The Latin Grammy Awards are being held in Sevilla TODAY and I’m even more clueless about who anyone is than I have been over the past twenty years when the other Grammy Awards have been presented. Aside from the old-timers “Hall of Fame” entries, or the “the ones that died” homage I have no idea who most of the grammy artists are anymore. Which is then multiplied by LOTS when it’s a specific Grammy celebration here because I have not listened to music on Spanish radio since 1993 (when I stopped listening to commercial radio in general).

But, it’s still fun to watch all the excitement. Two 5-star hotels near my house have had a steady crowd of fans waiting outside hoping for a glimpse of their idols. Meanwhile, last night I found out by accident who Danny Ocean is because he had been in one of my all-time favourite tapas bars Casa Morales and left this chalk-written memento on one of their magnificent tinajas, quoting the title of his latest song.
