Singer and shoe designer Carlos Santana turns 63 today. Santana was born July 20, 1947, in Autlán de Navarro, Mexico. Carlos learned to play the violin at age five and the guitar at age eight. He eventually settled in San Francisco where he began his career as a guitarist, starting the band Santana. When I think of Carlos Santana, I think of Oye Como Va. I love that song.
In 1998 by Carlos and Deborah Santana, made a deal with the Brown Shoe Company to design shoes that reflect the same passion, artistry, and energy generated by Carlos Santana’s music. I have included a photo of Carlos with Deborah even though they divorced in 2007, because Deborah was integral in structuring the business. A portion from the sales of Carlos by Carlos Santana shoes are donated to the Milagro Foundation. Although Carlos does not design the footwear himself, he and Deborah are a large part of the design process.
R5daughter has several friends who love their Santana shoes. They seem to have a good reputation. Let’s see what is offered. First, getting ready for fall.
Next, Tango $110 at carlosshoes.com There is a gold tone version that is gorgeous.
To celebrate I am going to have a Margarita tonight.

I worked in a shoe boutique in college that sold his shoes and they absolutely killed people’s feet. Hopefully they’ve improved.

The discovery of such Rosetta Stone required permanent friendship. Once a person has passed, the same, sometimes circuitous paths by original thinkers, and when you know the character, the mind and respect it, love it.
One of the great pleasures, after reviewing the basic steps, to science, art, music, or for himself, and finally found the process, the feeling is a scientist or an artist catch something profound, so far, has been completely unknown. The happy moment, but a pale reflection of the primitive feelings must be creative thinkers, give a person is really. And it’s taste, what call “Cusa nicolas sweetness of truth, make people eager to find the road ahead.
But it is a science, art, music, etc. For the book, is the language with software. Simple combination of thinking, including all mixed together, let’s learn together easy to remember. This is a good learning software, can understand the world language. Memory thinking firmly.
