In the latest episode of the Lucky Barn Series, Edna Vazquez and Luz Elena Mendoza (Y La Bamba) sing “Por Un Amor,” a song written by Gilberto Parra Paz and performed by Linda Ronstadt, among others.

Edna Vazquez talks about a trick she learned from her grandparents at a very young age to conquer fear, and how she has carried that into her songwriting. We also get to hear Edna’s inspirational perspective on being true to yourself and your gifts regardless of external circumstances.
