Brotherly love extras

The book launch for Brotherly Love was a big hit!

I got to share the Unscrewed Theatre with my friend Dave Soto, who is a graphic artist, and Kathy McIntosh, who is a fellow Arizona-based humorous mystery writer.

The highlight was the interview my friend did with violin teachers David and Wynn Rife. They like teaching violin students--but I have never understood how they have the patience!


Here I explain about trying to teach a violin student myself--not so easy! I also read a few pages from Chapter One of Brotherly Love.

​
Here I explain about the dedication of this book--to a well-deserving violin teacher,
​David R. Rife!



And then we really had fun--my friends Tony Reis and Jaime Valenzuela arrived for a mariachi trio!

Here I'm singing a love song... well, it's kind of a love song. It's called "Amor de los dos," which sounds well and good but---



Some of our other numbers can be heard on Youtube:

Mariachi loco, Doña Juana, Jesucita en Chihuahua,   
Sauce y la palma, Sabor a Tony, Mi viejo San Juan   
 
Caminos de Michocán, ​Rinconcito, Drinking song

​Bamba Rock
