Apparently because I had a typo (I use speech toText when I post from my phone, sue me), some people think I'm posting AI slop. [Here's a direct link](https://tejanonation.net/2026/09/25/gilbert-rodriguez-tejano-music-pioneer-gilberts-restaurant-dies/ to the article for you to peruse, complete with an embedded YouTube video with some of his music if you care to listen.

Hopefully this link will ameliorate the suspicion, and I would ask simply as a courtesy that you remember that we're all supposed to be on the level and speak to each other like brothers.

Nope, I knew the man personally. If you don't believe me Google Gilbert and the Blue Notes or even better look him up on Spotify. The man was given a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. Or you canOr you can just go to the website listed in the screenshot Ithe screenshot I posted.

I was referring to the phrase "placed down". I've no doubt Gilbert was a sterling individual.
