IT's Friday! and we're gonna CUMBIA! This is called "Cumbia Del Sol" (Dance of the Sun or Sun Dance), and it's our version mix of Columbian, African, Puerto Rican salsa with our own Tejano Roots touch. All combined in this song where I play 3rd Tenor saxophone on with the Latin Souls from Ft. Worth, Texas. I'd also just turned 18 when I was doing this fresh out of High School. In the last News Letter I mentioned it was another story of how I was the 'only' one in the Band from Dallas and sort of the outcast. Well, I met them at a Battle of the Bands 'in' Dallas where I was playing Bass and sax in a local band, and the leader asked me if I'd be interested in joining 'his' band. I was looking for a change and my next step up, since his Godfather was a big time promoter at that time, so I said 'yes' and went on tour with them for the summer of 1970. One day I'll write a book of my 22 year music adventure.
