Counting down to the Hag's birthday, April 6th, one of his top hits and a deep cut, "California Blues" by Jimmie Rodgers...so a standard...sort of Great Depression themed.

"Hungry Eyes":

Margo Sylvia of Margo and Tune Weavers,

Steve Gatlin of the Gatlin Brothers, "She's A Broken Lady":

Non-birthday related, a bit of música norteña from Mexico.

Broncos de Reynosa, 2 instrumentals,

La Capsula (dancing sequence starts about 15 seconds in):


El Cerro de la Silla (named for Saddle Hill, Saddle Mountain outside Monterrey, the picture shows why it is easy to see why they call it that):




The Broncos of Reynosa, with their accordion player, Vargas...excellent player, exemplify música norteña in a very noble way, they played some decades ago. Now, some of the genre has even been tied into singing sorts of ballads, corridos to Narco-traffickers, almost making them legends. These modern musicians and singers, have at times, suffered the wrath of rival cartels.  But those Broncos were a good band.
