Hello, and welcome! You’re listening to Song Stories, Quiet Stories. This podcast Episode, The Temple and the Ledger, is number seven in the series from the new musical, Tales of Tila. I am your host, Carolyn Murset. My special guest, Grandma Tila will arrive any minute now, so if you haven’t yet listened to the earlier episodes in this series, it might be a good idea to do that now, then come back. No worries if you don’t listen in order. The stories might make more sense if you did though.
Many thanks to those of you who have already sent me your story contributions. Don’t be surprised if they show up in a later episode! Are you listeners ready to get your Spanglish on?
Hola! This is Tila Miera Trujillo. What are some of the ways that you communicate with your family and friends when you are not standing right in front of of them? I’m not talking about yelling at each other from across the room, or the yard. And don’t tell me you write messages on paper airplanes and fly them to each other. Don’t be silly. I’ve heard that your telephones nowadays are really fancy and are NOT connected to the wall? I…. don’t believe everything I hear.
Listen now and find out how Trujillo and I left messages for each other.
Find out who drove me and the kids who were still living at home the eleven hour journey to Mesa, Arizona, and how long it took my stubborn viejo to change his mind about going there with me. What is the longest you’ve had to wait for a loved one or friend to change their mind about something worthwhile that you really wanted them to do. What? You’re still waiting? Don’t lose hope.

This is the one-woman musical I began writing twenty years ago, after finding and reading my Grandma Tila Miera Trujillo’s autobiography. Her story about her difficulties making the daily tortillas, as her parents and older brothers labored in the fields nine miles away from Taos, and praying in the cornfield for help captivated me. I knew I had to do something creative with it. Once I resumed writing the script and began composing the music, the Magic began.
