Butch Hancock's She Never Spoke Spanish to Me, performed live in San Antonio by The Texas Tornados: Freddy Fender, Flaco Jimenez, Doug Sahm, and Augie Meyers.
You may not see this for a bit but I must say.. me siento, Sr Leonard. No hablo bueno pero I love the music. There is heart. Corazon en la musica. Music transcends language. Music tugs at the heart, you don't need to understand the words only the feeling.
Legends on stage ..Freddie Fender a great singer and guitar player..Tornado's a great band and all the entertainment you want..r u with me? Rhythem and lyrics are fantastic
I was blessed when the AF stationed me in Lubbock TX in 1971. I never heard such awesome music or met so many musicians. The influence has stayed with me
Freddie Fender with wasted days and wasted nights is a hit that I listened to when growing up and this song is so pretty that Freddie and Doug are singing that is a beautiful song..two legends and the best entertainment on any stage..great band
This song reminded me of my late grandmother, God rest her. Hardly a word of English from my grandfather to me as a child, but my grandmother, she never spoke Spanish to me.

I'm having a bad night tonight. I go from one Texas Tornado song to the next, and the sadness don't go away. God, how I miss these guys, Dougie, Flaco, Augie, Freddie. That was an era, a wonderful era, when we were all brothers and sisters together... I hope and look forward to seeing you guys again, soon...
I'm having a bad night tonight. I go from one Texas Tornado song to the next, and the sadness don't go away." Erik I hear you. I cared for Baldemar in the hospital in Corpus in his last years. I cared for him three days (12 hour night shifts) before I finally told him, while starting an IV at 4 AM in his arm,.... "Soy un gran fan de los Tornados", ("I'm a huge fan of the Tornados") . Baldemar, grinning, "I thought you didn't know?" :) Me being a "bolio" and all. :) . I cared for him twice before his passing. He was a class act . He never stopped giggling at the wonder that my mother, a Tennessee hillbilly girl, bought and played his records when I was in high school. His face is on the water tower in San Benito, TX. One of the last things I saw when I left South Texas after decades.
Sometimes, just sitting by myself, playing my guitar and having a few drinks, I return to my youth and yearn to hear the old Tejano and Conjunto favorites. Sadly, nobody else in Northwestern Michigan has these same memories. Sad.
Tex-Mex has never got the respect it deserves, it'll take Freddy Fender to get inducted into the CMA Hall of Fame, by the time Nashville get round to that we could all be beneath the sod. Love you Freddy, so many good memories. Hasta la Vista Compadre.
Too cool for Nashville, the self appointed gods and bastards in the counting houses couldn't see beyond the Spanish language that so wonderfully spiced this bands' output. That is disgusting compared to the crap and scandal they seemed to endorse. The Tornados are a wonderful breath of fresh air compared to that feedlot they show on the map as Nashville.
Driving home from work one afternoon in about '92 the local country station played "Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone" and so happy to be introduced to the Tornados. Went out immediately and bought the CD. So happy they are on RU-vid. Best TexMex ever. And I never heard them on the local country station again!
Klaus, did you know the large German immigrant population of San Antonio played a great part in the birth of Tex-Mex or "Tejano" music? Musicians of the Mexican mariachi style heard Germans playing polkas on Hohner button accordions and said "gotta get one of those!" The grandfather of Flaco Jimenez was of that first generation of Tejano musicians to play Hohner accordions.
Hallo Klaus, auch wenn ich noch in Deutschland leben, ich kann die Texas Tornados den ganzen Tag hören. Ich liebe die texmex und Mariachi Musik, ich wohne in Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein, Liebe Grüße aus der alten Heimat.
