Happy Thanksgiving to everyone reading this News Letter on my mailing list and those Networking with me around the World and here in the USA. I want to Thank each and everyone of you for being here with me these past 'few' years and wish you the 'Best' this Holiday Season which ever way you celebrate it and enjoy it.
Didn't know which song to share with you, so I picked a slow 'Live' Hendrix groove I did with a couple friends of mine called "Little Wing". It starts out slow and builds up strong. Enjoy it and download if you'd like, free. Tell your friends about my music and get them to join the mailing list and reply to the News Letter. If they/you reply to it, I'll send them any and 'all' the mp3's of any song not available for download, 'free' ~ including "Rock n' Roll Down in Texas" saving the .99 cents.
Enjoy your Holidays and I'll see you all in 2 weeks again
PEACE/LOVE & ROCK 'n ROLL!!

Gotta say 'Thank You' to everyone from around the World and here in the States who have been sending me their/your music for me to listen to everyday. I enjoy listening to them as I have my morning coffee. Some that I've replied to just need a 'little' tweeking to them like a badass guitar solo to boost it up for example would make it 'Pop' a lot more. So, keep sending your stuff to me, oh ~ I also like ambient music, but no Opera, Please.
Well...since I couldn't post "Segue LLorrando" with "Wild Onions" on my last News Letter, here it is for you to enjoy and download if you want too, along with the picture of the actual band I recorded it with, with me on Bass guitar. That thing was bigger than me at the time and I had to play it sometimes for 4 sets a night that I had a small pillow made to put in between the strap and my shoulder.
The drummer and myself on Bass did the beat and I arranged the horn section intro and breaks. I was in the 11th grade at the time in High School in Dallas. Most Chicano bands from out of town didn't want us opening the show before them cause this song would kick their ass at the time.
Enjoy it and tell your friends
See you in 2 weeks

"Segue LLorando" (Ranchera)
N1Music has been sending me 'Chart Status' ratings and tell me that a lot of my Latin/ONDA/Chicana/Tejano songs have been on the top of the charts being heard Nationally, Locally, 'and' Globally. Thank you, for liking and sharing them with your friends and Networking with me out there.
"Wild Onions" and "Segue LLoranado" are holding No.1 spots for a while now, so I'd like to share one with you since I can only post one of them. "Wild Onions" is one of 2 of my very first recordings I did at the age of 16 in the 10th grade, my first year in High School in 1968, playing 3rd Tenor sax with 'Fatz and the All-Stars' out of Dallas. It's a Waltz/Bolero instrument song done 'In Studio', produced on Capri Records in Dallas by Luther de La Garza. Download if you like and share it with your friends.
This month I started my 'umpteenth'? year (I lost count) with N1Music and want to Thank you all for being here with me and being on my mailing list.
See you in 2 weeks and hope everyone of you are safe and healthy 'where ever' in the World and here in the States you are reading this.
PEACE/LOVE & ROCK 'n ROLL!!

Hey! ~ Everyone...sorry for the delay as I had to go out of town on personal business all last week. But I'm here now and want to share this 'Live' take of "Sultans of Swing pt.1 and 2" I did with as a Trio. I had to cut it in two cause of the length and a small mistake and we started it over to end it. Looks like it won't attach Pt.2 so you'll have to click on it to hear it just below it on the play list. Download it if you like and tell your friends about it.
Special Shout Outs! to everyone who's joined in the last couple weeks and "Welcome" to my music and Thank You for liking my stuff...again, tell your friends about it. If you reply to my News Letter, you can request any song that's not available for download in it and I'll send you all the mp3's you want, including "Rock 'n Roll Down in Texas".
See you in 2 weeks ~ I hope :)

Happy 4th of July to everyone here in the States! I hope your night of fireworks is a safe one, don't pop one in your hand...I know the feeling as a kid 'I' did it (short fuze). Anyway ~ this 'Live' song take is "Saka La Boteya" (take the bottle out and remove the cork, turn on the Radio so we can dance) is a lively Cumbia that you will like. It might make you shake that thing and want to dance to it. Download it if you like and tell your friends about it.

Here's hoping you and your's are doing 'great' today as I sit and think of what to say about this Waltz/Bolero (Carinio Santo) song I did with the Latin Souls from link, Texas when I was 18 years old. It's a classic Mexican/Tex/Mex ONDA 'Blues' song about a man who's got the Blues because she left him and he's now in the dumps over her that he can see her face in his drink when he drinks...that's 'bad', man. I've been there and know the feeling. 'Anyway', download it if you like and tell your friends about my music, too.
Shout OUTS ~ to everyone who've joined the mail list in the past 2 weeks and I'm glad you did. If you reply to 'this' News Letter, you can get any mp3's of any and all the songs not available for download for 'free' just for being on the list, including "Rock & Roll Down in Texas" saving the .99 cents.

"Carinio Santo" w/Lonnie Aguilar 03:22
Seems like time fly's when you're having fun or not paying attention to it these days. I can remember playing this song like it was just yesterday. It's one of my most favorite songs to play on Bass guitar because it's 'so' intricate and off beat. It's a Bolero/Tango called "Pasaste a Mi Lado" (you passed by me) and goes on to say you just kept going. I hope you enjoy it as much as I had playing when ever I got the chance too. Download it if you like and tell your friends about my music, too.
Shout Outs to everyone who's been replying to my News Letters from all over the World and here in the States also Networking with me with your friends. There are so many of you that I can't list them all, but I 'do' reply back to you every time as I'm having my coffee in the mornings. 'AND' Thanks to the over 17M people who have read (red) my Profile to date. It means a 'lot' to me...
See you again in 2 weeks for more stuff going on with me to keep you in my loop and up to date.
