Held at Scholz Garten (http://www.scholzgarten.net/) this year, there was a big turnout for both the board meeting and the concert after. Parking was a puzzle since that free parking thing in the adjoining garage was suspended because of a nearby of collegiate event. Graduation, I suspect. Sam Dunn, current CTBA president, called the meeting to order and got down to the business at hand. Gloria Brayshaw, Secretary, presented the minutes from the past meeting into the current minutes and they were accepted unanimously. Duane Calvin, Treasurer, brought us up-to-date on the financial condition of the organization which, as expected, is not bad. Chuck Middleton gave us an update on the membership totals. About 215 fine folks have aligned themselves with this outfit. Eddie Collins, Vice-President, presented a substantial list of events that CTBA supported during 2012; activities that you don’t think about too much at the time but when you see it all gathered up, you see that CTBA did a great job of staying connected and giving back: • Health Alliance for Austin-area Musicians (HAAM) • Music Camp Scholarships for youth • The Texas Pickin’ Park, Fayetteville TX • RiceGrass, Fischer TX • Fiddler’s Green’s November Pickin’ In The Park • Old Settler’s Music Festival, Driftwood TX • Bluegrass Heritage Foundation, Arlington, TX • International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA, Nashville, TN) • KOOP Radio’s “Strictly Bluegrass” program, Austin, TX • Special one-time events, (Bill Monroe’s 100th Birthday Celebration -2011, “O Brother’s” 10th Anniversary-2010) • CTBA Special General Membership Free Concert, Scholz Garten, Austin, TX • AFTM’s Fall String Band Festival, Driftwood TX • CTBA’s Annual Band Scramble at Waterloo, Austin, TX • Llano’s Bluebell & Bluegrass Festival • Scholz weekly open jam session • Bi-weekly Beginner/Intermediate jam at Café Express We were reminded that there is a form on the CTBA website at http://www.centraltexasbluegrass. org/docs/gn_houston_austin.pdf that you can fill out and give to the Randall’s customer service folks that will designate 1% of your purchases to go to CTBA. Hey, you get to shop and support your favorite bluegrass association. It’s remarkable! Central Texas Bluegrass Association 3 Ya gotta admit, we’ve had our hands in a lot of really good stuff! And, I’m sure there’s more to come. Hey, we’ve got a whole ‘nother year coming up. Speaking of new stuff coming up: CTBA is proud to announce new board members for the coming year: Jenn Miori, Stacy Holt, Jacob Roberts, and Adam Roberts. Tracie Upham finished out a term for someone who resigned and she was elected to her own full two-year term this time This leaves the CTBA Board in good stead with the maximum number of 10 board members. Jenn plays guitar and sings vocals in The Carper Family. As for her involvement in the CTBA, Jenn says, “I am looking forward to being more involved in the Bluegrass community and learning more about planning bluegrass events and bringing in national acts. I hope that I can find ways to create more avenues for people in join the CTBA as members and as corporate sponsors.” Stacy plays guitar, bass, banjo, and mandolin. Stacy says, “I would like to see CTBA continue to grow, especially with younger folks, and provide the commu- nity with more Bluegrass outlets and events.” Tracie plays mandolin and provides vocal harmony. You may remember meet- ing Tracie in the November 2010 Artist Profile. Tracey says, “I would love to bring more bluegrass events to Central Texas. I’m still amazed by what is hap- pening in Farmers’ Branch. (Maybe we could) offer picking contests - I think we should work toward moving the Winfield sanctioned state contests to Central Texas where more pickers can compete. And, I would really like to increase the turnout at our local jams.” Adam plays Mandolin as well as doing vocals. He says, “First my goal is to be a member of a productive CTBA board for the next two years. I am most inter- ested in promoting bluegrass. I would like to see CTBA events that attract new members as well as keep existing members interested and involved.” Jacob plays guitar, bass, and does vocals as well. When asked about his in- volvement in CTBA, Jacob said, “For the short time I’ve been involved in CTBA, I’ve met a lot of great people that have ideas for growing and promoting Blue- grass music in the area. So, I plan on adding my support by helping out any way I can. I hope to continue to meet with other Bluegrass fans and learn how to better promote and preserve Bluegrass.” 4 Central Texas Bluegrass Association Continuing board members for 2013 include Eddie Collins, Duane Calvin, Joshua Upham, Coleman Stephens and Chuck Middleton. Those who joined the CTBA or renewed their membership before the event were entered in the drawings for various “collector quality” prizes including: Brett Morgan: South Austin Music Gift Certificate Stephen Mangold: Geoff Union “Cold As Steel” CD Lenny Nichols: CTBA Shirt The grand prize was a Sea Gull dreadnaught guitar w/hardshell case do- nated by long-time CTBA supporter and the grand prize winner was Wayne Ross. Way to go, Doc! Overall, the central theme that repeated throughout the meeting was that your Central Texas Bluegrass Association is rock solid and being managed by people who love the music, love the as- sociation, and are dedicated to ensuring its success. Yes, there was a time when the future of CTBA was in question. Not any more. The professionalism and commitment are at the highest level. It just makes your proud. And, it should. Because, at that level of service, and remember they’re all volunteers, there is safety, there is trust, and there is growth. Not just for the association, but for the entire bluegrass movement in central Texas. After a few additional business items, the motion to adjourn was made, a second was heard, and so we did. We adjourned to the courtyard for some outstanding performances. And Then There Was Music! Can you put that much good talent and music in one place and you head still not explode? Es- pecially when you include good food? The bands who played at Scholz’s Garten after the CTBA board meeting were fantastic.

