interview con Jerry Lopez, 2012.
Cchwnn.
Las vegas,
Nevada, hello raza, dang man it’s a heck of a long bicycle ride over here to
las vegas! Have you ever since so many Elivs’s .man anyhow we are and doing an
exclusive interview con Jerry Lopez. And now for that interview:
Sc: hello
sir can you give me a hand off this bicycle sir?
Jl: sure big girl.
Sc:: how
long have you been in the music business?
Jl:: I've been singing since
the age of 4, and psuing instruments since I was 6. Making records since I was
6, so I guess you'd say I've been in the biz all my life.
SC: how
difficult is it to record a cd and the selection of song on that?
JL; the difficulty in recording a cd depends on
many factors. If I'm working with pros, it's easy and lots of fun. Even in the
best situations, the process is long and tedious, but that's the behind the
scenes stuff. It's what I love to do.
SC; this new
release you have, seems to have worked for you, can you comment on that for us
please?
Jl: The new release of Mis
Raises is a labor of love. A tribute to my father who wrote the songs. He's in
his mid 80's and I wanted to do this for him before he is gone. The public
seems to love it and I couldn't be happier about it.
SC: how
difficult is it for doing a life performance, does it require the same band
that helped you record the studio cd ?
Jl: I just performed one of
the songs at the Tejano Music Awards show in San Antonio and was backed by the
band AVIZO. They sounded great and none of them were on the cd. So, no it does
not require the same musicians that recorded the cd, just GOOD musicians.
SC; do you
think que la onda Tejana is dying?
JL; I don't think la Onda
is dying, but it has lost a lot of ground in the last couple do decades. I
noticed at the Tejano awards show that there was very little of the music I
relate with the genre. But, times change.
Sc; off all
the performances you have done is there one that still stands outs?
Jl: Of all the performances
I've done, the one that stands out is when I was playing guitar and singing
with Ricky Martin and we played to 70,000 people in Korea. There are many
others, but that one was remarkable.
Sc: wow, if
given the chance to speak with a group of young what encouraging words would
you use?
Jl: To the youngsters out
there, don't give up, don't give up, don't give up! And practice and hone your
skills. Learn to read music fluently, jam with older more experienced
musicians, take chances, travel and meet other musicians, open your mind and
ears!
Sc; and now
Jerry what would you like to tell you fan base from all over the world?
jL;
To the fans out there, thanks so much for the support. Please continue to support live music and live musicians.

Kingsville,hello again I am bill Diaz con today’s award winning barrio headline news:
Why dopeople smell like chit survey?
Barriopeople arrested for protesting.
And finally vato run over for saving ahelpless doggy.
Yesterdayafternoon a graduate student for our local barrio community college was allowedto share his research he did this past fall semester on why do people smelllike chit survey. Paul Lee Garza Mendez Gonzales told us que it was one of hismost exciting things he had done in his life time in doing this survey. Hereare some of his findings:
Why dopeople smell like chit?
From 100responds the following was recorded:
45 answershad chitty underwear.
20 answer,had dirty diapers.
10 answer,did bath right.
8 answer, just plain old, that’s how old peoplesmell like.
6 answer,didn’t have a clue.
And 11answer that they didn’t give chit.
We are realproud of our barrio students and their efforts to get a better and highereducation.
El constablecadena and his barrio 666 task force, were called upon yesterday afternoon toour only barrio radio station, kkkQk “ que te importa radio”. When they arrivedthey found at least 5 tejanos pissed off, 2 gringos pissed off, and 3 blackswere also pissed off. Once the constable warned them a few times to leave the premise, he took iton his own to remove them by force when they refused. All of the protestor werehaul off to jail and charged. Oh by the way we really nice got word on why theywere protesting but one person dress like a tejano cowboy clown thought thatthey were giving out cheese, was the reason he was in line. He was releasedwith no crime. A few points about that radio station kkkqk has a listeningdistance of about three blocks…
And finally,Yesterday morning the hood was real sad due to the fact que Juan Jr. gone hisbutt run over for doing a good deed. It seems that the single elder woman wholives across the street from Jr. saw her chasing her untrained dog run wildinto oncoming traffic. He felt que he could stop traffic as that darn dogfinally listened and headed back home from across the street without lookingboth ways. When jr. saw that, he quickly responds and got between the dog andan oncoming car. It seems that the driver of the car didn’t see Jr, but insteadavoided hitting the little doggy and struck jr. instead. El constable tells usque jr. has been taken to st.paul’s medical center at the mall once all hisbody pairs were found and hoping que the medical center can put him back togetheragain. Oh by the way there is a reward for the missing dog, and large rewardfor the name of the driver that ran his ass over.
Ok raza hangin there and if it don’t hang you must not be passed 48 years old.
