ANOTHER outside the box guffaw!
I thought of you today when we had a funny Spanish situation. I was over at Asuncion’s to work on some music, along with Manuel, a guitarist from Puerto Rico, and Felipe, a guitarist from Guatemala. Manuel (who is fluent in Spanish) couldn’t understand Felipe. Felipe would say something in Spanish, and Manuel would look puzzled, and then Asuncion, who is from Mexico, would say, “El hermano Felipe dice ...,” and explain it to Manuel, in Spanish, and then Manuel would understand.
Weirdness.
