People have a tendency to forget that.”” The fact that Ronstadt sounds likea German insiead of a Spanish name doesn’t mean somebody changed the name, the singer says. “Mexico is a melting pot like the United States. There was a migration of French;-they-ruled- Mexico-awhite- There was a migration of Germans when they discovered mining. My great-great-grandfather was a mining engineer from Germany. He married a Mexican woman—whose_family had been there a long time.”” Mexican music has a lot of long-held notes and falsetto breaks “I grew up listening to this. I learned how to do it,’ Ronstadt says. ‘I used some of it on the end of Blue Bayou.” “I’ve been fooling around with this music a long time. I’ve been figuring out a way I could record it and present it to North Americans.”* First, she and her father wrote Hasten Down the Wind, which she sang, mainly in Spanish, in American pop style “What I wanted to do was traditional Mexican — stop fooling around and not make any concessions at all to the pop market,”’ she said. **I wanted to do it with original arrangements and bands I loved.” “And I did it, and it worked. 1 thought it was strong enough to bridge the gap.”” Open 5:30 p.m. Sunday Brunch 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m Reservations 825-4466 THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL SEA BURGER Breaded Cod ‘on Sesame Seed!
