The family was so poor that his father would send the boys out to sell Chiclets and spearmint gum on the street, even shine shoes. The young boy would also play Mexican folk songs for fifty cents a song.
After his family came to America, he started saving his money to buy a guitar. One day, he found out his mother had used that money to pay for the immigration papers, their rent, and to fix his sister’s molars. He was so angry, he went back to Mexico. His mother and his brother had to literally kidnap him and bring him back to America.
His mother used to say, “I know we’re poor but we’re not going to be dirty.”
Eventually, he got his guitar. But, living in a small house, with seven kids sharing two bedrooms, there was bound to be conflict. He would return home one day to find out that his brother’s friend accidentally sat on his guitar, breaking it into two, which got the two brothers into a fight.
The next day, however, when he came home from school, there was a new white Gibson Les Paul guitar waiting for him. His brother got him a new guitar. “I broke down, man,” he remembers. That’s what family was like, you go through stuff, but, in the end, you stick together.
