If you happen to be able to hear the music in downtown Washington right now and wonder why we are listening to Spanish-language jazz, it is because I couldn't handle listening to the other CD music anymore so I submitted one of my CDs, not realizing it was all in Spanish. The CD is Buena Vista Social Club featuring Ibrahim Firrar (I probably spelled that wrong.)
It probably isn't the ideal music for downtown atmosphere, but I just couldn't handle listening to the other CDs any more. I've heard them about a million times since they started playing and our door is open because of the nice weather so we hear it in our office very clearly.
I'm sure people walking downtown wonder who the heck is choosing this music. I apologize for my near insanity with this situation.
Anyway, the music is kind of a Chamber of Commerce project, and we are looking for new appropriate music to put on the system. If you have any ideas, let a chamber officer know. The sound system is controlled out of Duckwall's.
Until later, adios!

Dan, your spanish language jazz certainly can not be worse than the music I heard last I was in town. My first thought was "Who in Gods Name picked that music". If I had to listen all day as you do, I would have gone stark raving mad. Probably would have started shooting at the speakers to see if I could stop the misery. Spanish jazz sounds like a improvement. Maybe I should donate some John Lee Hooker or Coltrane.
