Songs from the Barrio: Coming of Age in Modesto, Ca. Stories and Poems by Richard Rios

The stories and poems in my book tell of my life growing up in a small Mexican barrio, or neighborhood, in Modesto, California, during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s and how that led me on the incredible path my life would take in becoming an artist, writer, musician and a teacher.
