Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Maria Consuela Arroyo
Hi guys,

I acquired the song from Tim on one of my trips to TX and folk-processed it a bit (error and God knows what possessed me).

The correct Spanish name for a woman is Consuelo, and I can't remember enough of the 80s to say why I substituted "in cruel rivalries" for "across the dark seas." I guess I thought it was more topical in terms of Central America.

Hey Art: Ciao, baby. You've probably heard the one about vultures at the airport.
