An old roommate and friend Carlton is in the studio to talk to us about an array of things from his past, school, military service, travel, the list goes on and on with this gentleman. New unheard stories and revelations are unfolded during this conversation, but part of that could be due to my bad memory...who knows? Either way, get comfy, light the hookah, grab a nice cold glass of water and some M&Ms and enjoy my conversation with Carlton Jefferson III, and as always, like, comment, share, subscribe, rate, and review if you enjoy the content.

Rounding out this Mariachi March with Joanna Alvarez, a long time friend and a very talented woman who has a voice that rivals the greats. She has been through a lot in her life and has made it through with music and her kids being a guiding light. She has outside the box thinking and is very impressive in what she has overcome thanks to this not so standard approach to things. So on that note, sit back with some chile covered mango slices and a michelada and enjoy my conversation with Joanna, and as always, like, comment, share, subscribe, rate, and review if you enjoy the content.Thank you all for watching and your continued support.Where to reach/follow Joanna,Facebook- Euforia (Group Page), Joanna Alvarez (Personal)Instagram- @euforia505nm @euforianuevomexico @joanna.r.a.Tiktok-X-Bluesky-YouTube-Threads-LinkedIn-Email- joannaalvarezreyes@ymail.comPhone- (505) 204-2618 To book EuforiaBusiness- Euforia on FB Messenger for more informationWebsite-Linktree-Watch my other videos on my other channels:Vlogs & Travel - @James-of-all Vehicles & Travel - @Toy-bB Her Nails, My Commentary - @sarahsnails EMAIL- OJESPodcast@gmail.comMy Socials:Facebook - @JamesGraves-BrownInstagram - @ojespodcastFollow the podcast on Spotify, Google pods, Amazon music, or anywhere else you get your podcasts.

This is a great conversation with a great friend, Santiago Romero. He is a very accomplished professional Mariachi, a bow hunter, a philosophy fan, and a wonderful human being. We get deep into conversation about many topics and let me tell you, this man has so many great stories. That being said I recommend you grab a tequila sunrise, a bag of chile lime corn nuts and a fruit roll up and enjoy my conversation with Santiago, and as always, like, comment, share, subscribe, rate, and review if you enjoy the content.Thank you all for watching and your continued support.
