Don Tosti was a pioneer of Chicano rock-and-roll music
Edmundo Martinez Tostado, born in El Paso in 1923, played with all the greats of the Swing Band era.
“Everybody’s born with talent. God doesn’t make anybody anything,” he told Mark Guerrero in a 1999 podcast. “You can pray to God all your life to make you something. He’s too busy. He’s got a lot of people. But if you want to, all you have to do is study. And you get there.”

The sculpture was the brainchild of McAllen physician Cayetano Barrera. When Barrera visited the state capitol in 2000, he noticed something missing.

Anchor desk debut! I wrote the first teases for each block (A1, B1, etc), wrote and produced the preshow. I reviewed scripts and edited them to best fit my voice/vocabulary. I prefer to stay behind the camera, but I delivered each story concisely and energetically!
