Paul Nabor from P.G.: "A spirit came to me and said "This is the song you're going to play, you try it." And I tried it and I went through, so I'm happy to know France on account of this box (guitar), I know Mexico on account of this box and I've had this box in my hand for 40 years."
Dale Guzman, and Andy Palacio as a guest artist.
