...it's an old Maria Muldaur tune...loosely translated, "Ay, digo venga amigo...." means "Oh , I say come , friend..."; I was raised in the heart of the city, Raised up and put down and told what to do. Now looking back it just seems like a pity; I think that I must have been some kind of fool. Ay, for the things I could show you, Ay, for the things you would see, Ay, digo venga, amigo, Ay, to my fair country. But now you will find me out here every morning, Out on the beach or else down in the square, Drinking tequila and wearing huarches, Smelling the pool blossom scent in the air. Ay, for the things I could show you, Ay, for the things you would see, Ay, digo venga, amigo, Ay, to my fair country. Bananas and coconuts, fish from the ocean, Sun in the morning and music at night; Everyone seems to pass by in slow motion; Pregunta, Amigo? What more could be right? Ay, for the things I could show you, Ay, for the things you would see, Ay, digo venga, amigo, Ay, to my fair country. Gringo en Mexico, surrenda y gano. Gringo en Mexico, mi pais hermosa. Ah, yes, mi pais hermosa. Ah, yes, mi pais hermosa. Ah, yes, a grande mariposa. Ah, yes, mi pais hermosa. Hermosa, hermosa...
Maria Muldauer, what a fox, Don't You Feel My Leg. She popped out some pretty good stuff in the mid- Seventies.
^^^Yeah, she was a babe...and had what I call, "smokey and sleepy bedroom eyes". ...dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin always did it for me.
Muldaur had one helluva entourage of musicians back her up, on recordings, live et al. Or the whose who of musicians back then.... a few other great musicians of that time, all female, all dark haired, and all played together at one time or another; OR- each played each others music.....i.e. Muldaur, Wendy Waldman, Karla Bonoff, and of course t/latter 2 began as back-up singers/vocalists to t/Queen: Linda Rondstadt, or Linda covered their tunes, i.e. "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me" (Bonoff), or "Vaudeville Man"-Waldman, covered by Muldaur; as well as several other tunes Muldaur covered of Waldman's and vice versa...Waldman also covered Muldaurs "Gringo En Mexico"...all 3 dark haired vocalist/musicians.... of course there was Bonnie Raitt a Queen in her own right....(red) Nicolette Larson...(golden) Valerie Carter....(blonde) Ay digo venga amigo, (Dinglefknberry)....come come come amigo, to AZ, we will shower you in Tacos.... Bonoff- Waldman- I saw both Waldman and Bonoff play The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach in 75. The Golden Bear was a landmark of a nightclub for upcoming musicians, torn down in 86. Couldn't meet earthquake regualtions...Also saw Muldaur, Rick Danko & Levon Helm, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, just a few musicians you could see in the small <300 seat venue.... PS- Waldman also co-wrote a tune that would become a hit for Vanessa Williams- 'Save the Best For Last'...
mixed signals on Darvish; http://www.nj.com/yankees/index.ssf/2018/01/mlb_free_agency_rumors_yu_darvish_to_yankees_on_te.html https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2018/1/21/16916430/mlb-free-agency-yankees-not-in-mix-yu-darvish
Yankees have announced that they have acquired 3rd Baseman Travis Shaw from the Brewers in exchange for Jacoby Ellsbury and Minor League Pitcher Albert Abreu as per Yankees PR Department.
^^^ Can't wait to see if this actually happens...but if it does, well, WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO !!!!! Edit; ...I can see how this would benefit the Yanx greatly, but I don't see why the Brewers would give a solid 3B/1Bman who is cheap and under team control for 4 more years and finished with 31 HRs and 101 RBIs last year. Of course there are rumors the Brewers are in on Moustakas but especially considering the contract it would take to sign him and having to give up a draft pick, is Moustakas really that much of an upgrade over Shaw? And IF he can stay healthy, Ellsbury would be an upgrade over the Brewers' current CFer...not sure how much of Ellsbury's contract the Yanx will have to eat...I'mm guessing at least half. ...the way I read it, the only way the Brewers trade Shaw is if they're sure of signing Moustakas.
Checked different sports venues for that one and if true I'd add in a huge Yahoo as well. I'd agree that the deal is a bit of a head scratcher, Shaw turned out to be a pretty good player over in Milwaukee and God only knows why the Brewers want Ellsbury. But if true good show.
...I gotta believe that either the Yanx have to eat a large portion of Ellsbury's contract, OR the Yanx will add another prospect to finalize the deal. ...the other head scratcher is why would Ellsbury wave his NTC and agree to go to Milwaukee unless it's because he's certain that he'll be the everyday CFer ?
^^^ Barstool Sports- Gringoes in Mejico ... surrenda y gano/surrender and win... (scratching head) Indeed "a complicated deal" or: "El cambio se ve complicado"...
^^^ I hadn't heard about this move/talks until now. After searching it out, the only talk I found was in early December. I'd love to see it happen, yet believe its been a dead talk/deal since then.
Yanx have 6 prospects in the Top 100, per Baseball America; As for the Yanks, former No. 1 prospect Gleyber Torres slides down to No. 6 to begin 2018. Considering Torres missed most of last season following Tommy John surgery to his non-throwing elbow, he’s still the top shortstop on the board, regardless of the fact it looks like he’ll play a different position in the Bronx. Coming in at No. 38 is 20-year-old Estevan Florial. Having yet to play a single game above High-A Tampa, I was a bit surprised by his elevated ranking. However, if you’ve been following the storyline of the Haitian born outfielder, then you’re well aware that scouts regard him as a five-tool star in the making. If Florial can cut down on his strikeouts in 2018, it’s possible the uber-talented left-handed hitter cracks the Top 15 by season’s end. Justus Sheffield is the Yanks’ first pitcher to appear in the rankings. At No. 41, Sheffield is fifth overall southpaw and seems to have jumped Clint Frazier as the crown jewel of 2016s Andrew Miller trade. Slated to begin the season at Triple-A Scranton, Sheffield has increased the velocity on his fastball, as he was clocked at 98 mph during the AFL. This time last year, Sheffield was ranked at No. 91. Miguel Andujar, whom many fans are rooting for the win the Opening Day third base job appears at No. 59. Known more for his electric stick than his developing glove, Andujar is the third overall third baseman in the group. At 22, it appears Andujar will get a legit shot during Spring Training to prove to the masses that the Yanks don’t need to make a high-priced run at free-agent-to-be Manny Machado next winter. The Yankees’ first right-hander to crack the Top 100 is Albert Abreu. Acquired in the Brian McCann to the Astros trade, Abreu is ranked at No. 77 and according to general manager Brian Cashman, at 21, is more advanced than Luis Severino was at the same age. The final Yankee to make the list is Chance Adams. A consummate winner all across the minor leagues, Adams’ ranking at No. 81 leaves me a bit perplexed. It appears that the longer Adams stays down on the farm, the more questions are posed as to whether he’s better suited for the rotation or bullpen. One would hope at 23, having already excelled at Triple-A, the Yankees would have a clear path cut for Adams.
