Flaco Jimenez, Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, Augie Myers - Shawn Sahm, Speedy Sparks on bass. Tejano Music Awards http://youtu.be/RFCraxUUAtU Doug Sahm was a childhood musical prodigy born into a working-class family in San Antonio, Texas. I first met Doug at the Blue Note Lounge in 1962. We met up again in California after his smash hit "She's About a Mover". The Texas Tornados is a Grammy Award winning Tejano band. Its music is a fusion of rock, country and various Mexican styles: Freddy Fender, Flaco Jiménez, Augie Meyers, Speedy Sparks, and Doug Sahm. This is Tex-Mex at it's best! Rock, country, Tejano, all mixed into one. Go figure.
