Si no, podemos vernos para tomar un café a la hora que sales de la zapatería, y así me cuentas qué tal te va todo. ¿Sabes una cosa? Ayer vi a Paula en el autobús. Antes, cuando vivía en el edificio de enfrente, la veía mucho pero desde que se fue del barrio no nos vemos nunca. Dice que está muy contenta en su nueva casa y que ahora tiene un trabajo mejor en la misma empresa. Tiene un sueldo mayor pero, como ahora vive más cerca del trabajo y va andando, va a esperar a comprarse un coche nuevo. Está muy contenta. También he visto a Ahmed, que se vuelve pronto a Rabat. Esta semana está trabajando, luego se queda aquí durante sus vacaciones, hasta septiembre, y a principios de ese mes ya se va. No tiene mucho tiempo pero, si puede, le gustaría quedar con todos los amigos antes de irse, para despedirse.

  • Here It Might, As Long As It’S Somewhere Worth Traveling

    Here It Might, As Long As It’S Somewhere Worth Traveling

    BRUCE ROBISON Bruce Robison has been making music professionally for decades. He still discusses his craft with so much enthusiasm he sounds almost like a kid raving about superheroes. That infectious energy is evident in every note of his new album, Bruce Robison & the Back Porch Band, as well as his new project, The Next Waltz, a blossoming community of artists, fans and friends gathering both virtually and at his recording studio in Lockhart, just outside of Austin. In both cases, the point is to celebrate country music’s rich traditions while giving creativity free rein to go where it might, as long as it’s somewhere worth traveling. It’s also about celebrating Robison’s “love of the craft of song.” “Writing is where it all starts for me,” he explains. “Whether it’s my writing, or songs I want to do with somebody else. I love the mechanics of it; how simple it can be.” Keeping it simple — and organic — was the guiding principle behind the latest album, a collection of Robison originals, co-writes and covers that capture country’s most beloved stylistic elements: good-time, lighthearted romps (“Rock and Roll Honky Tonk Ramblin’ Man”; “Paid My Dues”) and wistful, sometimes bittersweet ballads (“Long Time Coming”; “Still Doin’ Time”). But even the Who’s “Squeezebox” — which Robison calls “a great country song by some English dudes” — shows up, in a lively version dressed with cajun fiddle by Warren Hood and acoustic guitar and harmonies by Robison’s wife, Kelly Willis. Hood is one of a hand-picked crew of regulars tapped for Next Waltz recording sessions with Jerry Jeff Walker, Randy Rogers, Jack Ingram, Rodney Crowell, Willis, Hayes Carll, Turnpike Troubadours, Sunny Sweeney, Reckless Kelly and others.
