"Just wanted to let you know I received so many compliments regarding your band. You were GREAT. My father was born in Mexico and has been in this country since 1947. He attended the Festival on Saturday night and LOVED you guys. He told all of my parents friends how GREAT you were. He is an old fart but despite that, he could not stop talking about your band. Great job, I personally feel very blessed that you played at our Festival".
