Roscoe and Willie had a big crowd down to the Memorial Day blues 57 festival.  Roscoe and Willie had everyone dancing and singing the blues. Some of the most famous blues singers were there.

Willie:  This is what we always wanted to do and talked about doing, Rosco. Having a union of blues entertainers.

Rosco:  Yeah, it should help radio business.

Willie:  And we shouldn't have to worry about those old so-called promoters and managers and people in the record business.

Rosco:  We ain't the record business, but we can help the musicians get work and get paid performing.

Willie:  That's right  bossman.

 But Rosco and Willie ran into some problems with the memorial day blues festival. One of their greatest entertainers on the list didn't show up. A big fight broke out indoors and Rosco and Willie got written up for owing money. All kinds of things were happening, but in the end Rosco and Willie managed to keep the music going and they entertaind the crowd themselves. They were able to pull off a successful festival that left everyone feeling happy and satisfied. The experience taught them to always be prepared for the unexpected in the world of event planning.

 Soon the festival was over.

Rosco: It was all your idea! You almost got us shut down tonight.

Willie:  You mean we, Rosco. We!  You see, that's how lies get out. Our number one entertainer didn't show up.

Rosco: But we took care of that.

Willie: There you go! We!

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
