My name is Al Hurricane Jr. I'm Al

00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:05.880
Hurricane's first born son oldest son. So

00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:07.799
my dad grew up here in Albuquerque and

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:10.380
he had a musical career that's spanned

00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:13.440
over six decades, over 60 years.

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:15.780
But to continue his career and made his

00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:17.760
career uh singing New Mexico Spanish

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:18.720
music.

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:20.640
We did a lot of Summerfest down here my

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.980
father and I did concerts together and

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:24.420
there were thousands of people here. I

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:27.240
can go back to 1986 thinking one of the

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:28.859
first times we had here and there were

00:00:28.859 --> 00:00:31.080
so many people here in the plaza but I

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:33.120
think it just just so awesome that they

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:34.739
did name it after him and they decided

00:00:34.739 --> 00:00:37.380
this place here.

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:40.140
So many awesome memories down here you

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.239
know and I think to me that's

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:43.800
a lot of people a lot of families that

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.059
come down here and they've touched our

00:00:45.059 --> 00:00:46.379
lives just as much as we've touched

00:00:46.379 --> 00:00:48.600
theirs. So I think it's been really

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.840
awesome.
