I know! I am related to them...Anita is my mom. You'll never believe it. I've been carrying around a box of old 45s for 20 years and just realized how many family records were in there, over 25 unique releases. I am literally digitally archiving the 11 Coronado 45s I have along with 2 "Los Coronados" and more... I came across a song called "In Lovely Old New Mexico" and started playing along to it on the guitar when I wondered if the lyrics would be online or not. That's how I came to your site.
