I went to Spain- Pamplona and Galicia- when I was a Junior in high school. My lovely spanish hermana, Itziar, took me to a Mecano concert.
It was incredible. The song that haunted me ever afterwards was Hijo de la luna , which, if you know me, has all the elements I love:
drama
magic
beautiful music
tragic love
I was browsing the rumor mill and I saw that Marie Brennan of Doppelganger (excellent book, very fresh take on witches with a bit of sci-fi thrown in) fame was inquiring about the legality of using that song as a basis for a story.
So of course I had to go listen to the song on Youtube.
And now *I* want to write a story about it….
What I Should Have Said 
If you want to write a story about it, I’m afraid you will have to visit Spain again…
In return I will visit Seattle to see if I can find Doctor Shepherd!

I remember that song – we played the HECK out of it after you got back from Spain.
Writing the story sounds like a great excuse for a trip. It would be a write off, right?
If you find Dr. Shepard, please hold on to him and we’ll just see which one of us gets to him first, Itziar or me.
