George y Mague

Please pray for George Orosco of Dueto Carta Blanca, he is in the hospital, due to they installed a pacemaker. He will be out of commission for a while, may God bless him and his wife. They both have health problems, so it is only a matter of time that they stop performing live. It is a shame, because they do make wonderful music together. Their son-in-law, Juan Carrillo, is our drummer, and told him we would pass the word around. Thanks

Little League World Series

Wow I think it is pretty cool that a San Antonio team is playing in the world series. I usually never watch the Little League World Series, until now of course. We beat a team from Chula Vista Califas that had a kid who was 6'2 and over 200lbs! No'mbre what do they feed kids over there?! One of the commercials got to me though. They started talking about San Antonio and showed some images of my hometown and what did they show?....you guessed it...mariachis!? EVERYtime they show San Antonio you… Continue

Ted Kennedy: Towering Democratic icon is dead

The news began filtering on the wires shortly before midnight Tuesday - Sen. Ted Kennedy died at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass.

Despite his well-publicized troubles - and they will be relentlessly rehashed in the media in… Continue

From the San Antonio Current via the Reyes Accordion Forum

Tejano, on the other hand, continues going in circles with old… Continue
