This week Veronica Young sits down with Ducado Vega.  Ducado is the current show producer and is celebrating is 100th bday (we kid, we kid) -- but it is his birthday and this episode is a celebration of that and more! Ducado Vega is an entertainer, songwriter, composer, author and motivational speaker and it was quite fitting turning the interview microphone on him this episode.  Enjoy a lot of fun questions such as what is Ducado's real name, why he changed it, what did Ducado sing about in Underwater and much more.  Veronica once again taps into the things most wouldn't dare ask all while enjoying a laugh or two in a fun and candid interview.  This episode features multiple songs old and new written and recorded by Ducado Vega throughout the last couple of decades.   All songs in any episode you hear are played with permission of local artists and are original works you you can hear anytime on Deepellumradio.com -- a 24/7 internet independent music station. This show is meant to uplift and support the local music community of DFW Texas with a huge emphasis on the historical neighborhood of Deep Ellum.  If you would like to be considered for this show, please email V at [email protected].

In this episode V is joined by local musician singer/songwriter, Michael Lindblom of Loyal Sally. If you are keeping up, Loyal Sally is easily one of V's favorite bands in North Texas. The group has seen a few variations whether it be a new drummer or bass player, but the two members who have always stayed the same include Michael Lindblom aka Bubba, and lifelong childhood friend, Michael Morgan aka Michael "Microphone" Lewis.  In V's first ever show season finale (you can find anywhere online) it was announced that a member of the band has departed from the group and superfan V sits down to get the scoop.  Listen in as V and  Bubba discuss the evolution of Loyal Sally from the first song up to today and who knows where Loyal Sally is headed.  Enjoy the independent music in this episode from both Michaels' solo projects, including a song from the rap/hip hop group created and short-lived by LS band members just a few years ago. You can find Loyal Sally's strong list of original tracks on Spotify, itunes, and Amazon Prime.
