IN DOWNTOWN BROWNTOWN, AN ECLECTIC MEZCLA OF MUSIC






Related image

(Ed.'s Note: Does your taste run toward conjunto, classical, salsa, bachata, cumbia or rock and blues? You can find it all within two or three square blocks in downtown Brownsville. Whether it's the original Connectors at the Half Moon on Adams Street with Hawk on harmonicas, the Foncerradas at the Hueso del Fraile on Elizabeth playing Musica Nueva and Latin Folk, or Los Magnificos at La Movidita, there's a genre to fit your taste. 

On Thursdays, Half Moon features Texas Southmost College's Dr. Jonathan Dotson playing classical music with Jen Cello to a growing number of aficionados to the synthesis of classical guitar and cello. Or would you rather make a fool of yourself doing karaoke at Chapters on Thursday, or at Double Trouble and Carta Brava on Sunday? Whatever your poison is, it's all there.)

These are musicians that work hard to learn their trade or hobby. Not anybody can pick up a musical instrument and instantly start playing. It takes tremendous amount of time and learning. Music is appreciated by many people all over the world.
I applaud all musicians they bring happiness tears and many other emotions to all.
Thanks Juan for reminding us of our local treasures...

These are the type of anonymous haters bloggers have to deal with. A simple typo of one letter (mescla to mezcla) and we become a "stupid Mexican." Stop reading this blog if that's what you think of us. Get a life, dude. Have a happier New Year. Goodbye.

“If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered.” This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.

Trolls are deeply insecure they lack real-life stimulation they’re attention whores. It you give them one slight of attention they’ll go from Furby look-a-likes to scaly alligator-bat hybrids. It give their lives a sense of meaning. If your drive is to respond to any threat don't. You will defuse your troll and ("it") will crawl back under their bridges. Laugh at their stupid comments, a good non-stop laughter will boost your immune system, increase blood flow and release endorphins. That's all their good for.

Happy New Year "TO ALL".

Jmon, start banning Ip's and you will see the snarky commenters start dropping like flies. you should see the profanity laden comments and those immature persons trying to be snarky.

Ban useless comments - The easiest is to access a proxy site. ... In layman's terms, if your IP address has been banned from a website, you can type the URL of the site into a proxy site, which will then allow you to connect. This is because the proxy site has its own unique IP address that hasn't been blocked by the website in question.

Na mijito leave it as it is the majority of people like to read salacious and fallacious comments...
