We've loved their music for a while. <br /><br />I happen to have a special memory of their music: Several years ago when my husband David and I were walking down some large boulevard in Paris, slivers of their wonderful Cuban fare was wafting out of someone's window through the spring air near where we were walking. <br /><br />Such an unexpected pleasure it was :-) !Tamara Colloff-Bennetthttp://quillcards.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251307621040521480.post-81898371722889984702011-03-19T14:58:26.702-07:002011-03-19T14:58:26.702-07:00Tamara,
