Los Lobos Northampton MA

Los Lobos ripped it up!

We had such a great time Cool. We were so happy to get to meet the guys. Man those are truly the coolest vatos on the planet. I got to tell Louie thanks for the latest Latin Playboys album. We got to tell Conrad how he makes my fiance smile just from watching him. We got to thanks Steve to. Both he and Conrad thanked us repeatedly for coming out. We told them we wouldn't miss it for the world. Cesar was awesome as always. We told him thanks for taking a picture on stage with us a few years ago. He did the common ese nod to that comment. He was still feeling sick I think. Oh and he wouldn't shake hands just knuckled up. Again the coolest vato alive. I wouldn't want any more germs after getting the flu too. Finally, David Hidalgo just made it up as we neared the end of the line. Man I got to stand right next to the MAN! To imagine all the things I could have said to him but I just said, "You are looking more like Jerry Garcia as the days go by". His beard made me feel like Jerry was in the room. He only laughed a bit and said thanks for coming. I know David is his own man and his style is unique but I can't help making the comparison. If only I wasn't so nervous I would have said, "Thanks for making me proud to be Mexican American". Thanks for playing and spreading the music my grandparents and parents like (Ay Te Dejo en San Antonio!!!). Thanks for making music that connects people of all cultures. Thanks for making music that will stand the test of time! I could have said so many things. Just having the chance to is worth so much. Last night was a great experience. These guys never let their fans down!
