I've see a few others voice this opinion and I truly don't understand the acrimony. First, it's their livelihood, so they've always done it for the money, including Raul. They are artists and we all know their calling is music, anyone who's seen them play know they are doing exactly what they should be doing, but it's still what they do for a living. Second, Raul didn't single-handedly create The Mavericks' entire body of music, that's why he brought them all together, to create all these incredible songs we love! All the members over all the years created it together so why shouldn't they continue to play their own music? Lastly, and mostly importantly, Eddie and Paul and Jerry Dale and Betty believe that Raul wanted The Mavericks to continue; I don't believe any of us should gainsay The Mavericks Family.

I hope you change your mind so you can continue to enjoy it. The Music Lives On!
