Back from Texas
Zach and I had a fun time in South Texas visiting family. It reached 100+ degrees everyday, but thanks to the dry nature of that region, it didn't seem so oppressive. However, a strong hurricane might just pass through that area very soon -- which would be perhaps the only one in that area since the early 1970s. Though they could use some rain, this could potentially be dangerous-- I hope it isn't.
Of course, we did manage to find some new goodies that were found in different towns and cities such as Corpus Christi, Kingsville (home of the famous King Ranch), Refugio, Victoria, El Campo. The Texas Coastal Bend and expansive flatland, big sky, brushy wilderness that helped a corrupt Lyndon B. Johnson take his first role as public official was the area that made for some excellent rock and roll, Mexican American Soul, and the oft-discussed Border Radio stations that NPR hosts seem to discuss a lot-- We will be spotlighting some of the aforementioned this week on the radio show.
So, please tune in if you can to WMUH this friday from Noon-2pm.
I also have to take time out and say that it will be a shame to lose our friend and fellow wmuh dj Tony ( http://acbleach.blogspot.com ), who will be moving at the end of this week to start a new chapter as an educator at a University in North Carolina. A very warm, intelligent and genuine person; he has also continued to wow the both of us with his radio show -- which was the closest equivalent to an on-air dance party i can think of!
