There's no easy way to tell Alfonso's story.
In fact many a marketing and PR person says he's,
"completely unmarketable and hitless."
But we knew instantly, that Velez has something you just can't touch.
We could tell you that he speaks several languages, has lived in six countries and holds degrees in international relations. Or, we could
tell you that he buys one pair of boots a year, was recently hospitalized,
loves the strong steady pull of Tolstoy, has a thing for the French
and cares an awful lot about his 1952 Martin 0-18 guitar.
The only thing we've been able to nail down about this guy here at DJ Boy Records, is that he's an original artist; unique in too many ways to recount.
And that might be the best way we can serve his story.
For magic and its methodology, in the end, is best kept a mystery.

It is so Nina, and yet so YOU. You do her honor. I had been hoping you would get Will and your jazzbos working some alchemy in the lab. How chemical it is. Gonna make me have to come back up there.
Hey Alfonso, I like the new song. Sorry I missed your IOTA show, curse their 21+ policy. I'll be playing at the 169 Bar in NYC on May 24th and staying in the city for the weekend if you'd like to come see more play or get together and play some tunes. Keep on a-strummin', man.
love "need to know"! you have such a great sound and presence on stage. i am so bummed i missed ya at Mr. Dennehy's last week :-( Hope to see you soon, Daddy O!
Thanks for adding me. ¶ Love, not sleep. But people hear only what they want to, so facts won't wake them; inspiration is needed too. ¶ This world's evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — particularly those in public office — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, by greed & fear. They want us to share that belief; they use it to justify themselves, to manipulate us, to shape the world's political & economic systems, perpetuating war & poverty. ¶ But you & I have found something better inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, even tank drivers & bomber pilots, if we can just wake them; we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. The outcome of the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be just a spectator. Join the global conversation; it empowers us all. ¶ Question authority. Keep fighting, loving, hoping, singing. Hand in hand, we may still be able to heal the world. — Love, Eric
I found a little bit of it online. I seem to have already found the winner of the bunch, "Arkansas Hard Luck Blues". "Pick out the one you want...We'll drown the rest of 'em!"
