RECENT GUEST EDITORIALS:
L.A.-based musician and expert on the subject MICHAEL HERALDA always presents a compelling and informative performance, and his written piece on the Mexica New Year is fascinating, spiritual, and a must-read for cultural literacy. It's our guest editorial, by Michael, at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2010/03/aztec-calendars-new-year-time-of-music.html. Michael has done musical and spoken word excerpts from his compelling "Aztec Stories" presentation on radio's "Tied to the Tracks," including music on original and traditional Native American instruments.
Did you see our GUEST EDITORIAL in February 2010 by award-winning musician FREEBO? He wrote an essay on climate change that's worth a read, and we presented it in the Guide. It's entertaining and thoughtful, and takes it to the "deniers" in right-wing media. It's at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2010/02/climate-change-by-freebo-special-to.html
