Ronstadt, whose business acumen is described in the introduction to this section, also left his mark on entertainment. In 1889 he and several buddies formed Club Filarmónico Tucsonense, a band that for nearly a decade performed once a week in the plaza, as well as at everything from church socials to parades. Ronstadt wrote music, played piccolo and clarinet, and conducted. He recalled later that their repertoire included danzas, mazurkas, polkas, songs and serenades. The demands of business forced him to resign, but Ronstadts continue to make music. One of his daughters, Luisa Espinel, sang around the world. Her niece, Linda Ronstadt, carries on the tradition.
