Nikon. sorry I took so long to respond. I rarely use this email account but too bad my friends moved from Portland, Maine. I use to visit every summer. love Maine and enjoyed New England, a far cry from :East L.A. Glad you enjoy the music. Have you ever heard Ruben and my version of Star Spangled Banner or America the Beautiful? It's done in a doo wop version and we recorded it for the Bicentennial as a Chicano doo wop tribute. Look for it, I think you'd like it.
This song was written by Frog Camarena from EastLos and arranged by Frank Z and Tony Duran, our lead guitar player. All of us are still alive except Bill Wild, our bass player. Ruben still performs around L.A. Froggie has an internet radio show "chungaradio" Tony lives in Waco, Tex. Buffalo is a tattoo artist. My name is Johnny, I played the hammond b-3 and sang the bass and falsetto parts on vocals. I also sang lead on "Dedicated to the ONe I love." and "Dust My bues.'
Hey Man I love the album with Dedicated to the one I love on it. I'm glad your on here. I'm way up and over in Bangor Maine Top east or the country.and several of my friends and myself had that album and played it a lot. .good to see you on here . Peace man Vic..
The story I know is that Ruben Guevara hung around the Central West Side of LA, and may or may not have recorded his first music at Berendo Jr. High School (near the Pico-Union Dope Ghetto) back in the 60's-70's. This area of LA as well as Echo Park,Eagle Rock and other mid city area's , are where Linda Rhonstadt,The Eagles,Jackson Browne,Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young once lived and roomed together on their way up.

@MrJuanjv Ruben use to perform as PJ Proby back in the 60's. Check out the show Shindig on youtube and look up PJ Proby, this is Ruben singing w. Music hall of famers Bo Diddley and Tina Turner
My bad. I was mistaken, Ruben Guevara of Ruben and the Jets performed under the name of Jay P Moby. Look him up on You Tube under Shindig w Bo Diddley and Tina Turner

Used to hang out at Buffalo's tattoo shop on Hollywood and Vine in '70's.
Sounds like he's still at it. Hopefully hasn't given up the sax!

No, this is not Zappa but it does feature one Mother-Motorhead Sherwood.

Zappa produced their stuff however.

For some that are mislead:
This is NOT Frank Zappa. It's a group of dudes from L.A. who approached Frank about using the name "Ruben and the Jets" Frank produced the album.

At the risk of pissing off people, this is a satire of latin pop/rock. Zappa grew up listening to this style of music.
