I was so excited to speak with our next guest — Tejano icon Dr. Patsy Torres — that I forgot to hit the flashing red record button. Luckily, we still captured over an hour of one of the most heartfelt conversations we’ve ever had on Green Chili Chisme.

From her earliest memory of her grandmother making her a bottle with egg, sugar, and cinnamon, to choosing the trumpet because her sister banned the saxophone, Patsy’s story is pure Texas legend.

She talks about:

Growing up ahead of the curve in Catholic school

Her grandfather — a doctor and musician — with a closet full of instruments

Joining nearly every band outfit in high school

Forming a band with her sister

Starting pre‑med while her music career exploded

Becoming a singer by accident… and landing a #1 hit within six months

Balancing medical school with a rising career

The moment her doctor‑grandfather gave her the advice that changed her life

Our Thomas Edison vs. Thomas Jefferson rivalry

The passing of Texas legends like Augie Meyers

Her ministry, forgiveness, and relationships

Taking on the Patsy Cline persona on stage

There’s even a moment where the gremlins cut our connection — but the conversation is still incredible.

This one is special.
Dr. Patsy Torres on Green Chili Chisme — now live.

Dr. Patsy Torres — The Life, Light and Love of a Legend (But Don’t Call Her That!)

Jeff Messick – A Word Warrior at War with Words - A conversation about faith, redemption, and the power of storytelling. Author Jeff Messick joins me to talk about the darkness that shaped his first novel, the faith he found afterward, and how every word we write can become a weapon or a prayer. Two old friends, one deep conversation about purpose, prose, and grace.

Natasha James - Still Blazing New Musical Trails Some episodes stay on the rails. This one… absolutely did not. From the moment we said hello, Natasha and I were talking tacos, tequila, spirit guides, cooking, Europe, Hendrix, Joplin, and the left turn that will take her into Texas this summer. We talk childhood, culture, film sets, touring, and...

A special moment from the DB Media vaults exclusively for Green Chili Chisme

The setting? A sold‑out Granada Theater.

Onstage? The Michael Guerra Band opening for The Mavericks.

The song? One the audience had never heard before — I know, because I wrote it. And it was the first time it was ever performed live. And it was a total surprise for me in the audience taking pictures.

I gotta tell ya… when I heard that crowd react, I’ll admit it. I teared up.

Some moments stay with you forever.
