Michigan musician inducted into Tejano Hall of Fame
Listen here. Martin Huron Solis Jr. is the first Michigan resident to be inducted into the Tejano ROOTS Hall of Fame Museum in Alice, Texas. Solis was born in San Antonio in 1929 and began playing the guitar at age six. "Well we were migrant workers. And we didn’t have a job. My dad he decided we should come to Michigan. And that’s why I got here. That must have been 1948 or something like that. I remember the trip and it was nine of us at the time. Total, my mother had 12 children. We arrived at Coleman, Michigan near Bay City," he said.
