Music vet and New Times scribe Lee Zimmerman offers his insights, opinions and observations about the local scene. This week: Walter Salas-Humara of the Silos discusses his new album, his connection to South Florida, and his love affair with Arizona.
In an episode I recounted in an earlier column, I met Walter briefly a couple of years ago when he was in town for a school reunion. At the time, he was living part time in Manhattan and part time in Miami, having returned here due to his then-wife's real estate business. He's since split with his spouse and followed the new object of his affections to Arizona, where he's resettled. He seems perfectly content, at least as far as I could judge from a series of emails we exchanged just prior to the release of the Silos' latest album, aptly dubbed Florizona in homage to the two places he still considers home.
