dream

[rone]

I was in a Mexican restaurant, and there were guys with guitars going around singing. This particular gentleman was sitting, and many people were sitting around him. He started playing Los Guaduales, but didn't sing, instead inviting everyone around him to join it. Nobody seemed to know all of the lyrics, but everyone managed to chime in at one point or another so the song proceeded uninterrupted.

Now, the trick here is that i could barely remember, while awake, how the song went except for the opening bars. Yet in my dream, the guitar played the tune, although i recall in my dream that the lyrics went "Pican los guaduales" instead of "Lloran los guaduales". But it felt as if my subconscious remembered the song perfectly, and it filtered out into my vaguely conscious mind.

Oh, Jason Giambi was there, too, and he told me he hadn't heard the song since he was a kid in Medellín.