  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.

  • Steep Canyon Rangers Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2, 2017
    Media Contact: Casey Blake 480-644-6620 [email protected] Steep Canyon Rangers Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2, 2017 Mesa, AZ (October 5, 2017) – GRAMMY® Award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers will perform live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and available at the Mesa Arts Center box office, MesaArtsCenter.com or by calling 480-644-6500. Steep Canyon Rangers effortlessly walk the line between festival favorite and sophisticated string orchestra. They’re as danceable as the most progressive, party-oriented string band, and equally comfortable translating their songs for accompaniment by a full symphony. It’s that mix of serious chops and good-natured fun that earned the Steep Canyon Rangers the GRAMMY® Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2013 (for "Nobody Knows You"), and that drew celebrated comedian/banjoist Steve Martin to them when he needed a backing band. The Rangers are world-class musicians who are just as at home taking the stage at Carnegie Hall as they are knee-deep in a mountain brook, fly rod in hand. It has been more than fifteen years and nine studio albums since the Steep Canyon Rangers formed in Chapel Hill. The band received rave reviews for their last album (the Jerry Douglas- produced "Radio"), with No Depression commenting that it is "one of those albums that’s packed with hits." Now, in 2017, the band is working on their highly anticipated tenth studio album. “It’s really gratifying to play music with people you can trust, who hear something and pull what’s best out of it into something truly special,” says banjoist Graham Sharp.

  • Curly Seckler & the Steep Canyon Rangers
    Curly Seckler & The Steep Canyon Rangers A Bluegrass Legend Teams with the Hottest Young Band on the Scene Today! THE MASTER Curly Seckler is regarded as one of the greatest tenor singers ever in bluegrass. In 2004 he was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Hall of Fame. Born in 1919, Curly began his musical odyssey in 1935, performing on radio in Salisbury, NC. Early in his career, Curly worked with Charlie Monroe, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Mac Wiseman, The Sauceman Brothers and The Stanley Brothers, before settling into his best-known role as mandolin player and tenor singer with Flatt & Scruggs’s Foggy Mountain Boys. Over the next dozen years, Curly recorded well over 100 songs with them, including many of their most popular hits. The Lester Flatt/Curly Seckler duets from the 1950s are still considered to be among the best bluegrass performances ever. Curly remained with Flatt & Scruggs until 1962. In 1971 he recorded his first solo album on County Records, and by 1973 he had reunited with Lester Flatt in his band, The Nashville Grass. When Flatt passed away in 1979, Curly took over leadership of the Nashville Grass for another fifteen years. Though Curly retired from active touring in 1994, he continued to make occasional appearances at festivals and concerts. Still a vibrant, creative, and charming entertainer, in 2004 he made his first new recordings in ten years. Down In Caroline, released on Copper Creek in the fall of 2005, was a finalist for IBMA Recorded Event of the Year. Curly’s latest CD, Bluegrass, Don’t You Know, was named one of the Top 10 Bluegrass CDs of 2006 by The Chicago Tribune.
