This is the question I keep asking myself daily as we deal with the coronavirus pandemic. In the past, I have often turned to those that have faced what I considered to be insurmountable difficulties for the answers of how they dealt with them which is why I have chosen one of my favorite Winston Churchill quotes to find a way through this morass. In this edition of the Music Stand, I will report on how we have been dealing with shutdowns and cancellations, report on some notable passings, and tell you how we plan to move ahead. I will also update you on the AFM- EPF MEPRA application process.

  • Teo Moritz, Superhuit Vient Aujourd'hui Grossir Les Rangs D'une Scène House Locale Qui Ne Comptait Jusqu'ici Qu'un Seul Représentant, Rotax, Créé Fin 1996
    Reviews (France) MUSIQUE INFO HEBDO - February 4th 2000 - #109 Superhuit, le label deep-house lyonnais La région Rhône-Alpes est réputée pour être un bastion techno, une quinzaine de labels y produisant le gros de la production techno hexagonale. Fondé par Teo Moritz, Superhuit vient aujourd'hui grossir les rangs d'une scène house locale qui ne comptait jusqu'ici qu'un seul représentant, Rotax, créé fin 1996. Comme ce dernier, Superhuit se destine avant tout à la production de vinyles destinés aux DJ's. Signé sur Pamplemousse (alias Boogymann) et sur Brif Records, Teo Moritz publiait le premier maxi de Superhuit à l'automne 1999. Il décide aujourd'hui de passer à la vitesse supérieure. "Notre objectif à court terme est de produire un vinyle tous les deux mois", confie-t-il. "J'ai un nouveau maxi du lyonnais Ron Hayes. Il est sorti la semaine dernière, et nous et nous avons déjà vendu la totalité des copies pressées en quelques jours. Nous le repressons en raison de la demande. La couleur dominante de Superhuit sera la deep-house, même si chaque vinyle inclut des titres house plus classiques, ou des plages downtempo. Je développerai dans un premier temps Teo Moritz et Ron Hayes, mais je cherche de nouvelles signatures." La distribution est assurée par Vénus. (Y2M) MUSIQUE INFO HEBDO - March 23th 2001 - #160 Les fusions jazz de Teo Moritz Deux ans après la création de son label Superhuit, Teo Moritz produit son premier album, distribué par Vénus. Avec ce LP vinyle, le jeune DJ et producteur lyonnais rejoint le groupe d’artistes français explorant les mélanges entre jazz et musique électronique.

As with all ethnic groups, the study of Mexican Americans in Texas can be approached from many perspectives through the use of books, photographs, music, dissertations and theses, newspapers, the personal papers of individuals, and business and governmental records. This bibliography will familiarize researchers with many of the resources relating to Mexican Americans in Texas available at the Center for American History. For complete coverage in this area, the researcher should also consult the holdings of the Benson Latin American Collection, adjacent to the Center for American History.

  • Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
    MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me​ is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.

  • Brijean Signs to Ghostly International & Shares New
    July 22, 2020 For Immediate Release Brijean Signs To Ghostly International & Shares New Single "Moody" ​ ​ Photo by Jack Bool Brijean - the Oakland-based duo of Brijean Murphy and Doug Stuart - announces signing to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ghostly International and shares new single “Moody.” The easy-grooving, ephemeral cut ​ ​ ​ “Moody” captures Brijean’s signature sound in just over two minutes: the dazzling, golden-hued haze of percussive beats and honeyed vocals. Stuart says the track is “a quick ​ gentle trip” that started in a living room — recording with Murphy’s drum mentor Pepe ​ ​ Jacobo — windows open, stream-of-consciousness lyrics flowing. ​ Murphy, an accomplished DJ, session and live player in Oakland’s diverse music scene has emerged as one of indie’s most in-demand percussionists (Poolside, Toro ​ ​ ​ Y Moi, U.S. Girls). In 2018, she began recording songs with multi-instrumentalist and ​ ​ ​ producer Stuart, who shares a background in jazz and pop in bands such as Bells Atlas, ​ ​ Meernaa, and Luke Temple. Murphy’s musical talents are family heirlooms: her father, ​ ​ ​ percussionist and engineer Patrick Murphy, taught Brijean her first patterns on a pair of ​ ​ congas that she inherited from the late Trinidadian steel drum legend Vince Charles (Neil ​ ​ ​ Diamond). Growing up in LA’s Glassell Park, Murphy was raised by a cadre of honorary aunts ​ and uncles – a deep bench of jazz, latin and soul musicians in their own rites. This meant she grew up regaled by musical lore – larger than life tales of jazz luminaries, psychedelic trips and obscure cultural enclaves – sampling some of those family stories and weaving them into her work.
