(792 posts)Older sis Lorrie the frontwoman and lil bro Larry the bundle of energy guitar wiz sidekick. There's a lot of videos of them so you can see them in action. I wish they were in color as the Kids wore colorful 'Nudie' Western outfits and must've been a real site to see. I kind of stick to this kind of stuff because Lord knows thinking about the potential troubles ahead is not fun! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NO THINKING TRUMP!

For which Spain fell at his feet.
There's a statue of Agustin Lara in Granada, an expression of gratitude.
