After last Saturday night's show we kicked it at Conrad's in Pasadena... One of my favorite places to go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and on occasion to get some reading done too! Me and Jimmy philosophized about all things under the moon until almost 1am prepping for this coming Saturday night at Latin Legends V at Primm Nevada's Buffalo Bills Resort and Casino... And now for you reading this... this is one of those moments when you know the test is coming and you only know what you're going to know... in this case the test is "if you have your tickets already" then you know all th answers... That this coming Saturday night it's going to be with Lighter Shade of Brown, Tierra, El Chicano, Malo, and us The Midniters... And it's going to be a paaaaaaaaaarty! #theemidniters #gregesparza #latinlegends #elchicano #tierra #malo #ucla #artlaboe #latinsoul #latinrock #lasoul #ela #browneyedsoul #souldies #oldies #latinlegendsv (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/gregoriosparza/p/BwlRgoeg3Gy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p37i3h2arzhg

6 years ago today... Working class singer in a working class band filling my days and nights in-between shows and singing songs to myself on graveyard shifts in shipyards and tank farms when no one else was around to listen... Solitude and dreams... I've always loved the nighttime. GE This photo was taken by myself at a tank farm in San Jose, CA pulling a graveyard shift, not far from San Jose State University, me alone, well me and the coyotes that is... I thought about how cool it would be to be back in college that might too. A few months later, that November, unexpected layoffs came. This happening propelled down a path that led me back to school attending Glendale Community College and eventually UCLA. Two beautiful campuses. Nevertheless, there I was. I'm wearing my hard helmet with a tilt and some swag like I've always loved to don my 'ol fedoras and lidz... This post is also a shout out and respect to all the essential workers out there in 2020 and to my fellow workers back in the day... They were some tough brothers doing the hard work out there. #gregesparza #gregesparzamusic #workingclass #gregoryandtheenergymerchants #theemidniters #chicanismo #chicano #chicanomusic #chicanx #chicanostudies #chicanojedi #chicanosoul #chicanoart ... #mexicanamerican (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlbISCgdZ5/?igshid=klty0lz15p6r

September 1999 was my first show with Cannibal and the Headhunters and into a life of singing professionally. I joined them in 1998, but they had me rehearsing every week for about 10 or 11months before this show came along. I met Tito Puente Jr. that day too... He performed just before we were to go on... It was a Brazilian Festival and lively, but I wanted to go to sleep from nervousness. One thing that happened that I will never forget is that after we sang, several young women came up to me and asked if they could kiss me! I said YES! LOL... And so one by one they each have me a KISS 😘. Then we took a photo. I can't remember if it was six or eight of them but I was in heaven as they posed to my left and right. To this day I don't know who took that photo and it was never shared with me, but I will never forget that day. #cannibalandtheheadhunters #gregesparza #gregesparzamusic #theemidniters #chicanomusic #chicanosoul #elasoul #ela #gregoryandtheenergymerchants #oldiesbutgoodies #oldies #yes #landof1000dances #kisses #whaaaaat (at Catalina Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCFjTp6gyG-/?igshid=dmtshfwlepiz
