Many native Texans, such as Oran "Hot Lips" Page, the Teagarden jazz dynasty, and Tex Beneke, who led the Glen FROM 3 Miller Orchestra, were involved in other areas of the music as well. One of the most important was guitarist Charlie Christian, a brilliant musician whose pioneering work on electric guitar opened new doors for the music, as did the fact that he integrated the music when Benny Goodman MII.LION asked him to join his already successful band, effectively knocking down the racial barrier. When Texas jazz moved into the 1950s it broke off in two directions of its own -the "free jazz" experimentation of Fort Worth's Omette Coleman and the smooth commercial PEOPLE sound of Houston's Jazz Crusaders. Coleman's branch of the tree, represented by Ronald Shannon Jackson, Dewey Redman and others, continues to grow in importance while the Crusaders' branch, carried on by fellow Houstonians like Hubert Laws and Kirk Whalum, continues to sell well. Blues was the natural companion to jazz, but while jazz LIVING musicians usually left the state for professional opportuni- ties, the bluesmen continued to ply their trade on the home ground. From Houston's Third Ward to Dallas' "Deep El- lum" district, from Galveston's red light district to the piney 40 woods of Fast Texas, blues flourished in Texas from the WITHIN turn of the century. Once again Texans were in the forefront as Blind Lemon Jefferson became the first country bluesman to record, wax- ing more than 80 tunes between 1925 and 1929. It was the highly popular work of the legendary Huddie Ledbetter, MINUTES. known professionally as Leadbelly, that focused attention on the genre, however. A long line of Texas blues masters, including an impressive array of female stars like Victoria Spivey, Sippie Wallace and emigre Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thomton, provided the early blues continuity. As time passed, Lightnin' Hopkins, the king of Houston blues, and rural blues genius Mance Lipscomb kept the old blues tradition alive, but it was the music of Aaron "T- Bone" Walker that had the most impact.

My first appearance at the Armadillo was to a rambunctious crowd of nearly 2,000 (the fire code was 800). We played pure country, rock, folk music, everything we knew how to do. Bob Johnston, Bob Dylan's producer, came down from Nashville to pursuade me to cut some demos which later became an album called "Geronimo's Cadillac." Then Jerry Jeff Walker moved to Austin from New York and Steve Fromholtz with some of his Colorado buddies. Suddenly, the record companies started paying attention, watching us in a loose kind of way. I clearly remember the day Willie Nelson arrived on the scene -a clean shaven, short- haired fellow in a sharkskin suit and tie. I had been a fan of Willie's for years, ever since heard him sing his versions of "Nightlife" and "Crazy," but we thought Willie was too straight and "establishment coun- try" for Austin. When Willie finally played the Armadillo, he had started to grow his now famous hair and beard to fit in with what was going on there. And he was a smash success. At this same time, Jerry Jeff Walker started to gain a larg- er audience. He just hooked a deal with MCA and recorded his landmark album "Viva Terlingua," though it never yield- ed a solid radio hit. Willie was without a record deal then. My album had produced one hit single, but my second al- bum "Cosmic Cowboy" was considered too country for FM radio and too strange for country radio. Then there was Wil- lie's watershed event -"The Dripping Springs Reunion" - which changed the Austin music scene forever. Willie be- came known as the pied piper of Austin's new country rock fans. Austin was on the map. Record companies were every- where. But his single "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" and my song "Wildfire" were still considered pop hits primarily. The trend we had started took years to finally break through to the true country market. What happened in Austin back then seems to be happen- ing in country music all over again. There's a new intelli- gence, a new sense of basics, an energetic appeal to the young. Honesty and fun like we had in the earlier days of Austin music will be the key to what's around the bend.

