I had a lot of material to work with, although not as much archival material as I would have liked. I had many performances of Chunky playing various songs, but had to narrow it down to the best performances, both in terms of the audio quality and the choice of songs. I wanted audiences to understand the evolution of Chunky as a cultural worker coming from the small, rural community of Blythe, Calif., and then becoming part of the emerging Chicano movement that was unfolding in San Diego.
