saludos rick ... como le va ?

RICK,THANK YOU!!! FOR YOUR MOST KIND WORDS AND YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT MY GOOD FRIEND ,FLACO JIMENEZ, AND ALL OF HIS FANS 'S FRIEND,THAT IS HOW HE THINKS AND TALKS ABOUT HIS FANS,,,,THEY ARE HIS FRIENDS!! AND HE TREATS THEM AS SUCH. I JUST GOT BACK FROM WORKING ON MY YARD PHYSICALLY HARD FOR 30 MINUTES TO GET RID OF SOME STRESS!! IT IS JUST LIKE GOING TO THE GYM!! IT HAS BEEN A VERY HARD MONTH FOR ME,,,
ON SEPT, 3RD, WE LOST, OF A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK, MY GRANDDAUGTHERS YOUNG FATHER, 600 MILES FROM HERE,,I WENT THERE FOR 8 DAYS OR MORE. THEN I HAD DWAYNE'S WHO IN MY EYES AND HEART IS LIKE A SON TO ME TOO, AND PLAYS LIKE FLACO, EVEN BY FLACO'S OWN WORDS, EVEN THOUR ,HE SPEAKS WELL OF EVERY ACCORIONIST, AND THERE A LOT OF GOOD ONES, AND I RESPECT AND ADMIRE ALL, FAMOUS OR NOT. WE THINK DWAYNE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT GETS CLOSE TO HIS PLAYING ON THAT ACCORDION, THAT ARE SOME THAT GET CLOSE AND ALMOST SOUND LIKE HIM ,BUIT NONE LIKE DWAYNE, EVEN FLACO RECOGNISES THAT AND SAYS IT TO EVERYONE. IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING! AND TOP OF IT ALL HE IS JUST AS HUMBLE,POLITE AND FRIENDLY LIKE FLACO.

WHAT ,I GOT OFF THE SUBJECT, I HAVE TWO MUSIC EVENTS THAT DWAYNE IS PERFORMING AT . THAT TAKES A LOT OF WORK,PLANNING,CALLS,EMAILS ,RUNNING AROUND ALL OVER TOWN ATTENDING FUNCTIONS OR ORG. I AM A MEMBER OF, THE MEDIA, ADVERITZING AND I DO NOT HAVE AM ASSISANTANT RIGHT NOW,LIKE I I DID WHEN I WAS FLACO'S MANAGER, SINCE I DID NOT THINK I WAS GOING TO WORK ANYMORE.
BUT IT TAKES MORE THAN WHAT PEOPLE KNOW TO BE A GOOD MANAGER,PROMOTER, PUBLICITY ,FOR THE ARTIST WE MANAGE,PROBLEMS ALWAYS COME OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE , BUT THANK GOD F0R MY GOOOD LOYAL,TRUE FRIENDS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING TO MY RESCUE AT THIS TIME. I WANT THE VERY BEST FOR DWAYNE AND THIS TRIP TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND GOOD MEMORIES FOR HIM AND HIS LOVELY PARENTS.
THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT COMMENTS ON FLACO!! MAYBE SOME DAY HE WILL GIVE LESSONS, ONLY GOD KNOWS BUT IF HE DOES ,THE PEOPLE WOULD BE VERY FORTUNATE TO SIT AND VISIT WITH HIM.
MY DINNER IS READY AND NEED TO GO EAT, THANKS FOR LETTING ME EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS!
HAVE A GREAT EVENING!! GLAD WE ARE HOMIES!
I JUST GOT A TEXT MESSAGE, DWAYNE AND HIS PARENTS LEFT THEIR HOME TO AMESTERDAM TO CATCH THEIR FLIGHT HERE,I ARRANGE A WELCOME PARTY WAITING FOR HIS ARRIVAL AT THE AIRPORT, WITH SOME OF THE MEDIA THERE!! TOMORROW EVENING WHEN THEIR FLIGHT ARRIVES. WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WERE HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. IT IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN ON BOTH OF HIS CONCERTS!

WELL GREETINGS TO ALL IN SEATTLE ,WASHINGTON, IT IS A MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY!! I STOPPED AND VISITED THERE A COUPLE OF DAYS ON MY WAY TO VANCOUVER,CANADA!! ESTA PERO HERMOSO!!

RICK, I HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD AND MANY LONG HOURS, I THOUGHTHI WAS ON MY HOME PAGE. CREIA,QUE ESTABA EN MI PAJINA,,,ANDO TAN CANSADA QUE NO SE EN RATOS,DONDE ESTA MI CABESA,SI NO ESTUBIERA PEGADA EN MI CUERPO,LA PERDERIA LOL
PERDON OTRA VEZ,Y SI SUPIERA COMO HACERLO, CAMBIARIA LO QUE ESCRIBI, PARA MI PAJINA Y NO TENGO TIEMPO PARA ESCRIBAR OTRA EN MI PAGINA AHORITA O LO HACIA.
GRACIAS POR SER MI AMIGO, OJALA Y USTED Y SU FAMILIA PUEDAN IR A VER A DWAYNE QUE VIENE DE EUROPA, Y VA A TOCAR EN RUBEN PLACE EL DIA 3,ESTE SABADO,Y SI PUEDEN , A USTED Y SU SENORA,NO LES CUESTA NADA POR VER USADO SU PAGINA PARA EXPRESAR,LO QUE TRAIGO EN MI CORAZON...NOMAS PREGUNTE POR MI EN LA PUERTA.
GRACIAS Y QUE DIOS LOS BENDIGA.
