Is he still touring the Valley? This guy is a world class guitarist and I catch him every time I come home.

I guess none of you all like live music?

That or none of us know of this Jake Cortez your asking about. Ask me about Country Roland and I can tell you exactly where he'll be playing next.

Mondays/Tuesdays at Santa Fe. I saw him back in December there and he may or may not be the guy that repairs guitars at Melba's or whatever that music place is on 10th. If it is then he's a nice guy to boot.

I am pretty sure that Jake is not in the guitar repair business.

I highly suggest to all Ags in the RGV to check him out live. Just go see him live one time. If you like blues, rock, classic rock, (heck, even some country), then you'll enjoy the hell out of this band. SRV is this guy's idol. He has shared the stage with the Doobie Brothers and has opened for Air Supply.

I'll be moving back to El Valle in July and I can't wait to start seeing Jake live again!

If he repairs guitars at Melba's, does he take dance lessons at Melhart's?

I guess so.

How is this funny, I missed the punchline.

Melba's is the dance studio - Melharts is the guitar/musical instrument store.

I had seen Jake back in the day when Mint was Prada and still some what of a classy place. I was at the island yesterday and went to eat at Pier St. Bar & Grill and was surprised to see him playing there. It was good to see him play again and added to the enjoyment of the good burger I had there.
