  1. Hi Jamie,

    I don't know how you feel about the KingBee's (Raul Malo apparently hated it for years when people would ask him when The Mavericks were going to get back together) but....I saw you play live in 1982 and again in early '83 (I think, twice anyway) when you were touring up in Canada, small venue, stage only about 2 feet off the ground, with a dance floor. It was GREAT. Like you say, "that live band sound"....I was 22, 23 years old at the time, just out of the Army, I was working security at the venue is how I came to be there.

    Anyway, I had the 2 albums that came out at the time and used to play them over and over....years went by and I never forgot that sound. A couple of years ago I started doing contracting in the Middle East and was looking to build up my music library, I got a wild hair and did an Amazon search and sure enough, a CD....

    There are at least 8 KingBee's tunes that you wrote on my MP3 player that I use for the gym. Trying to keep up with guys 20 years younger than me over here, it's a must....just great energy music, that classic rock and roll sound.

    You guys were awesome then, and the sound is just as great 30 years later. Do you ever play Las Vegas? If not, I hope to get out to Cali some time and see you play live again one more time.

    Best Regards,
