What part of "I was disappointed in the song selection" did you not understand? Reviving the old school tejano sound is fine with me. I hope the day never comes when bands like Bandango, Los Cruizers and Eddie Perez & The Westside Band etc. are no longer trying to keep it alive. Marty B. In K.C.

: Well, here's my opinion. Instead of buying
: this cd, get out your Old Sunny Ozuna and
: Tierra Tejana albums and you'll have most of
: the songs on this cd. I was disappointed in
: the song selection. Nothing new or fresh,
: sure Bob's production and engineering was
: 1st class. Isn't it always? This cd tells me
: that Little Joe has decided to live off his
: past. I'll crank up my old Little Joe
: albums, too remind me of the days when he
: was a pioneer and not a follower. Marty B.

: Little Joe is back! This is the best CD of
: the year to me. Puro old school in 2005.
: Heavy brass with that happy beat that makes
: one want to dance and throw a grito. Thank
: you Little Joe y La Familia and Bob Gallarza
: for La Onda Chicana at it's best!

: Marty, I think you way off. I heard an
: interview with Bob Gallarza today on Bnet
: radio. He was saying that Little Joe wanted
: to revive that old school sound but at the
: same time give it a new twist. After all
: don't we sit here and post messages about
: the old school sound? Let's face it, other
: than Jimmy Gonzales who else has come up
: with anything new or refreshing? I don't
: know where you live but here in San Antonio,
: on KXTN, they have not updated thier
: playlist since the late 80s early 90s!!
: Hell, they are still playing music from
: Xecelencia, Gary Hobbs, and other washed up
: groups. You don't hear any of the live CD
: Little Joe recorded at Fiesta Texas(here is
: San Antonio), which by the way had load of
: new material, or the new Cd from Adalberto,
: or upcoming groups like Avizzo band, Latin
: Express or anyone new for that matter. I
: think what Little Joe and Bob Gallarza were
: trying to do was take Tejano back to it's
: roots when it was called Chicano music and
: revive the sound we all know. This is the
: same pioneering spirit Little Joe showed
: backed in the early years.
