Geno; Good evening my cyber friend, I trust that your part of California is getting acceptable and appropriate weather and that you all are well.
When you put up the Flaco Jiminez video, I just knew I'd heard him somewhere before. With a wee bit of ether webs digging, it came up with this which is where I believe I recall him from.
Our girls grew up listening to Tom Russell and Ian Tyson's Cowboy Real album, which introduced me to Tom Russell's other stuff.
Here's my pick of his accordion accompanied best.
My late Mom played the accordion and loved polka music, but somehow I never acquired the taste.
weather is copacetic now, 70F today! And sunny, actually managed to get some lawn mowing done. It was well overgrown what with the moisture and warmer weather of spring.

And I will check out that Tom Russel one, I know I've heard some of his stuff before.
I can tell you with certainty, if Dwayne, EdM or yourself post a music vid on the 24HCF, it's worth a listen.

Wife was a belly dancer for years, taught it even, and I've listened to hours of that music and still love it.
Growing up near the border there is always a place in my heart for Norteno and other Mexican stuff too.
Hell, when they formed I was a starving student in college and the only music I listened to was late at night while studying. Usually on the Humboldt student station as

Vals! The best concert I have ever been to was white zombie opening up for Pantera at the San Jose event center… I was/am huge fan of both bands and came out of that show beat up, dehydrated and blown away
I saw that skank at Merle Fest a few years back. Nastiest stinking skank ever and I was about 20 yards downwind from her. Gaged just thinking about her.
