Ironically, a lady give me a gift recently, your CD. She did not know my maiden name was Gonzalez. My father's name was Francisco Gonzalez, so was my great grandfather and my nephew are all FG's. This gift was no accident. I sing, my brother plays drums and I love your CD. Let me know if you play or jam somewhere. And... look for the Jarochelo website/radio program. Also check out my friend Martha Gonzalez... singer for Quetzal. You prob. already know them. God bless you.

This guy is the best ... Perhaps we can convince him to play a version of LAS GOLONDRINAS ... I heard him play at el Centro Chicano at UC Santa Barbara back in 1990 for a small group of students..... and he thought that no one listened ..... but he changed lives that day...

I can't locate a copy of any of Francisco's recordings. I tried the URLs given and links from them and have come up with nothing.
I've been looking for a copy of one his older albums, preferably on CD, ever since my Mom brought home one of his cassettes in the '90s. I think it was called "Canciones por Amigos Viejos" or something like that. Had one of the most beautiful tracks, "Maria de Noche" which I belive was original. Anyone know about this album?
