About me: I became interested in country music as a roadie for Slim Whitman. At the time I was flipping burgers at the old Zephyr Grill in downtown Bumpus, Texas. Old Slim pulled up in a Flxible bus as red as a firetruck with little blue lassoes all over it, swaggered in and ordered a double meat cheeseburger, medium rare, with shallots and avocado and sugar sprinkles. He was so impressed with the grease bomb he asked me to join his traveling band. We toured the South, the North, the East and the West; along the way I listened to a lot of good music...*****************

Hola Senor G! Gracias for sending so many of your amigos to be our amigo! And a special gracias for sending your amiga the beautiful and talented Senora Abbeygate! Although our drummer Neto has fallen in love with her and refuses to eat or get out of bed until an introduction has been arranged! Can you arrange this, or must poor Neto perish? If he must be left to perish, it's OK, drummers are common as fleas on a mangy coyote around here!
Hey Man! Gimme a break here! My spanish is really rusty when it comes to writin it, and I never got the grammer at all! How do ya get one of them little squiggly lines over the top of the n in senor?! Have ya told Hinson yet that he's about to wind up in a dumpster in the approximate shape of a pretzel?! A guy named MONDO "El Monstro" CALVERA got the contract....
Hola Senior G! ?Que Tal? ..... We wish to express our disappointment at being insulted by your Amigo, Senior Hinson who is unknown. We went to his site to extend our hand in friendship but we were rejected because we are a band from Mexico... Our hearts are heavy and we are fearful for the future fate of Senior Hinson who is unknown....You see, when our Patron, Jefe Oswaldo Fuentes of the Sasabe Cartel, heard of this insult.... he made a vow of determination to teach Senior Hinson who is unknown a lesson in humility and manners! This is not a good thing and we are fearful for the well being of Senior Hinson who is unknown! Perhaps you can describe to your Amigo that there is an unnecessary misunderstanding that needs a positive solution very soon.... Saludos! Via con Dios!
