"Hello. I'm Johnny Cash."


This is Tino. Tino and his mom come to stay every weekend from Friday to Monday. He's four and knows two languages, and is working on English as the third. Tino teaches me Zulu and I teach him English. We've been listening to my ipod. Tino likes Bob Marley, the Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, and Johnny Cash. He likes to guess the words to the songs and sing along (and quote Johnny Cash). Tino does not like Jacques Dutronc, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, The Buena Vista Social Club, The Jam, or the Rolling Stones.

Hey Katie! It sounds like your still having a great time. I hope everything works out with your travel plans in the coming weeks. We will be thinking about you. And The Stones!?!? How can you not like the Stones, man?

Did Tino tell Vincent that you are helping him listen to "street music?" Tell him Rachael Dagani says hello.

Miss you and your IPOD.
