Juan,

Fun to learn about you! I love your girlfriend's name.
Lucky you, with the talent to learn other languages.

I knew alot of these as I am a fan of your work, I didn't know about number #5. Great list. I got tagged a few days ago on a different kind of list.

Those are pretty cool facts about yourself, thanks for sharing Juan!

I would like to know which band?
Juan J Martinez Jul 19, 2007, 12:55pm EDT
The band broke up many years ago. I can tell one thing, We were the first spanish band to ever play at the hard rock cafe in NYC.

What fun to be you! Sounds so busy!
Juan J Martinez Jul 19, 2007, 1:12pm EDT
At times it is. But I would never trade it for anything.

Juan - how ya doing? Where is Edcouch? Is that in South Texas? I'm originally from Corpus but never really lived there...

Your list was nice and cool to learn more about a fellow Texan! You should be able to learn Italian and German pretty easy if you speak spanish like I do...I speak Spanish, Italian and German fluently and of course a little English...

Wow pretty neat. Do you still remember Tae Kwon Do?
Juan J Martinez Jul 19, 2007, 6:16pm EDT
I can't jump as high or move as fast, but my body still remembers some moves.
Juan J Martinez Jul 19, 2007, 6:19pm EDT
esther, Edcouch is in the Rio Grande Valley which is the furthest south you can get without crossing the Rio Grande River into Mexico. I attended Texas A& I University which now A&M Kingsville. Me and my frat brothers used to party pretty hard in Corpus during the weekends.

Juan..what instrument did you play when you were in the band ?
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Jul 19, 2007, 8:55pm EDT
Juan - I thought road managers didn't play instruments or did you? You play guitar right?
What year did you graduate? I have a cousin that has lived in Kingsville or lived there for awhile until he moved to Utah. His name was Baldemar.
Thanks for telling me about Edcouch. What is the population there?
Juan J Martinez Jul 20, 2007, 9:11am EDT
Timothy and esther, even though I did not play an instrument or perform with the band on stage, I do play several instruments. My main instrument is the trombone which I played all through jr and high school and in the University Band. I can also play the guitar somewhat and can mess around with the piano as well.
Juan J Martinez Jul 20, 2007, 9:13am EDT
esther, I attended Texas A& I University in Kingsville on and off from 1984 through 1989 at which point I quit and moved to San Antonio with the band.
