Kudos to Haupt's Los Lonely Boys Piece

RECEIVED Tue., Jan. 6, 2004

Just read an article by Melanie Haupt ["Oye Como Va," Music, Aug. 1] and felt it necessary to let you know the following. I am probably the newest addition to the Los Lonely Boys fan mania. Was handed their CD one week before SXSW and through their music reconnected with myself and the world. I've read just about every article on the boys and for the first time felt as if I was sitting face to face having a conversation with Henry, JoJo, and Ringo. This article was well written and, more than anything, moving. A tear came to the eye reading about Roxanne. Simply because I know how us "old school Mexicans" get all dressed for just a fiesta. This is what writing is all about – not reading but feeling the words.
Much Love and Respect,
