Chicano Music Chronicles

     This page contains twelve shows I produced and hosted for my internet radio series "Chicano Music Chronicles, originally broadcast in 2006 on crnlive.com.  I spotlight one artist per show and play my favorite recordings by that artist.  I also interview the artists about the recordings and their careers.  The only shows of the twelve below on which I did not have a guest, are the show about my dad, Lalo  Guerrero, who had passed away before the inception of my show, and the show on my own music.
