Every Sunday afternoon the sound of
Cruisin' With Crosno floated along the lower Rio Grande Valley... El
Paso, Las Cruces, Hatch, Hot Springs, Anthony, Canutillo, Clint,
Fabens, Tornillo. North to Alamogordo and the Tularosa basin, through
the mountain gaps west into Deming and on good days, as far as Silver
City. For those four hours the world belonged to Steve Crosno, and we
were happy to be a part of it.
Let's set the stage.... it's an
unexpectedly warm, Sunday afternoon, January 8th. 2006 in
Southwestern New Mexico. The garage door is open, the stereo receiver
is bumpin'. Shootin' hoops in the driveway, calling in dedications
to Cruisin with Crosno, firing up the grill. A snapshot of a perfect
moment. As the man himself puts it: “It's a beautiful day outside,
everything is all right”
Sadly, Steve Crosno was in the twilight
time of his life. The longtime popular radio host, arguably the most
famous on-air personality the El Paso Borderplex ever had, died on
Saturday, August 5th 2006 at his home in Mesilla Park, N.M.
