Carlos was right this is a historic day indeed for conjunto music. Bob the music sounds fantastic, it is like a dream come true to alot of us fans, thanks a million
Carlos, many thanks to you and all the Canasta.com messageboarders for the kind comments.
The phones are ringing off the hook this morning, and we couldn't be happier. We knew this day was coming and are soooooo excited.
La Tejana 105.9 is here to stay! Obviously, the longevity of any radio format rides on ratings and advertising, and we feel FM factor will definitely give us a huge boost. But being second-generation Conjunto guys, Jerry and I were always aware that the Alice - Kingsville - Corpus Christi corridor is one of the true last bastions of traditional conjunto regional. Aqui esta la mera mata de Conjunto!!
Again, we humbly ask for your support. You can do this in a number of ways. Advertise, listen, or attend our events!
