I had to write something simply because the SUN IS FINALLY OUT! Not a cloud in the sky for at least 2 days from what I hear, and NPR sweetened the day with a feature on Texas accordion love. It's way too nice to stay in long so this is a quicky.
If you haven't figured this out by now let me come clean, Texas turned me into a massive conjunto and thereby accordion fan. Yes I LOVE me some accordion and along with my dreams of getting up on a tarima and effortlessly getting down to some son jarocho, I dream of grabbing an accordion and letting er' RIP!
So in honor of the big accordion pilgrimage in Houston this weekend, I am posting up a couple of videos. Also check out Flaco and Santiago Jimenez's version of Viva Seguin on the NPR story if you're curious about what makes my hair stand up. As a bonus here's a Freddy Fender and Flaco Jimenez (with Willie Nelson on the side) version of Volver Volver! I'm off to buy myself some botas picudas and a cowgirl hat to go with my dream accordion!
