1st Anniversary Special Edition!!!

Tonight, February 23, when Latin Soul gets to its show# 45
is a very special night!

Latin Soul celecbrates his 1st Anniversary on the air at 88.9 KETR!!!

All of sudden, one year has passed and Latin Soul turned oned year old, always keeping up to its determination of bringing the best out of Latin jazz and soul, and other Latin approaches to jazz, to the North East Texan region, thanks to KETR, the public radio service of Texas A&M University-Commerce.

From here, I would like to thank to all of whom supported the idea of bringing up to life Latin Soul, and definitively to all of you who tune in on Tuesdays night looking forward to explore and enjoy the precious sounds that I try to bring in for every show.

It has been one year, and I am looking forward to many more!

Highlights of the show:

Obviously, all the tunes have been highlights tonight. The actual highlights came from all the listeners and friends who came to station to have their kind words and congratulations recorded to be heard during the show tonight. To all of you, thank you very much, your words were touching. And as I always say, it is my pleasure to have been there one more night, thank you for tuning in, I will be back next week with another good (I try) edition of Latin Soul.
