[Dixielandjazz] Two quick questions...

[Stephen Heist]

Hello gang...

First, eegads, I lost all the verses I collected to Peoria...!  If you have a funny verse (you know to the minor section...) please send it to me off-line - I want to start doing some of those.

ALSO, do you remember the song "Maria Elena" done in the 50's-60's by a group called Los Indios Trabajeros (sp?)  There was sort of like an urban legend going around at the time that this group was a bunch of uneducated and wild Indians somewhere in South America (maybe Mexico) who found guitars and came out of the jungle with this song that somebody then recorded...  I want to find out the TRUE story - or could this be true???
I DO know that this was not the first version of Maria Elena, but I'm curious as heck about this "legend"...
Thanks in advance!
