Singer/songwriter and producer Radney Foster hails from Del Rio. The second of four children of John and Bette Foster, born in 1959, he learned to play the guitar at age 12, living in his ancestral home on Hudson Ave. in south Del Rio.

Javier Martinez is an icon of local Del Rio radio. His “Town Talk Live” is a popular hour of talking about the issues. Or, detractors would say, one hour of local political drama. He is also the founder of the local chapter of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Grayson Settle is a soft-spoken man who lets his car do his talking for him. His car or more accurately is a 1951 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery. This is a type of vehicle that was used by businesses in the late 1940’s and into the 1950’s for deliveries and other light hauling. With Podcast!

Carta Valley, a ghost town located about one-hour north of Del Rio on U.S. Highway 377, was the site of the filming of a horror film over the past two weeks. We were there and have the photos to prove it!

She took a little time out Thursday afternoon to talk briefly about the event. She also announces that the critically-acclaimed, and fast rising on the Texas music charts group, The South First Band, will be the headliner band for the event. With Podcast and VIDEO!

I may have clocked a good one on the recent poll, “With all the tornados and earthquakes happening in the World, do you believe these are the 'End Times' forecasted in the Bible?” posted this week.

It brought about a interesting discussion, led by Whirlwind, about Christianity and the U.S. Constitution, which lead further into a discussion on grey areas vs. black and white worldviews.

It's a social event with a little competition thrown in – at the dartboard.
