    I’ve learned so much and always have a great time listening. For the low low price of an Apple podcast rate and review, Sammy will even help you with your grad school homework! What a deal!

  • You had me till...

    Compa vihuela started talking $*{^ about frogs.

    It’s all good. I can agree to disagree.

    Great conversations! Easy listening. Awesome for people who are about that “charro life” and for people who just want insight on people keeping traditional music alive in the states.
