Accordian Hero.......

I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, and when I was a young Cub, I sang....with the Tucson Boys Choir for a semester, and my Fave was with a Mariachi group, Los Changuitos Feos....*The Ugly Little Monkeys*, founded in the summer of 1964 by a talented musician priest, the late Father Charles Rourke, under the auspices of the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) of All Saints Parish in Tucson.

I only sang with them for one semester too....mostly because I couldn't play the guitar, the trumpet or even the accordian.......

This was the Group back in '67 I think......



I enjoyed it immensely....good guys and girls, and excellent musica....if you like Mariachi.

M'Lady and the Cubs and I went to Tucson last year, and visited an upscale Mexican restaurant....can't remember the name, dammit, and they had strolling musicians....

Two of whom were former Changuitos!.....and one, Francisco, rememered the Leetle Lobito......

Dammnation, but that was a good time, think I surprised my Bride when I joined them in a ....well in my opinion, an excellent rendition of Cielito Lindo and a few others....

*Beer was flowing, yes indeed*

Made me feel nostalgic.....and because I live in SoCal now, and "happen" to be a Gringo, there aren't a lot of openings for part time Mariachis....

Now I've found THIS!!!

Wow, now anybodies can feed their inner Mexican........



Yeah, it's funny. And I like it, and......I was given a Plaque by the Varsity Club in high school proclaiming me to be "Almost a Mexican" ....so you rascistas just "cierra la boca, estar tranquila"......

Besides, the "Almost a Mexican" is a tale for another day....
Adios Amigos!
