Thanks so much for the contact information for Flory
Jagoda! I just spoke to her - she's very sweet, and
was actually quite thrilled to hear we did a rendition
of "Ocho Kandelikas" (not that I was ever aware it was
her song when we recorded it).
She didn't even care that the royalty check due to her
is for $50 - she was just happy that we're
acknowledging her at all. She hopes to meet me
in-person at her LA concert next week!
Gracias otra vez.
