Topic: Castilian foot


  
 Pirate Strongholds & Hideouts
When the Spanish arrived in Jamaica, there were somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 Arawaks inhabiting the island.
By the time the English took over the island in 1655, they had disappeared — killed off by imported diseases or the cruel treatment from their Castilian overlords.
Some, it is said, chose to kill their children and commit suicide by drinking poisonous cassava juice rather than succumb to the ordeal of Spanish rule.

 Hurdy-gurdy Discography
Gram Parsons was a pivotal figure in country-rock music, and everyone from the Pretenders to Elvis Costello contributed to this CD to honor him.
On the title track, which Parsons wrote with Emmylou Harris, we hear hurdy-gurdy played by Ed Foote, who introduced the hurdy-gurdy to Nashville with his recording with Garth Brooks.
Although it is written 'symphony' in the CD's booklet, Chris Eaton says that it is in fact a huge instrument made after Castilian representations and extant Galician instrument.
