THE JOHNNY CANALES SHOW:
If you grew up in a Tejano and Proud household, chances are the words, 'you got it, take it away' have meaning for you. The Johnny Canales show was a staple in a lot of households in Victoria on Sunday mornings.. This meant breakfast followed by church and then cleaning the house. In case you forgot, check out this video. The later years of the Johnny Canales show featured his wife, Nora, and it never felt the same.
