In a sandy limbo

Sand Castles
Did you build any fortifications of your own whilst availed with a surfeit of sand?

Sahrawi Western Sahara Desert Blues
I must have been missing in TB action for too long Ralf, but fortunately I checked in and see you travelling through Western Sahara, previously known as Spanish Sahara, but since 1975 claimed by Morocco. My connection to that desert enclave is not the Western Sahara War or its independence movements, but by "the Voice of the Sahara", the Sahrawi singer Mariem Hassan whose powerful vocals and mesmerising desert blues grooves in "La Tumchi Anni" are turned up each time Denise and I hear it. Unfortunately, she has departed to Blues Heaven, so we now have little reason to visit her homeland, so thank you for leaving your flip flops in the sand and venturing into that least visited area and sharing it with us.
