[OT] Victor, you didn't tell us! :)

Today, I received this email from a local performing arts center,
about an upcoming event:

Friday, September 7th at 8pm
mismaluna.com presents
Victor Martinez de Oaxaca, Mexico

Victor Martinez is considered one of Southern Mexico's best
contemporary composers, guitarist and singer songwriters. V?ctor
has performed across Mexico and at the Palace of Fine Arts in
Mexico City as well as music festivals in California, Texas,
Puerto Rico and Cuba. His original Oaxacan music is rooted in
the folk rhythms and traditions of indigenous and mestizo Mexico.

Who knew that we had a rising star among us?

Congratulations, Victor! (Assuming we didn't mix you up with another
Victor Martinez?)

Well done.

Oops, I guess this is how rumors get started. My assumption is
that the Victor appearing on stage tomorrow night is not our Victor.
I was just teasing him. I make this assumption because if our Victor
had a musical career, he probably would have told us by now. So I
was joking by posting this. (But there really is a guitarist named
Victor Martinez who will be performing in San Francisco tomorrow
night.)

BTW, Victor, have you ever heard of your namesake here? (Hmm. You
probably have several namesakes, now that I think of it. Neither
Victor nor Martinez is a particularly rare name, after all.)

Joyce - has absolutely no namesakes anywhere!

Wow! Is this really 'our' Victor? I'm impressed!

Victor,

You've probably seen my other posts where I explained that, in my
opinion anyway, this was very unlikely to be you. For one thing, if
you had a major musical career, you'd tell us, wouldn't you?? Also,
you are from Texas NOW, so I'm sure that's what the bio would say
about you, if it were you. This other Victor probably does live in
Oaxaca. Not only that, it said nothing whatsoever about cats, so how
could it possibly have been you?

Didn't mean to cause confusion. I just found it amusing.

If I ever heard of another Joyce Wermont, I think I'd faint. For
starters, Joyce is not the most common name in the English language.
And as far as I know, there are no Wermonts in the world who are not
related to me somehow. (This might be a good time to check this out
on Google, though...)

Those are probably all me, at least I hope so.

However, I did google "Wermont", and I was in for a surprise - there
were at least 11 pages of hits (could've been more, but I only got up
to page 4). Lots of sites from Eastern Europe, in a variety of languages,
including Hungarian, which is not even Slavic.

Wow. I stand totally corrected. I guess Wermont is a legitimate last
name after all. An ancestor of mine "made it up" when he emigrated
to the US. I don't know if he knew that other people had that name or
not. As a kid I was told that it was a made-up name and nobody else
had it - but then, my parents didn't have Google, did they?

One of the things that intrigued me is that "wermont" is also a name
for Artemisia absinthium, aka wormwood, an herb used to make absinthe,
as well as to flavor vermouth. (In France it is known as "vermouth".)
The "wermont" name comes from "Pemb." - I'm not sure what that stands
for. Is it Pembroke? Is this in the UK?

The info is on this site: http://www.spookspring.com/Artemesia/absinth.html

Gee, if one were to believe the movie Westerns of my youth,
ALL Mexicans sang and played the guitar! ;-) (Of course,
that was back in the days of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, so
one was given the impression most American cowboys did, too.)

Isn't it true that Martinez is like "Smith" in Spanish? :P

Actually a friend of mine named Hernandez insists that Hernandez is like
"Smith" in Spanish.
