Santana. Oh, me, oh, my, who else? ~sigh~ ~heavy sigh~
And what song could I choose other than SMOOTH?
Almost seven minutes of perfection:
Santana — SMOOTH
And he’s more than just a brilliant and passionate artist. His web site reveals it:
The arc of Santana’s performing and recording career is complemented by a lifelong devotion to social activism and humanitarian causes. The Milagro Foundation, originally established by Carlos Santana and his family in 1998, has granted more than five million dollars to non-profit programs supporting underserved children and youth in the areas of arts, education and health. Milagro means “miracle,” and the image of children as divine miracles of light and hope—gifts to our lives—is the inspiration behind its name.
I’m posting at Fatal Foodies today about — what else? — smoothies!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Write about a miracle.

Carlos’ guitar is so beautiful. It seems to be made of burled maple, with an actual belly on the top, making it acoustic to some extent. No sound like it!
Santana’s ability to continually make hit songs without having an established vocalist is a miracle. Using Rob Thomas a guest vocalist on this track is so smart!
