditar a ser yoga Una clase de zumba O agarrar su pareja Y bailar una cumbia Ay, doctor, qué me puedes dar Para quitarme este dolor Qué puedo yo tomar Sentirme mejor Qué me puedes dar Para quitarme este dolor Para quitarme este dolor Ay, doctor Qué puedo yo tomar Para sentirme mejor The Dominican Republic Very famous for his more danceable rhythms Juan Luis Guerra This song is actually a gorgeous love song It's called Amapola Do you know it?
