It's been just over ten years since I retired from my radio show; for those who joined me more recently, I hosted a folk/singer-songwriter program called The Saturday Cafe on KLCC public radio in Eugene for 25 years, from 1990 to 2015. I still get five or six emails from musicians every year, touting their new releases. I generally reply asking them to contact the station (and take me off their mailing list). Most of the folks I worked with have since retired; I don't have any personal contacts there anymore.
So I was surprised to get an envelope in the mail from KLCC last week. The address was hand-written, so I didn't think it was a fundraising pitch. Opened it to find another envelope within, addressed to "Frank Gosar (Folk)" at the station address. From CUBA.

Inside was this half-page letter; It's been 45 years since my college Spanish, so I'm not at all sure what he's saying. Is he offering to send me a CD? It seems to be "Cuban Love Rock Metal Punk, Heavy, Thrash, Doom, [Gothic?], Death."
Certainly not folk.
