too much fun. I'd never really been into mariachi until I saw this and then I was a convert.

I lived in Corpus Christi Tx for a few years and one day when I was getting off a plane, someone had rented a Mariachi band to meet one of the other passengers.
Ever since I have wanted one to be waiting for me at the airport....it was so cool!!
