(awhile back there was some discussion of Son Jorocho style music from Vera Cruz, this is a great example)

The "El Pescador" cut from Los Lobos was SWEET!
It reminds me of a memorable meal of Pulpo en su Tinta (octopus in it's ink) I enjoyed at Boca del Rio, in a family style beach joint, just south of
Vera Cruz, Christmas 1996......ahhhhhh!
Nice post, Ken.
Gets me to the top of the hill west of Santa Rosalia!
Los Lobos played at the LA County Fair a week or so ago. Geez. I remember back when they cut their first album which was not on a major label. These
guys are all either 60-ish, or pushing 60, but still put on an amazing show.
In my opinion, these guys are what the American Dream is all about.DENNIS - 9-26-2013 at 06:38 PM
I have a whole playlist on my iphone about Mexico! Wish I was there in Baja right now instead of pretending to get ready for work.grace59 - 9-27-2013 at 06:04 AM
Starin' out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
'Bout life and love and lack of
And this emptiness in my heart
Too old to be wild and free still
Too young to be over the hill
Should I try to grow up
But who knows where to start
So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Sun comes up and sun sinks down
And I seen 'em both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul
From the answers and the reasons why
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know
Which way to go
So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Maybe I'll settle down, get married
Or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel
Is still a mystery to me
So I'll just ...
Sit right here, have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

or, when the sun comes up over the hills out where the Sacred Saints of the 7 Sisters trod this song gets me paddling and dancing at the same time-if
that is possible!
"This song is a tribute to the "Border Blaster" radio stations in Mexico, specifically the two that were run by the famous disc jockey Wolfman Jack,
XERF in Via Acuna, (near Del Rio, Texas), and XERB, (in Rosarito Beach near Tijuana)."
