Huey Meaux loved to say that he came up with the idea for the Sir Douglas Quintet while holed up in a San Antonio motel armed with nothing but Beatles records, Thunderbird wine , and underage Mexican hookers. His drunkpiphany was that The Beatles were basically playing a variation on the Cajun two-step, with a similar accent on the beat.

"He (Don Juan) said that a warrior had no compassion for anyone. For him, to have compassion meant that you wished the other person to be like you, to be in your shoes, and you lent a hand for that purpose. The hardest thing in the world is for a warrior to let others be. Only a sorcerer who sees and is formless can afford to help anyone — to his understanding every effort to help on our part was an arbitrary act guided by our self interest alone." - La Gorda [...]
El sábado pasado tuvimos una pequeña celebración con motivo de our dear lad´s b-day ( @diegosynthetic ). Una noche muy divertida y perfecta musicalmente hablando, fuí FAN total del playlist de la nite.

"There was a time when performing in Las Vegas represented the absolute pinnacle of any show-business career. In the early 1960s, when Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack were shooting the original Ocean's 11 during the day then singing the night away at the Sands , the city could claim to be the capital of the international entertainment industry. It was even hip." (dg.travelnow.com/) Elvis Presley - Viva Las Vegas Ann Margaret - It's A Nice World To Visit (But Not To Live In) [...]
