Ok, this is a little strange, but. This afternoon, talking music with a few friends, they mentioned someone who had been in the Del Fuegos. For some reason, presumably the slight similarity in names, I thought of someone I knew a little bit while in high school in Poughkeepsie, Dan del Santo. He was three or four years older than me, I think, a fantastic person and a gifted musician. I remembered that I'd heard that he'd achieved some success in the music field but I'm certain I hadn't thought of him since the Net's been around. So I come home, do a quick google and find out, unfortunately, that he died in 2001, a drug fugitive in Oaxaca, Mexico. But he did put out a few albums that seem to have been highly regarded (in an "outlaw country" vein, I gather) and is credited by some (how you prove this, I have no idea) with originating the term "world beat". Had a band called Professors of Pleasure. Seems to have been quite the character. Anyway, here's one of his discs:
I was wondering if, by chance, anyone ever heard his work.
