"THE LEGEND OF LOTTI"
"Out of the night,
When the full moon is bright,
Comes the Belgian singer known as Lotti"...
Once upon a time, there was a small village in Mexico.
The people who lived in that village were becoming very bored with the music of the local musicians.
The musicians were always playing the same music and singing the same songs...there was nothing different...nothing special!
They would play guitars and fiddles...but the music was nothing special...
They would sing...but the songs were nothing special...
They would play violins and pianos...but the music was still nothing special...
The people of that village were sooooo bored that they found themselves taking verrrry long siestas...
They were grumbling and complaining and in need of a new musician.
Someone who would provide them with music that they had never heard before.
Music that would be exciting.
Music that was unique and special.
But, where would they ever find a musician with such talent???
As if hearing their cries for help,
a mysterious man dressed all in black rode into the village...
Who was this handsome stranger???
The stranger got down off of his horse and gave a mischievous smile and introduced himself as "Lotti".
The people looked at one another, wondering why he had come to their village...
As if to answer their question, Lotti began to sing...
He sang "La Adelita", "Besame Mucho", "Maria Elena", "La Golondrina" and "La Paloma"...
The people of that village were so impressed by his talent!
Wow!
What a wonderful voice he had!
That evening, the town decided to have a fiesta to celebrate the arrival of such a musician.
There was singing and dancing and wonderful food!
It was a "Hay Fiesta En La Hacienda"...
Lotti's singing could be heard all throughout the village that night.
He sang one song after another. "Granada", "Amapola", "Valencia", "Guantanamera", "Eso Beso" and "Amor" filled the air. The village had suddenly turned from boring into lively!
It was a happy night for all!
The people loved the music of Lotti...
But, just as quickly as he came...
It was time for Lotti to leave that village and move on to other villages where he could spread his music to other people who were longing for special "Lottino" music.
Lotti did not leave the village completely, though, because he did leave his mark in the form of his music....."The mark of Lotti".
The legend of Lotti continues today as our handsome hero continues to capture hearts and rescue people in need of "special" music.
This story was just for fun!
