A lot of people around the radio station tease me about being the foreign language pronunciation patrol, which I don't mind, because learning foreign languages has been among the best journeys of my life.  Certainly I couldn't do the shows I do without them.  I recently completed a memoir about what these languages have done for my life and it's available for download here:

It also includes the story of how I happened to end up in Brazil and learn Portuguese and also fall in love with the music as a happy result.
