The CharroBoys were apart this week because Sammy had to be a teacher. He talks about his experience at the All Region clinic. We also get into other things like Victor’s teachers beating the crap out of him, schooling back then and now, Victor being late for once, and being humbled at workshops by clinicians. Ever had your boss be actually mad at you? We have 🥲

Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
The CharroBoys were apart this week. Sammy headed off to a music teacher conference and Victor stayed behind and humbly worked. Nevertheless, after admitting Victor missed Sammy dearly, we get into a convo about things we don’t enjoy about mariachi. Everyone knows we can’t change everything but if you could, what would that be? Maybe the consistent playlists, the drunk clients that don’t care about you, maybe people being fake? Cosas así. Come hang.

The CharroBoys discuss time travel. If you could go back and hang out with one of your favorite mariachi singers/icons, what would you ask them about? We discuss our picks and at the same time read your responses. Would you talk to Gaspar about starting Mariachi Vargas, have a drink with Jose Alfredo, or maybe even talk with a mariachi legend still around today? Maybe get some tacos and eat them on a curbside somewhere?
