: as they say , "you can't please
: everyone". To be honest gentleman, I
: probably would have picked different
: material myself had it been my call, but
: this was little joe's call; having said that
: , this material is new to a lot of younger
: generation who don't even know who tierra
: tejana is . A lot of these groups are no
: longer recording and alot of that material
: can no longer be bought. Little Joe wanted
: to give homage to his peers of his
: generation of artists buy redoing some of
: their most known hits. In my humble opinion
: , this was very unselfish of him. He wanted
: to give homage to a time when all these
: songs were being played; a time when the
: music was pure chicano. Belive me when I
: tell you that if little joe had wanted to
: just highlight himself, there are plenty of
: other songs he could have done; and by the
: way , this is not the last cd we intend to
: do. we have plans to do one with he and his
: brother johnny (all new material), and some
: other projects that we will talk about in
: the future.
: Look guys, I think this cd was well done and
: well worth the price you paid for it
: regardless of the material. What is more
: important, is that we need to continue
: recording our style of music for our
: children's childrens sake. Some of the
: groups that you have mentioned , Bandango,
: Cruizers, etc. our all friends of mine, but
: they and other new developing groups have to
: start doing more work. You cannot sustain a
: market in dire need of material buy doing
: one cd every 4 or 5 years. I myself have
: completed 7 in the last 2 years and I will
: have a new one out by the end of nov.
: Believe me when I say it is not easy to
: record cds of the caliber of
: "chicanisimo", for a lot of
: reasons. MONEY, being one, but God willing,
: we will keep trying to do our best to keep
: our style of music alive.
: gracias, bob gallarza

Sir, couldn't agree with you more. while the songs maybe old with the new arrangements and production they still sound like the first time I've heard them. this is case of folks stepping out of the box to try something new....keep it up.
