Thread Name: BS: Getting well in Guam
Subject: RE: BS: Getting well in Guam
Brett, a woman I play music with a couple of times a week, speaks and sings in Chamorro. She was born in Saipan but her family moved to Guam when she was 13 and she lived there until about 15 years ago.

My point is that she knows tons of songs in a half ton of languages. I never even knew that Japanese songs are beautiful as are Chinese (no gongs!). And 'Island' songs! I go around humming them.

I couldn't stand the heat so I can't regret that I never went there but I absolutely love the music that seems to permeate every corner of that world.
