[Bb] The Texas Tornado Show!
For the [E] first time live in the living room!
I'm sure you're friends with Johnny Galaves.
Look at all that crowd!
[C] Look at all that crowd!
Freddie, how do you feel?
[Gm] Let's see if you can hear the [N] applause.
Look at the crowd.
So that you can see it on TV.
Look at how it is.
This is how Johnny Galaves' shows are done now.
Look at that Freddie.
All good?
I'm going to talk to one Mexican and one gringo first.
And then the other and the other.
Should we go by age?
Or by evidence?
All right.
Freddie, first of all.
I'm going to go with Freddie Fender because he's a native of San Benito, Texas.
And of course, all the people are very proud of you, Freddie.
We are too.
All the Hispanics and all the people of Freddie Fender.
Welcome again to your old stomping grounds here in Brownsville.
Thank you very much, Johnny.
I guess we're going by age because I'm the oldest in the group.
I'm 53 years old and the youngest one is, I think, Doug, what, 48?
He's the baby.
He's the baby in the family.
And we're just very happy, Johnny, for the success we have with the album.
25 on the Billboard.
25, number 25.
In four weeks, number 25 on Billboard, guys.
With a bullet.
With a bullet.
It's Tex-Mex food, isn't it?
It's beautiful and it's just wonderful.
We're very happy.
We're just having a lot of fun being with the Texas Tornadoes.
Congratulations once again.
And I want to call Doug, Doug, come here.
Come here, boy.
Come see over here.
That's it.
Let's see.
Now you tell us how you feel being in the Rio Grande Valley.
Taiwan, sir.
All right.
Not bad.
You're going to need that when you go back on the checkpoint in the immigration in Sarita.
All right.
That's it.
Well, we wanted to say hello to some people in Los Angeles, right?
Brother Nick, Brother Roy, Taco Brothers, we love you.
Covina, you're compadre?
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
We love you.
Martinez.
Everywhere we go, we just play it out there and it's wonderful.
We did this incredible tour.
And, man, the Lord's been good to us, man.
We're really glad we got to come here and be with you.
How do you feel, you know, like you and Augie, you know, gringuitos, güeros, being next to two Mexicanos?
No problem?
Well, you know, when I first met this dude, I was 17 years old, you know.
And, like, that's been my hero since Hollywood, you know.
And then Flaco, man, you know, I've met a few dudes that play the bajo, and I learned a lot from him and his dad's records, you know.
We're very glad to have Oscar Tejas, one of the premiers of the bajo sexto.
Yeah, we never introduced Oscar Tejas, one of the best bajo sexto players in the United States.
From San Antonio, he's the sex symbol, right?
That's it.
All right.
Well, Doug, I want to congratulate you and, of course, the rest of the guys.
We're going to do some more songs, and then I'll come and talk to Augie and Flaco.
We're going by height.
I dig it.
I got you.
So, I want to congratulate you, of course, Freddy, Flaco, and Tejas, and Augie.
And now we're going to do the song that did it all, right?
Esta Es.
Well, I hope so.
Yes, that's it.
Because once—and I'm glad that you guys gave us the first shot, you know.
The video of this song came out.
And then, send it to Johnny Canales and we'll put it on the show and everyone saw it.
You know, it was great.
I want to say that we gave you the first shot.
We gave you the first shot with the other song, Spanish Harlem, because, Johnny, as you know,
we worked together back in 64 when you had your own band.
You've always been a very, very wonderful gentleman, and I respect that in you.
And you've been in the business just about as long as I have.
We have both struggled.
You have gotten what you wanted, and I've gotten what I wanted.
And if anybody deserves a first shot, it's Johnny Canales.
And you owe me $50.
I'll give you the $50
