4/26/2019

Retired police detective and international consultant J. R. “Randy” Lonsway returned to the show to talk about his third book in his Bela Garcia series, The Mack Daddy Affair.

After straight-arrow Police Chief Don Davis is diagnosed with cancer and takes medical leave, weak and power-hungry Deputy Chief Clarence Cotter takes over the department—complicating Bela’s efforts to solve the case.

4/10/2019

C. W. Ayon was NOLAGirl's special guest on the April 10th edition of Shades of the Blues, starting at 7 pm.

C. W. is a native New Mexican but his soul is rooted in the blues of the Mississippi Blues Country. After learning how to play the guitar (with help from his wife, Carol, a trained musician) C. W. brought his blues influence to a few Las Cruces bands in the mid- 2000s. After those bands disbanded, C. W. opted to go solo and developed a one-man-band approach, accompanying his guitar playing and singing with his own beats on a simple simple kick/snare and tambourine setup.

Besides his live performances, C. W. has been releasing albums since 2009. He's won two New Mexico Music Awards - best blues song for "Seen My Baby" in 2010 and "End of My Rope" in 2013.
