Music has always been important us. I have played in our Country Western band myself for the last 25 years. We are the Medina Mud Band, and we play at fund-raisers, bar mitzvahs, funerals, fiestas - we are as eclectic in our music as we are in our gigs. Most of us are teachers, professors, or plain old corporate day-job folks who thoroughly enjoy the camaraderie that the band gives us. One of our favorite gigs is our annual fund-raiser for Inner City Development. We play this gig at the Quihi Dance Hall, the oldest continuously operating dance hall in Texas, every year in late January or early February.
