Book Description
Baja came to Ray Turner, just like the song, from out of nowhere. He had always played music by ear, but after sixty years, he wanted to know how to read “properly” from a chart. He took off in a van, with only a newly acquired saxophone and a book, How To Read Music, for company. Somehow his simple camping trip turned into a fifteen year flirtation with the thousand-mile-long peninsula that he came to regard as Mexico’s pride and joy.
Divided into themed parts, the notes from his road trip in Baja are: • Driving •Music •Places •Fishing •Fear •People •Jottings
They include highlights: “Talk to your vehicle but only when alone” , “The Mexican nature of hospitality” , “A night at the movies”
And lowlights: “Incident in La Paz” , “Robbed in Tijuana” , “Bahia de los Muertos”
Plus a medley of personal paragraphs about life in Baja: “Fishing–but not for me” , “Plodder’s Last Stand” , “Lobster quest” , “Holy clams”
Filled with genuine curiosity, and bonhomie, the book will entertain the reader with its gentle humour and witty observations.
