the romantic bus driver…. in Santa Fe

I was on the 5:12pm bus from downtown Santa Fe, going home after working that day at the front desk of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.  I don’t have a car, prefer to see and hear and talk to people as I travel around….  The driver had an air about him, he was perhaps in his 30s, in white short-sleeved shirt despite the chilly weather.  He was playing his own selection of music, and seemed transported, despite the motley mix of passengers.  The first piece on his CD was a slow and moving concerto, Spanish guitar, and hints of Andalousia.  Everything was transformed from the banal to the romantic!  I knew the piece and wanted to go home and find it on iTunes. As I got off at my stop, I asked him for the title….in a melodic voice, in perfect Spanish, he said: “Concierto de… ”  I couldn’t possibly have retained it.. so I have now to hope that I find him on another bus.
