Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
La Cantina Del Conquistador Words & Music by Ron Tintner, ASCAP ©2013 There's a tavern in Mexico In a town near Monterrey Where old ex-pats gravitate Dream their days away Shots of cheap tequila Help them not remember when They tell the same old stories Again and again And in their dreams, they finally get The lives they waited for... At La Cantina del Conquistador When you get to the point you got nowhere to go Head down to Mexico Live the life you’ve waited for At La Cantina Del Conquistador Carlos pours out happiness Watered down a bit And listens sympathetically While he’s picking up his tips But the patrons don’t complain It's service with a smile ‘Cause this is their final stop On this, their final mile When you get to the point you got nowhere to go Head down to Mexico Live the life you’ve waited for At La cantina Del Conquistador Pretty senoritas entertain them Though the unenlightened masses call them whores They keep the old men's dreams alive and kicking Convince them they're still Conquistadors A pension doesn't go too far Up here in the States But down below the border It's enough to celebrate It covers more than basics Like refreshment at the bar Where you buy your dreams in 2-ounce shots At La Cantina Del Conquistador When you get to the point you got nowhere to go Head down to Mexico Live the life you’ve waited for At La Cantina Del Conquistador You can dream the life you’ve waited for At La Cantina Del Conquistador
