Empieza el llanto
de la guitarra.
Se rompen las copas
de la madrugada.
Empieza el llanto
de la guitarra.
Es inútil callarla.
Es imposible callarla
Llora monótona
como llora el agua,
como llora el viento
sobre la nevada.
Es imposible callarla.
Llora por cosas lejanas.
Arena del Sur caliente
que pide camelias blancas.
Llora flecha sin blanco,
la tarde sin mañana,
y el primer pájaro muerto
sobre la rama.
O guitarra!
Corazón malherido
por cinco espadas.
Michael Ziegahn, A.K.A. "Rafael de Tresa", also teaches flamenco guitar at the Saint Paul Guitar Studio in Lowertown next to the Farmer's Market. If you're interested in learning this fascinating art form, contact him through the S.P.G.S. web site, www.stpaulguitarstudio.com or this site.
Michael also makes cajons, the percussion instrument that has it's roots in Peruvian folk music but has been adopted by the flamenco world in recent years and now is making its way into other types of music as well. It can make a variety of percussion sounds and has even been substituted for a full drum kit (minus the cymbals, which one could certainly add). It can be built a variety of different ways according to your needs. Again, contact Michael through this site for more information.

I was going to go camping this weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends are gonna go check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a series of one time only performance art pieces. This one is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.

I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time yesterday. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a tune called Run Bobby Run:

NOTE DI REGIA
[...] 8 giugno 2008: gli innominabili, gli intoccabili, i nati ladri, i rapitori di bambini, l’incarnazione del male contemporaneo, i parassiti hanno indetto una manifestazione che ha come scopo rivendicare il diritto ai diritti e la speranza parlare al cuore e alla ragione della gente. E’ la prima volta che succede in Italia, molti portano appuntato sul petto un triangolo di stoffa marrone sopra cui è disegnata la Z di zingari, l’infame marchio con cui i nazisti li accompagnavano a morire nei campi di concentramento.
