Cchwnn; exclusive interview con David Lee Garza.
Somewhere in Poteet, Tx.
Hello again I am Blanca Blanch Blanco with one of the most important interview, I have ever been assigned to do, and believe me I have been assigned to do many. But today is a very special interview con the man himself, the man of the hour Mr. David Lee Garza.
BBB; gee Mr. Garza we want to thank you for allowing us to do this interview?

DLG: Not a problem

BBB: You know David if you don’t mind me calling you David?

DLG: Thats cool
BBB: well Mr. Garza after listening to your music for several years now it’s safe to say that you have almost seen everything that could happen to a band, can you share some moments that you might recall that makes you stay in this business this long?

DLG: What i like about what we do is that every now and then a fan will come up to me and say that because of our music or a song they got married.

BBB: your music career has really open the door to a whole lot of male vocals that have gone on their own, does that bother you in which having to keep on looking for lead vocals for your band?

DLG: It was kinda hard at first but after 2 or 3 vocalist came and went we learned real quick that it was a tuff business, but at the same time bringing a new voice into the band was a shot in the arm and the fans were looking forward to it as well.

BBB: besides your great music career, you have done lots of community work in your home town, what are your expectations for future in that area? (outside the music career)

DLG: Being a small town not to many things change around here just faces so its really hard to say what the future brings.

BBB: we know that you do have children, what are their musical plans and future if any in the music business?

DLG: Our kids are very talented but seem to want to do something else for a living and we respect that.

BBB: during your music career we read that one of your best year, I am sure there has been many, but in 1998 you had a crossover blend of music sound de tejano and norteno style. Have this two combinations of style re- directed your concept of what tejano music today?

DLG: No not really Tejano to us is just feel. We tried different sounds and its funny but you seem to allways go back to something you have allready done but to our fans its a fresh sound.

BBB: after reading about you’re successful musical career, what have been some of the difficulties in establish a base for your style of music, such as producing and arranging your style?
DLG: I have to admitt that we are older and the thinking cap isnt what it use to be so we ask our producer/engineer to help us on the arranging even though some of us still have some pretty good ideas.

BBB: David we have seen lots of your postings on a web sites, just to name one, Tejano journal , with this in mind there has been lots of discussions concerning the status of tejano music and its industry, and that we are not progressing, what is your stand on this matter?

DLG: Times change and to the young generation what we call Tejano music is old school, but the young generation is gonna get old some day and they will fall right back to our Tejano music. So are we progressing i say yes thats all we can do is progress.

BBB: after a few employees here at our command post sir are wondering when in the world are you coming to perform in Kingsville,tx?

DLG: Whenever we can get a date we will do our best to go cause we know we have lots of fans that follow us to other citys and towns.

BBB: David if you were giving the opportunity to speak to a thousand high school students what would you tell ?

DGL: ITS DLG: Study hard and be somebody. Make a difference in our world.
