Quoting from the Villa Montalvo glossy calendar/brochure:
"Montalvo kicks off its outdoor season with a Memorial Day weekend
fiesta! If anybody's going to lead Tex-Mex into the national
spotlight, it'll be these guys, four musical legends from the Lone Star
state. Country crooner Freddy Fender, accordion genius Flaco Jimenez,
and Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers from '60s favorite the Sir Douglas
Quintet, lead an all-out attack on the two-steps, R&B grooves German
polkas and Mexican boleros that sprouted from border dance halls and
cantinas."
"Country music's next big offbeat success ... a quartet of legendary
innovators." (USA Today)
[ ... end of quote ... ]
Phew! If that florid flackery doesn't get your pulse a'poundin', I
just don't know what will ... :^)
In any case, it *does* sound like a great gig (IMHO), and I've got two
tickets to it, but my SO has had an unexpected business trip take her
out of town for the weekend, so I'd prefer to sell the pair.
At a dollar below cost (for simplicity), $45 the pair.

( And yes, I too once had a bumper sticker that said:
+--------------------------------+
| Use an accordion, go to jail - |
| it's the law |
+--------------------------------+
but I subsequently had an attack of eclecticism, and haven't quite
recovered; who knows, it may be contagious ...... )
