Posted by Ray Flores To me I have always liked Conjunto style best which I call beer joint music because that is where I started out learning there styles and technique and will almost always start your foot tapping the floor. Nothing will make you feel better then listening to accordion conjunto polkas. --Previous Message--

Hey Marty, Yea I'm still playing that accordion with the band (Paradize)but also get together with some other guys and jam and learn new polkas and just learn new styles from them. The guys from Mexico play faster and of course that keeps me going but I have always liked to learn new things that I can use with the Tejano/Conjunto music.

: Just a short note to wish all the Old School
: members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy
: New Year. It's at this time I bring out my
: old 45's and LP's and go downstairs and play
: my old records. Dances were only a dollar
: to get in and soda was 25 cents and the boys
: would be on one side of the hall and the
: girls were on the other side! It's funny
: now but it's true. That was alot of years
: ago and Mrs. Flores and I have been married
: for 35 years and went out for 6 years before
: that! Time comes and goes but as long as I
: have my old Tejano records and Mrs. Flores
: by my side, I'm happy.
:
: Merry Christmas to you all from Kansas