@@peterkrueger3703 Hallo Peter Ich war in meiner Jugend lange in Port aransas. Mir hat damals teymex viel gegeben. Heute lebe ich in Paraguay. Neulich habe ich meinen sohn in regensburg besucht und bei einem restaurantbesuch habe ich eine Familie von nimitz kennengelernt. (ADMIRAL UND NAMENSGEBER der flugzeugträger Nimitz.) Und diese Familie hat ihr Ferienhaus in Port aransas. Da kam mir texex wieder hoch. Nun ist texmex und die tornadas wieder meine einschlafmusik. Beste Grüsse in deutshlands Norden.. Kurt heim
@@kurtheim7855 Hallo Kurt, danke für die lieben Grüße. Ja die Musik ist einfach toll. Wie ist es in Paraguay, kann man dort gut leben? In Deutschland wird es immer schrecklicher, wir werden wegen einer angeblichen pandemie einfach weggesperrt und die Presse ist nur noch auf Regierungskurs. Wir haben auch schon überlegt auszuwandern, aber dafür sind wir inzwischen mit 65 zu alt, um woanders wieder neu anzufangen. Wir leben eigentlich sehr gerne hier im Norden, aber es müsste sich noch viel ändern in Deutschland, damit es wieder besser wird. Liebe Grüße aus Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein Peter
@@peterkrueger3703 , Mein Freund ist am Anfang des Jahres an dieser „Angeblichen Pandemie“ gestorben. Nachdem er aus dem zweiten Koma erwachte, ist er nach nur wenigen Minuten jämmerlich erstickt. Vergessen Sie nicht, dass dieses Problem weltweit existiert und viele arme Länder händeringend nach Impfstoffen betteln. Wer wurde wann durch irgendwelche staatlichen Eingriffe in Deutschland weggesperrt. Trotzdem bin und bleibe ich ein Fan der Tex - Mex Musik.
I just rewatched Terminator 2 made in 91 or 92. This song was playing on the Juke box when Arnold went into a honky tonk bar to get some clothes and a Harley.
Yo tambien no lo entiendo por que somos asi , somos la misma raza nadamas que unos nacidos aqui en USA y otros somos del otro lado . Es lo que nunca entendere por que hay discriminacion entre chicanos y mexicanos . Si un chicano va a mexico los mexicanos dicen o es gabacho no mexicano y en texas algunos nos llaman mojados seamos de donde seamos centro y suda americanos y mexicanos , asi somos desgraciadamente ... por que hay buenos grupos texanos pero nadamas se escuchan en texas es raro el que llegue a pegar mucho en mexico son conta2
NIce blend of Tex Mex love this song still don't spoke a lick of Espanol but love the music, I'm sure i was a Mexican shepard back in old Monterrey, big up to Senor Flaco for his accordian playing too,
I never heard of them. I came across them by accident. Love their songs. When I saw the Title Texas Tornado. I thought that was cool. Because my CB handle is Texas Tornado. Someone gave me that handle back in 79
Tejas born, Tejas PROUD. Viva Tejas! Salute my beloved Texas. Sledge1960 they don't give recognition because they don't understand us. You have to be born here or exposed to our unique culture to appreciate all Texas is. Beautiful song. I had a job for 3 years that allowed me the privilege of traveling all over our great State. I have also traveled across the U.S. After being away and I cross that State line back home I shout for joy!
The AF sent me to Lubbock in 1971. I embraced it so much, that some friends called me "born again Texan." I still have Texas in my heart, the music the culture... it never leaves me. Soy Tejano!
She never spoke Spanish to me either. And I was from Lubbock Texas. And my daughter graduated from Texas Tech Law School. Now a lawyer. But in case love the music. Best Band Ever. B
When I'm in Heaven, these guys will definitely be ones I say "Thanks for the music man" to...Gonna look up some sir Douglas Quintet next. Squeeze box is just amazing...rambling now so AMF..That is Adios my Friend...Eduardito...
haven't heard flaco jiminez since i saw him live at wembley a zillion years ago with dan rowan. sounds fresh as a daisy to me. perfect on this brilliant song. strangely, if anyone is interested, i'm learning spanish at the moment. i get a lot of ladies speaking that language to me. just sayin ......
You hear the basslines they normally use? And the accordion? There's a reason for that. Back in the day, that music originated in the Hill Country of Texas with the German/Czech and Mexican immigrants...so yes, they are the *Texas* Tornadoes. The fact that the music has become popular south of the border is a tribute to its power.
