Today is Independence Day in Central America, so all the schoolkids took to the streets, banging drums, twirling batons, etc. This is a right of passage supposedly reserved for students in their final year of high school, but an exception was made for the kid on the right, and rightfully so.If I look half as cool on stage tonight, I'll be pleased. Yes, tonight is my debut with Fachento. I will be accompanying them for no more than four songs, but I'll be making up for my paltry musical involvement by stacking the crowd with supporters. I've invited just about everyone I know to come, and because it's Independence Day, everyone is looking for an excuse to drink rum. (Actually, most people here don't look for excuses to drink rum -- being alive is reason enough.)
Check here tomorrow for photos of me turning purple, attempting to reach the high notes.
