Peeling myself off the floor. Wow! And to be recognized alongside the late, great Tejano legend, Guadalupe "Shorty" Ortiz. To have my name next to his, Kat's, and the other extraordinary awardees . . Humbling!!
Mil gracias to the ESB MACC, the nom committee, and all those who throw down to keep the Mex in ATX.
¡Ay te wacho, August 1st! 🤎
