Jim C.,

I understand that some music can get you a little teary eyed. I taught in Tucson from 1972 to 2003. A few of the schools like Wakefield and Pueblo had a strong mexican influence. I can remember riding the team/band bus back from a Pueblo football game. Quite a few of the band members also played marachi music. One of the kids would hit a few notes on his trumpet and the entire bus would begin to sing an old traditional mexican song. This would repeat with a series of songs for the entire trip!

Linda Ronstadt performed some traditional songs in the collection called Canciones de mi Padre. Linda is amazing!

Here is one:

This will link you to several. Within this set is a song called Cigarra aka cicada and man does she belt out those long notes!!! IMO some of Linda's best work.
