Apparently a Travelogue of Some Sort

Dear friends,

  August has always been a month for new beginnings. For fresh faces and even fresher styles. And where are the freshest styles this August? No surprises here - it's Cajun country! Where else can you indulge in a spicy bowl of jambalaya shrimp and then "cool out" to the sounds of Creole jazz under a Bayou moon? When the sun goes down in New Orleans (Or Naw'lelns, as the natives call it) the nightlife heats up like a crawfish boil! We took a steamboat ride down to the mouth of the "Mighty Mississip" to bring you this special travel edition of Hard Taco Monthly.

  This month's song is entitled "Silent Movie," and although it is about as far from Cajun music as you can get, I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as a heaping plate of red beans and rice. No doubt, you could wrestle an alligator to it, although you would have to wrestle slowly.

  Thanks again for joining us on our jaunt down historic Bourbon Street!  We'll see you next month. And remember, when someone in Lousiana asks you for a "French Quarter," they're probably not talking about pocket change!

With warmest regards,
Zach

And to Think, I Used to Get Away with Just Recording Songs

Dear Friends,

  July has come early, but it has arrived in full force. Be a true a patriot this season, and check out the new Hard Taco song, "Break Out." John Hancock certainly would if he were here today. Rumor has it that this song took over five years to write, and you will see why (if you know anything about time.) 
  In summary, if you download only one MP3 this month, make sure it's  "Break Out," by Hard Taco. Thank you!

With warmest regards,
Zach

Episode Naught vs. Episode Nought

Dear Friends,

  June has arrived at the Hard Taco Project! Be the first to check out the new best-loved favorite, "#1 Stepdad". This song could very well turn out to be the musical equivalent of your favorite T-shirt. 

  For those of you who are new to our family, you may still be confused. It doesn't need to be that way! Finally, if you are like me, and you dread the prospect of getting a group email, even if it is only once a month, please write me back and ask to be removed from the list. (I probably would, if I were you.) Likewise, if you know anyone else who would want to get Hard Taco updates, send me their email. 

With warmest regards, 
Zach
