I Was Swindled Out Of $1000 Dollars

Santiago Vera Pelotudo has quite the web presence now. I wonder if he has a Facebook page.

Fugazzeta Blues (music J. Cash)

I see the buquebus a comin'
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen my dollars since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Buenos Aires, and time keeps draggin' on
but that buquebus just turns back over to Sacramento.
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Joe,
always be a good boy, don't trust no-one with your dough.
But I XOOMed a man in Punta just to see him lie
now every time I hear that foghorn I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks inside eating the finest fugazzeta
they're probably drinkin' moscato, it doesn't get much better.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...

Well if they'd free me from these shackles,
if those dollars could be mine
I wouldn't have to sell ipads or snort me all these lines
from this neo-keynesian wonder, I want to sail away
and I'd let that lonesome foghorn blow my blues away...

I think Fugazzeta Blues is going to become your breakout single and your trademark tune.

Sorry - I always struggle with the spelling of fugazzeta.

Hence your fugazetta blues?

Geez Paup, I'm already worrying about what you're going to do with all this creative songwriting energy when and if this ends....maybe write a BAexpats anthem?

I am working on an epic poem - containing more than 10,000 verses it will describe the journey of a rag tag bunch of expats across Uruguay and is based on a hybridised interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh and Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales.

Interesting, but in my mind's eye I see that journey as being something more akin to Mad Max or the Road Warrior.

I have asked a few of my 1%er hells angel buddies to come along for a weekend of hell raisin and ass kickin fun. We won't stay at the hotel though, last time some of them were kicked out of the casino so we have made other arrangements. They would probably be up for some chili though.
