Man, this is awesome! I wasn’t going to post anything ’til tomorrow but I had to post this up because I’m psyched out about it; fellow Jedi Master Leon Kadoch left me a message at my GMail today with the link to a blog post from one of my favorite Panamanian bands, Señor Loop. I hope I don’t have to shoot my load over this again. but as it turns out the guys from the band happened to read a post recently published on the site where I talk about them and how their music is one of the reasons that inspired this here project. Anyway, I lead you right to the post, dated September 19th:

El escritor

19 de Septiembre de 2006Hola. Hoy nuestro amigo Rich Potter encontró a un buay, Rob Rivera, que escribió una reflexión sobre su arte y el arte en Panamá en general. Lo bonito del asunto es que nunca se sabe las consecuencias de los actos: nosotros hicimos un disco de corazón y ni idea de los efectos que esto puede tener en la gente que lo escucha. Yo me imagino que esto le pasa a todos los que hacen alguna expresión artística. ¿No?

Pueden leerlo y comentar en esta dirección. Está escrito en inglés.

saludos

This is very humbling. It also goes to show how linked we all are, as impersonal as the Internet can be, in regards to how easy we can find each other, specially via blogs. It’s true what the say about them, that they’ve revolutionized the way we share information and as a result have made us come closer together. I will take this oportunity to say hello to the fine folks of Señor Loop and to say I’m waiting for their new CD; this place updates daily and the network where my and a host of other sites are housed, PortoDiao.com, is also a great place to visit and get some great content. Now, before I read as if I’m kissing ass, I will also take a moment to mention that Daigoro has a new layout, as well as a blogroll that I will be filling up with all of the site’s numerous sources. It’s gonna be fun… I can see it now!

Anyway, the guy’s right: you never know who much you can reach other people on a very personal level with every little thing you do. It happens much more so when you create and express yourself artistically; personally I don’t think I’ll ever get used to some of the e-mails I get sent telling me how much they enjoy my work… all I can say is thank you. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you come again; I’ll try my best to be all you think I am and deliver the goods on a daily basis. I just wish I would’ve found out about this sooner!
