  • The Whole Scale Thing by Randy Wimer
    The Whole Scale Thing By Randy Wimer With profoundest thanks to John Nicholas who has proofread, edited, occasion- ally ridiculed and overall been a tremendous friend and supporter as I’ve tried to put on paper some of the things I’ve learned in five decades of teaching gui- tar. 1 The Whole Scale Thing Introduction What is a scale? Is it the “Do, a deer, a female deer; Re, a drop of golden sun” stuff? (Have I just de- stroyed my street cred by quoting a Rogers and Hammerstein tune in the opening paragraph?) Why do gui- tarists get to a certain point in their development and start to obsess about these things? A scale, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, is “an ascending or descending collection of pitches proceeding by a specified scheme of intervals”. (Anyone who has survived a college ear-training class understands those scheming intervals.) So, a scale is indeed the Do, a Deer stuff, and it is much more. “Scheme of Intervals” just means an organized pattern of intervals, or musical spaces, which can repeat over several octaves. Guitarists, as well as some people who play real musical instruments, obsess over scales because blasting through a scale pattern at near relativistic speed is a great way to display one’s tech- nical superiority, humiliate the competition and attract a mate, thus ensuring the survival of the genetic line. The poor creatures have no choice – it’s in their DNA. Before we get to the serious fun, let’s cover some basics , just to makes sure we have a common vo- cabulary.

    S P R I N G ‘13 T P • 1 S P R I N G ‘13 More than meets the eye in the rider, his horse, and his dog ~jason taylor, Pastor, Bar-None CC, Henderson, Texas; Vice President, AFCC In this life we only get a few friends, hopefully a good spouse and decent kids to travel with. To a cowboy there are a couple “Travelin’ Partners” that he must have: a good horse and a loyal dog. For the most part, a cowboy can make do if he has to with just those two Travelin’ Partners. No matter what wreck he gets in, a good horse will get him out. And no matter how bad he feels, or what’s broke, a good ol’ dog can make him smile. This was given to me at the graveside of a true cowboy. As the closing prayer was being said, in a cold drizzle, I looked out and there his horse and dog stood, staring at the wooden box that held their master’s body. Now, in, those two Travelin’ Partners who had gone as far as they could, God showed me the Trinity. The Father is the Master. The Son is the horse that hauled the sins of the world, and will come get us one day. The Holy Spirit is the dog. He will guide, guard and comfort along the trail of life. I pray this magazine makes the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit more reachable by folks in our culture, and helps unify His Body as we come to know one another better.

  • DANIEL ROMANO If I’Ve Only One Time Askin’ (New West Records)
    DANIEL ROMANO If I’ve Only One Time Askin’ (New West Records) A swirling flourish of strings whirls around a noir cocktail of stately country elegance of classic piano and brass flourishes, as a voice emerges from the stale smoke and dim lights equally trenchant resolve and raw ache. Daniel Romano, slightly behind the beat, offers a chivalrous promise of avengement to the man who broke a tender heart on “I’m Gonna Teach You.” Time is one thing the Welland, Ontario native Daniel Romano has a slippery relationship with. Not a retro preservationist, nor a post-modern cowpunk, the songwriter Robert Christgau described as having “a voice that’s sometimes so deep it serves as its own mournful echo chamber” embraces classicism and sadness in its extremes to create something beyond nostalgia on If I’ve Only One Time Askin’. Whether it’s the John Prine character sketchery of the miscasting romantic “Two Word Joe,” the Laurel Canyon countrygrass – equal parts Neil Young a la Harvest and the Flying Burritos’ Gilded Palace of Sin -- of “Strange Faces,” featuring Caitlin Rose, or the accordion’n’fiddle heartbreak waltz “If You Go Your Way (I’ll Go Blind).” “I’ve been known to take some liberties in the sadness department,” Romano admits. “Anything can be reality if you let it percolate in your brain... But you can’t take it to a place where it has literally happened to no one. You see people, you hear people, you know people – and it’s all there!” All there, indeed. Romano, who got his start in punk bands before taking his songcraft into waters populated by French pop, Lefty Frizzell, ‘80s country, Leonard Cohen’s grace and Bob Dylan’s shape-shifting, casts a vast net.
