WILLIE & LOBO -- Wild Heart CD RELEASE CONCERT

PORTLAND, OR. May 5 -- "This guy Lobo, whose real and true name was
Wolfgang Fink, played better than good flamenco guitar in a place
called Mamma Mia in Puerto Vallarta. Had a partner name of Willie Royal,
tall gangly guy who was balding a little early and wore glasses and played
hot gypsy-jazz violin.  They'd worked out a repertoire of their own tunes,
"Improvisation # 18" and "Gypsy Rock" as examples, played 'em high and
hard,
rolled through "Amsterdam" and "The Sultan's Dream" with enough power to
set you two times free or even beyond that when the day had
been tolerable and the night held promise. Lobo, sun worn and hard lined in
the face looking over at Willie Royal bobbing and weaving and twisting his
face into a mean imitation of a death mask when he really got into it,
right wrist looking almost limp but moving his bow at warp speed acros the
strings, punctuated here and there by Lobo's stabbing ruscados and finger
tapping on the guitar top.

Good music, wonderful music, tight and wild all at the same time. On those
nights
when the sweat ran down your back and veneered your face and the gringitas
looked good enough to swallow whole - knowing too they looked just that way
and them watching the crowd to see who might be man enough to try it -
people would be riding on the music, drinking and clapping in flamenco
time, dancing around the dinner tables.

Those words became the opening paragraphs to my novel called Puerto
Vallarta
Squeeze. I'd already had the basic story line in my head, but couldn't seem
to get it up to any kind of lift-off point. Something about the
music did it, I think...."
