Thank you, Denison. I'll check out the web sites sometime this week. I have no doubt about the Brazilian aesthetic ability. Musically, one of the prominent composers of the 20th C was Brazilian, Villa-Lobos. I hold him in very high regard. Much of his music was film-oriented, making it enjoyable to many. His set of Bachianas Brasilieras has some wonderful pieces. I especially like #1, 2, 3, 5, 7.<BR> There are many people coming from Brazil to the northeast, and assimilating very quickly. Adapting to a language as tricky as ours is not easy. You write well, and I appreciate your love of the "right stuff". <BR>Shos
