In the 1990s,             when tejano (the modern version of the conjunto style Ayala             practically invented) revisited its accordion roots, with             synthesizers often replacing the accordion, it was the great             master's sound they emulated. Now generally considered a classic             musician, Ayala has won multiple American and Latin Grammy             awards.    TICKETS:  $45, $40 and $35, available at Spotlight29.com, at the Spotlight             29 Casino Gift Shop or by calling (800) 585-3737    CONTACT:  Paul Speirs, Steinbeck Communications             (702) 413-4278, paulspeirs@cox.net
