Image 2 - Discussion about how little FB knows about music but liked Segovia playing a guitar on a transatlantic boat crossing. Liked being lulled to sleep in Tenejapa by the sound of many small guitars. First visited in 1925 and were offered a space to sleep in the Town Hall. A fuller version of the tale told in 08915. Image 3 - Concludes the story and suggests that this might make a libretto. Description of main square with pleasant trees. Few people in town mid-week and the authorities while away their time weaving hats. The judge, chief of police and the federal authorities play cards. Silent at dawn on Sunday... Image 4 - A romanticised description of a day. He awakes to music with streams of Indians coming in to and filling the plaza. They come into town carrying merchandize on tump lines to the sound of music, the women with their 'blouses' inside out. They stop and behind bushes turn their 'blouses', around now highly coloured. Dress of men and their hats. Every fifth man with a small guitar, playing adhoc until the music 'gets you'. As trading goes on, the music continues louder when there is a squabble, more alluring when a pretty girl appears. A group goes into the church, FB follows. It is dark and gloomy with a dilapidated altar at the far end. But the Indians stop sooner in front of an array of Saints. Image 5 - Dressed in the same clothing as the Indians. Pine needles on floor, Incense, candles reverence. Eventide, the plaza emptied, Indians in the church.