BILLBOARD JULY 5, 1986 T-15 www.americanradiohistory.com DEEP ELLUM (Continued from page T-8) consists of three clubs -The Theatre Gallery, The Prophet Bar and The Scene -and maybe a dozen bands, along with Kenny Dale no more than 100 or so consistent scenemakers. Like the fans, some of the underground musicians hail from affluent backgrounds; but many have abandoned the good life for and Deep Ellum's warehouse lofts or the Mitchell Building's shoebox apartments, which rent for $75 a month. No one makes any money off the scene, and for now, no one seems to care. brds Less than two years ago, Theatre Gallery owner Russell Hobbs threw a keg party in the building and booked a fledg- ling band called the End (now End Over End) to play on the rickety stage. The band's high school buddies showed up in Building full force -some sporting vicious no -wave hairstyles, but others garbed in pearls and Polo shirts. From that moment onward, says End Over End vocalist/guitarist Tench Coxe, "We knew we were at the most open club in town. Today we could probably play at a few other Dallas spots, but they'd want us to turn down the volume and play a few cov- ers. At the Deep Ellum scene, we can be ourselves." The new presence of Dallas yuppiedom in Deep Ellum Texa s has been crucial to the scene's success. Since the Theatre Gallery has no liquor license, minors are permitted -and, in fact, the suburban teenagers comprise a majority of the club's draw. The "bleaching" of Deep Ellum has also eased city government tensions toward the district, resulting in Tradition police raids. fewer restrictions and But North Dallas' greatest contribution to the under- ground has been the music itself. As it turns out, the finest local bands consist of under-21 musicians who have know 512 -654 -8773 each other since high school. At the Deep Ellum clubs, says Theatre Gallery and Prophet Bar booking agent Jeff Liles, 10452 Sentinel "The musicians are still cutting their teeth. They don't have San Antonio any road experience or any reputation to go on, and you can tell that most of the bands still don't know when to end 78217 their own songs. "But I think one of the reasons they're so good is because of their background. You know, they see their parents as success symbols, so they keep at it. They know that it's not impossible to attain success." And success seems likely for at least four Deep Ellum bands: End Over End, the Tress, Three On A Hill and Shal- low Reign. The groups have in common youth (their medi- an age is about 19), musicianship and songwriting skills which belie their age, and a sort of unjaded comraderie.

( "We make a point of going to each other's gigs and hang- ing out together," says Shallow Reign guitarist Bob Watson of the four bands.) But they don't sound at all like each oth- er-or, for that matter, like anything associated with "south - em music," old or new. None of these bands is two years old, but each has already found an original musical identity. For now, the Dallas underground doesn't seem preoccu- pied with upward mobility. "They're purely dedicated to their music," says Jeff Liles. "Sometimes they don't even bother to pick up their money after the gig." Adds Bob Wat- son of Shallow Reign, "We're just trying to develop at our own pace. The audiences here are real forgiving -they'll still clap even if you botch up a song. But that kind of forgive- ness just makes us want to get better and better." As record companies begin to take notice of the Deep Ellum scene, the kind of backbiting and petty squabbles to which Austin bands occasionally fall prey may also afflict the Consider Us For Your Dallas underground.

With the ascension of New Sincerity, indies have become a growth industry in Austin. Entrepreneurial Texans have grown weary of waiting on major labels to stamp their ap- proval on Texas acts, and leery of trusting them when they do. Says Ed Ward, music columnist for Austin's Third Coast magazine and one of the state's most knowledgeable music critics, "Major labels don't understand the community and the artistic value of local bands. If you're doing anything new or different, you're going to be doing it on an indie." And Austin indies are indeed accomplishing the new and different these days. They're filling their catalogs with excel- lent but underexposed bands who, for one reason or anoth- er, don't interest the conservative majors. Thanks to a group of indies ranging in focus from r &b to rockabilly to popabil- ly to New Sincerity to hardcore to modem pop to jazz, the Austin scene has begun to develop national clout like those in Athens, Ga.; Winston- Salem, N.C.; and Minneapolis. A tour of the city's indies necessitates pitstops at Bruce Sheehan's Jungle Records (home to the LeRoi Brothers, Evan Johns and the H- Bombs, and the first incarnation of Big Guitars From Texas, nominated for a Grammy in '85 for the song "Guitar Army "); Yanaway and Cass Hook's Amazing Records (former Mother of Invention Jimmy Carl

The Studios at Las Colinas have hosted hundreds of TV and commercial projects, tour rehearsals and recording ventures that have brought to Dal- las such talents as Julian Lennon, James Taylor, Leon Rus- sell, Willie Nelson, Phil Collins, David Bowie, the Everly THE Brothers, ZZ Top, and Eric Clapton. The Dallas Sound Lab studio reports a constant stream of talents visiting its new state of the art structure. In fact, the JOE & HARRY music business percentage of the Dallas Communications Complex is still growing -it's now 70% commercials, 20% music and 10% feature film work. FREEMAN Crow, who is on the Texas Music Commission, has been extremely supportive of the state's music industry, and he has scoffed down critics who are quick to point out that his millions of dollars have yet to pull a profit. Crow refuses to COLISEUM panic -instead he looks to the future where he feels the profits will be formidable. He's like a metaphor for the opti- mistic- thinking people of the entire state of Texas.

Mark White, has been establishing itself as an effective No matter what the event, your ticket for success is with the Joe & Harry Freeman Colise- organization.

