Agustin;

Encourage your children to play musical instruments! The piano is a great instrument. I play several musical instruments, and taught our son and daughter to play piano, flute, and guitar.

Our son Brian, is classified as a Concert Pianist, but he wants to be a History Teacher. He won a scholarship to Santa Clara University, but turned it down. Brian was accepted by the head of the music department as a personal student – he can sight read anything – including Franz Liszt which is no easy accomplishment. He would rather not play piano for 8 hours a day, work full time and go to school full time. Having fun playing a musical instrument is one thing but being a slave to it is another.

>Your are right, Villancicos are popular in the Andean countries, you are a talented guy, unfortunately I did not learn to play any instrument but my children are playing piano.

>Alma, corazon y vida is widely popular over all Central and South America and surely Mexico too, "Alma para conquistarte, corazon para quererte", etc, it's almost genetically coded in us.

>>I know six developers that use them. None of us have had a problem. One of the guys had his stolen and got a new one of the same model. The Active Matrix is very bright.

>>One reason I like mine is for the last six years – every time I brought my Arm Computer for a demo, I got either the consulting or permanent job I was going for. And I do mean 100% of the time!
>>
>>At first I thought I would only use it for demos and then started using it at computer classes and development. I think highly of the computer and the staff at Arm. My next Lap Top will also be an Arm.

>>On one of my Arm Computers I have my application I wrote for Mel Bay Publishing, to find music literature. It is very cool and when people see it turns out to be almost like a video game. Enter any combination of pieces of information; Composer, instrument, name of piece of music (there are many available criteria) and the program looks up the answer and gives you the catalog number to order. Since I spend a lot of time with my flamenco guitar I get a kick out of this program.

>>By the way I am working on some Villancicos from Spain for Christmas. Hope to get something done to be able to play a few. My wife and I are trying to choose which ones to do. You learn something everyday (hopefully) and I just learned that Villancicos are also popular in Bolivia, Ecuador and much of South America. Also working on Alma, Corazon y Vida, as my wife is from Peru.

>>Ciao.
