10 July 2009. Nice gray morning, sun sometime soon... Paying altogether too much attention to John's small green car--an English racing green (and when was it English? when did it ever race?) pulled in on the Solano diagonal. Stack of narrow of cardboard boxes on front seat; bicycle rack on back. Implied narrative...
Jaime Dávalos, songs and poems. "Ese toro," given to heartfelt enthusiasms and good Salta wine. Miguel Castilla, Cuchi Leguizamon, Eduardo Falú...circle of friends. "La calendaria," "Vamos a la zafra", "Canción del Jagandero"...
Worked as a potter, puppeteer, itinerant artist... "Entre fines del '50 y comienzos del '60 tuvo sus propios espacios en television: El patio de Jaime Dávalos, and Desde el corazón de la tierra...
"Alma de las golondrinas," soul of the swallows... "Se me vuelve camalote el corazón..."

(Note: camalote, jacinta de agua, or water hyacinth. "And my heart becomes a camalote...")
