According to Leo Limón's website at https://leolimon.com/
"Born in 1952; East LA, raised in front of a TV set which drove me loquito, and eating warm handmade flour tortillas con mantequia made me a little gordito. It started; at my Tia Teresa's where I got TLC... Mama Maria always off to work; mi jefé appeared appeared three years later. Thank you tio Chayo; for singing in the shower, your books, tools, classic cars, musical instruments and crooked walk. I consider myself a spiritual informant; sent here by request of the abuelitas to enlighten all with PoW WoW (Play on Wordz, Wordz of Wisdom)
