So That I Saw Music As A

I Was Born In Panama, The Republic Of Panama, On July 16, 1948 In Panama City, In An Area Called San Felipe.

So That When I Came To New York Again, It Was, I'm Not Too Sure Right Now, But It Was '74 Or '75. I Went To Miami In '74 And Then I Came To New York, I Think, At The End Of '74.

And, He'd Seen Me In Panama, And He Talked About Maybe Doing Something In New York So I Hooked It Up When I Came Here And I Recorded In 1969 My First Album With Pete Rodriguez.

There Was A Lot Of Stuff Happening In Havana That Was Being Heard And Appreciated By New Orleans Musicians Because Of This Situation. And Vice Versa.

So I Went To Miami In '74 With My Family And While I Was There It Became Obvious That We Needed Money And We Needed To Do Something, Because My Family, We Left Without Anything Really, And We Didn't Have Any Money To Begin With.
