Hi, I'm Gil Polanco from San Antonio, Texas. I've been playing drums for a while with True Stories, The Lesti Huff Band and Eddie & The Allniters (from San Antonio) and The Whitinos from Minneapolis. You can find out more about the bands by clicking on their links above.
The song you're hearing is "La Sirena Lounge" which I recorded with Brother Ed Polanco, Cousin Fred Polanco, and adopted Uncle Mike Phelan. You can also hear "WTF?" which is my country song performed by me with Sly McGee and El Rob Of The Tundra.
I had a heartattack two years ago and started slowing down my schedule. I'm still playing as often as possible, but I'm making sure I don't stress out. Since then, I've cut down my time with True Stories because of the time I'm spending with The Allniters as well as working on the Lesti Huff CD release. I've also started a new project with Ray Symczyk & Jim Bard called The Flying Pariahs which will feature our originals that no one ever hears. We plan to perform only once every couple of months because of our work with other bands.
I want to encourage you to support live music and it's performers every chance you get. No matter what your preference, there's a band somewhere that will lift your spirits.
Please help the environment by planting a tree. Although Al Gore is a whacko and got the science wrong, the world is getting hotter and more polluted. Mother Earth has her own way of cleaning up things and one of her tools is the tree. Trees breathe in CO2 and breathe out oxygen. Deforestation destroys these natural air filters. UNEP has set a goal of planting a billion trees in the next year but they need your help. Please pledge to plant a tree at http://www.unep.org/billiontreecampaign/
