Crisppy Played Guitar(rón)
Chris With Mariachi, el centro histórico, Guadalajara
Larry took this photo of me with el mariachi at an upstairs restaurant and bar that we went to after enjoying an evening of free mariachi music in el centro. Every Wednesday evening, a concert band plays in the kiosko, and now we're in the season where they have another act that follows the concert band as part of "Tapatio Wednesdays." The instrument I'm holding in the photograph is a guitarrón (aka chitarrone), which serves as the bass in a mariachi ensemble. I don't really play it; it was lent to me by Fonzie on the left there for the photo.
