On November 12, 1997, Canales was interviewed for the UTA Center for Mexican American Studies Oral History Project.
[10] Canales' wife, Nora, said they tried to film a pilot in 2008 but the project came to a standstill after he suffered a series of health problems including a stroke.
On March 29, 2011, Canales compiled a free show at the American Bank Center’s Selena Auditorium in Corpus Christi, Texas.
It featured performances from Grammy Award-winning acts such as Ramon Ayala, Ruben Ramos & The Texas Revolution, Los Palominos and many others.
It was recorded and edited into a pilot, which Canales planned in pitching to networks, in efforts of getting the show back on the air.
