Six-year-old Jessy Montoya practices her violin in Old Town on Friday afternoon. Because she lives near Old Town, she sometimes will join mariachi bands playing on the plaza. Jessy has been playing for a year and half. Her mother, Barbara Montoya, also takes Jessy to practice at the University of New Mexico. (Roberto E. Rosales/Journal)
