4: Chicano! Right on.' A visit to San Antonio, home of the cactus, the western boot, the stetson, the button accordion, conjunto music and the Spanish-speaking, Mexican-American Chicanos
' We write lyrics In conjunto music in Spanish, but it's the same feeling as country music. We write love songs, truck-driving songs, farm-workers' songs, songs about smuggling - things that are happening day by day, just addressed to the local community. And we get to remember the hard times we've passed, and our fathers passed and our grandfathers passed, and so when we sing a song we sing It emotionally.'
