Before Stereo Total she was in Les Lolitas. Also a great band.

Never heard them referred to as palomitas. (little pigeons) or (doves)

Even by already very high standards the show today has been exceptionally wonderful and moving. I came in during Gracias a la Vida which is one of the most beautiful songs I know and knew this was going to be a great journey and it has been.
Thank you Sheila for helping us all through everything
be well everyone!

A couple months ago, I discovered I had a half-full jar of popcorn in the cupboard. In a move reminiscent of a "Cheapiest People Ever" TLC episode, I reused microwave popcorn envelopes several times to pop the supply.

It must be evening. My Sonos stream is starting to cut out a bit. The web stream always gets tired in the evening (I blame Tune-In).

Thank you for another great show djsheilab!

Many thanks for a great show Sheila B. and for introducing me to Mercedes Sosa, especially "Vidala De La Soledad" (and thank you to your friend for translating it.)
It was so moving to hear the crowd in "Sólo Le Pido a Dios" and to read the lyrics along. By now, we're all so exhausted, but we also ask <Que el dolor no me sea indiferente .
  6:36pm Heather:

thank you so much for your show -- I love your passion and curiosity. I learn so much. big hugs from Kamloops, B.C Canada