"As a company, we've been involved in digital recording since 1979," he says. "We were the first digital recording company in Texas and still are the most advanced in Texas." TV special and movie work, documen- taries and videos complement the income from recording projects, as Moran estimates 85% of his time is spent with music related projects. 'We take a very personal and in- volved approach to our clients." Houston's economy? "It's pretty shabby," admits Moran, who adds his own business has felt little impact from the economic doldrums "mainly because we're not heavily in- volved in commercials and industrial production." Proving that this isn't a fatal time to launch new projects, Lucky Tomblin has seen his Fire Station Studios take off hotter than a five -alarm blaze. The San Marcos studio, actu- ally housed in a renovated fire station, has been a hotbed of activity since its opening last December. "We've been jammed ever since," exudes Tomblin, the owner. "We've had one project after another, including Jerry Jeff Walker, Omar & the Howlers, Asleep At The Wheel, Will Sexton and J.D. Souther."

He is also referred to as a at without traditional fran- downright hilarious look "franchiser" chisees. More than 85% of his members pay $80 monthly and a 1% "billing" for participation in AVA. Power defines one man's untimely death. "billing" as the commission or fee the customer pays for the right to buy "UPS- size" shipments from his 10,000 -square -foot Mesa, Ariz., ware- house. Members may also purchase mer- chandise directly from more than 60 designated video wholesalers across the U.S. Distributors contact Power, who includes their specials in his newsletter. Merchandise is shipped C.O.D. to AVA members, either by Power or the participating distribu- tors. Power has been active in Arizona retail for many years, both as a deal- er and a consultant. During the late '70s, he sensed that budding video re- tailers had a need for a buying, man- agement, and information service. Experimenting with that concept, Power picked out a universe of sever- al thousand such specialty stores across the country and mailed those dealers a newsletter about the still - young industry. After mailing it gratis for five months, he advised the 500 dealers on his list they would have to pay $86 for an 18 -month membership if they wanted to continue receiving the newsletter. Formerly a K -mart em- ployee, he recalls that he picked the offbeat pricing numbers to attract in- terest. The strategy failed initially, as his mailing list took a nosedive down to 50 active members. Powers then took a new tack. He bought a small truck and started making weekly round trips to Los Angeles, buying discounted merchan- dise to feature in his newsletter. By the end of the first year, 150 mem- bers- primarily VCR dealers-were working closely with AVA. "It actually took us three years to get into the black," says Power. "About that time, I decided to seek capitalization from my members. I ©1986 New World Video had put out over $200,000 from my own pocket to fund AVA. I offered a Harry Joy get him down.

BY FRANK LOVECE A biweekly survey of technical de- velopments in the hardware and software sides of the home video industry.

WHAT A GREAT NEW IDEA: television sets with VCRs or simpler videocassette players (VCPs) built right in! No muss, no fuss, no wires. Sony's introduction several months ago of a high -end, 25 -inch TV with 'r « an 8mm VCR built in apparently They ré . and captured the imagination of some y smallish video -hardware marketers interested in making a splash - Goldstar, Lloyd's, and Supra, among others, have recently intro- duced TV -VCR and TV -VCP com- waiting for orders. bos. The video industry is watching this latest development through be- mused eyes- bemused, because the idea hasn't worked yet in 14 years. Way before Beta, the first strictly home -consumer video format, Car- trivision, came in just such pack- ages. Marketed in 1972 by Admiral, Emerson, Montgomery Ward /Air- line, Packard Bell, and most notably Sears, Cartrivision consoles inte- grated a VCR and a 25 -inch color TV. The Cartrivision cartridge itself looked like the video equivalent of 8- track tape -and the Cartrivision format fared even less well than that virtually defunct audiotape for- mat. Despite technology quite ad- vanced for the time -including ste- reo capability and eight-hour /one- event programmable recording timers -these awkward, $1,500- $2,500 consoles soon passed away. Sony nonetheless brought Beta to life in a similar configuration. The model LV -1901 19 -inch TV -VCR con- sole, now a collector's item, bowed in 1975 at the improbable suggested list price of $1,260. Sony dropped this first Beta machine the follow- ing year, introducing, for the same price, the model SL -7200 stand- alone VCR. Not learning from history, how- ever, the regional retail -store chain Curtis Mathes marketed a house - brand TV -VCR combo in the VHS format. The little -known model C648, from 1977, was a combination two /four -hour VCR, 25-inch TV set and stereo audio system. (The video portion was monaural, however.) This $2,900 megaconsole came and went so quickly, even few people at Curtis Mathes remember it today. By then, VCR marketers knew enough to concentrate on stand- alone VCRs. Most consumers were unwilling to experiment with a new- fangled electronic appliance that took up half the living room and cost so much, and few felt the need to replace their existing TV sets. Marketing kinks endemic to almost all new products were an additional factor. In fact, Technicolor's 1981 model 335T Video Showcase, a cute little TV -VCR minicombo, suffered from just those kinds of new prod- uct problems. It was in the old CVC (Compact Video Cassette) quarter - inch format that predated 8mm and may just have been ahead of its time. (Hitachi, incidentally, had a similar VHS -format minieombo, but minus the TV tuner and with a screen intended only for video cam- era monitoring and tape playback.) (Continued on next page)

FAST FORWARD (Con tinucd from preceding page) The current crop of TV -VCRs and TV -VCPs aren't burdened, howev- er, by most of the old consoles' spe- cific problems. Eight millimeter seems to be an accepted third for- mat, and VCRs themselves are no longer mysterious or exclusively high -end. Distribution channels are far more entrenched now than in 1972 or 1975. The size factor is no Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin longer a problem -TV -VCR or TV/ VCP combos are virtually no bigger led America's elite anti -terrorist than ordinary TV sets, and Bacardi subsidiary Lloyd's even offers a squad to a rousing box office tri- $700 TV -VCP.

