A rousing, rollicking mariachi band serenades those fortunate enough
to be in attendance at the Marion-Dominguez wedding reception,
August 1, 1981. Note Richard Gump in background, staring
starry-eyed into the horizon, wishing that he, too, had been born
Mexican, so that he, too, could have become a mariachi man and
have performed at weddings and wakes and birthdays and
anniveraries like this lucky quintet.

It was just moments after this photo was shot that he snapped
suddenly out of his reverie, ran over and grabbed Mary Ella,
and dragged her to the driveway-dance floor. There,
the two of them put on a wild disco-dancing display to the oddly
compatable Mexican music concert behind them, the likes of
which nobody who witnessed it would ever see again....
