We've seen a lot of great music here in Texas but this was a special night. On Friday February 22, 2019 we took Gord and "Wesley" to Gruene Hall (about 2/3 of the way to San Antonio) to see Los Texmaniacs who are from San Antonio. Great Conjunto/Tex Mex music made even greater with guests Rosie Flores (who also opened the show), Augie Meyers (who sang several Texas Tornados hits) and Flaco Jimenez (who also brought his son on stage to sing a few including: "I'm all strung out on heroin on the wrong side of town..."). It was packed with an enthusiastic audience cheering them on, lots of beer and friendly folk, people were dancing where ever they could find a clear spot. If you've never heard this kind of music (mostly Spanish, button accordion, plunky guitar and a polka beat) look up Los Texmaniacs on YouTube (or Los Pinkys from Austin or the Texas Tornados (who are no more) for a less jarring introduction...). It's nice to see the young folk in Los Texmaniacs keeping this music alive. They were keen to play with these guests who are legends in the genre.
Here's a
photo album from the event.