Los Angeles, California Lack of versatility, for instance. Where early video consumers hadn't been exposed to stand -alone VCRs that could be hooked up to any TV set in the house, today's consumers expect to be able to mix - and -match different brands of TVs and VCRs. Another problematic factor is the relatively low cost of even fully loaded VCRs.

Included in Fries' purchase of Prism is Fox /Lorber Associates, the syndication and programming marketing company the home video manufacturer purchased ealier this year.

She says negotia- tions on the deal went on for about 90 days. Prism's business performance in recent months has been strong enough to attract attention. For its fiscal first quarter, which ended on April 30, Prism saw its sales in- crease to $6.818 million from $5.359 million the year before. First quar- ter earnings rose to $411,000, or 18 cents a share, from $183,000 or 12 cents a share last year. The strong growth was attribut- ed by Prism to the success of its "Video Collection" low- priced li- censed product line. The company expects the performance of Fox/ Lorber to add to its strength through the rest of the year.

www.americanradiohistory.com HOT 100 SINGLES SPOTLIGHT

A weekly look behind the Hot 100 with Michael Ellis.

BILLY OCEAN RIDES GAINS in both sales and airplay points to the top of the Hot 100 this week with "There'll Be Sad Songs" (Jive). Fellow English artists Simply Red are close behind with "Holding Back the Years" (Elektra) and should compete with Ocean and "Who's Johnny" by El DeBarge (Gordy) for No. 1 next week. Simply Red is well ahead of DeBarge in sales, but the two are about even in radio points. Janet Jackson's "Nasty" (A &M), the second top five single from her No. 1 album "Control," and "Invisible Touch" by Genesis (Atlantic) are strong contenders for the top in the coming weeks.

GENESIS SHARES WITH Peter Cetera (Warner Bros.) the honor of being on the most Billboard reporting stations this week; both are on the playlists of 224 of the 226 radio reporters. This is outstanding air- play for Cetera given that his "Glory Of Love" is just entering the top 20 after being Power Pick /Airplay last week. Cetera's single is top five at five reporting stations and top 10 at dozens more, including WBBM- FM Chicago and WINZ Miami. Last week's Hot Shot Debut, Madon- na's "Papa Don't Preach" (Sire), is this week's Power Pick /Airplay. It moves up seven places to No. 35, with great early jumps at radio, in- cluding 28 -17 at Z -100 New York, 21 -10 at WMMS Cleveland, and 20 -5 at KZZP Phoenix. Jermaine Stewart (Arista), up to No. 29, is the airplay runner -up, with tremendous radio jumps being reported all over the country. The record is top five at 13 reporting stations. Among the hot spots: Houston, San Antonio, Charleston, S.C., and markets in Pennsyl- vania, Florida, and California. The biggest gainer in new adds is Ban - anarama's "Venus" (London), with more than 50 adds and a 10 -place jump at WMMS Cleveland (37 -27) helping to fuel a 32-place jump nation- ally, to No. 57.

"SECRET SEPARATION" by the Fixx (MCA) moves five places to No. 31 on strong sales reports and earns the Power Pick /Sales this week. The two runners -up are Rod Stewart's "Love Touch" (Warner Bros.) and Belinda Carlisle's "Mad About You" (I.R.S.), which is espe- cially strong on the West Coast. KIIS Los Angeles MD Gene Sand - bloom says Carlisle's record is a top- five-selling 7 -inch and top -10-sell- ing 12 -inch single. "It really captures the whole summertime vacation beach scene," Sandbloom says. AMONG THE NINE debuts this week are Wham!'s final record, "Edge Of Heaven" (Columbia), which is the Hot Shot Debut at No. 47, and the reunion record for Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz of the Mon - kees (Arista) at No. 88. One unique debut is "Friends And Lovers" by Your singles ad HERE Gloria Loring & Carl Anderson (Carrere), featured on the TV soap opera "Days Of Our Lives." The record enters at No. 77, mostly from sales rather than from airplay. Among the early radio stations playing sells Radio... and Retailers the tune is WSPK Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where it's No. 1.
