She does look like your mom. When I saw the pic of your mom I thought the same thing. She's going to be 79 in September.
Preciosa is a beautiful song.
Quote:
When I was a kid there was a drive to use “Preciosa” as national anthem. If I am not mistaken the statehooders of the era (probably late 50s-early 60s) were very much against the song because it mentioned the phrase:
“No importa el tirano te trate con negra maldad”
Then there was a petition to Rafael Hernandez (who died in 1965) to change the lyrics of the song to “destino” instead of “tirano.” Now that is what I call besa-culo. To make matters worse Hernández agreed to change the song and you can still find a few recordings from that era that say “destino” instead of “tirano.”

Thanks for the information. These are great tibits to know, but don't you mean I can still find a recording that says "tirano" instead of "destino"?
Suki probably has that one!  She has wonderful musical tastes doesn't she?
