Edward also has one CD of JJ cale

Magnolia(我家也有一顆白色Magnolia 耶!!!):

 

Tijuana (Tijuana is the town on the Mexican side across the border from San Diego, where the main business is smuggling people and contraband)

Cajun Moon  (Cajun is the americanized word for the Arcadians, Arcadians are German religious people that were persecuted in Germany and moved to Canada where they suffered the same fate, until they finally moved to the American South, settling around the New Orleans area where they continued their own tradition and developed what we now call the Cajun culture with their own food and music that is so popular now)

Call me the breeze:

why we likes JJ cale, it is because he has a talent to use a songs telling a current affair.

Just like the Tijuana Lyrics:

Just below san Diego
Tijuana, land of broken dreams
Senoritas (Mexican girls) dancing in the moonlight
Flashing Spanish dark eyes to everyone, it seems
They say "hey, gringo (White American man)
Can you take us across the border
Just tell them I'm your daughter
Of a local."
Down the backstreets, through the alleys
All the young men stand with pride
They guard the palace to the kingdom
Called Tijuana, their heritage they decide (they are proud of where come from - Mexico)
They say "hey, gringo
Can you take us across the border
We'll work for just a quarter ( we are happy to work for 1/4 of the money that you earn)On the other side

(the faint Mexican guitar in the background gives it a real authentic scene)
