    BINGIn the Stanford MUSIC Hospital SERIES Atrium january 2018 WEDNESDAY JANUARY 3, 12:30 PETER DI BONO TRIO — Standards & Showtunes Peter DiBono, one of San Francisco’s premier Accordionists, will be performing standards and showtunes with his band featuring Harriet Newhart on violin and Steve Hanson on bass. Peter’s trio interprets these classics with virtuosity and passion. If you love this music, you’ll love this band! FRIDAY JANUARY 5, 12:30 OSCAR REYNOLDS TRIO — Bolivian-Influenced Flute & Guitar Bolivian master flutist and guitarist Oscar Reynolds leads the Oscar Reynolds Trio for a musical per- formance of Afro-Latin Andean Jazz that laces world cultures, jazz, and a South American flair that will transport you to high in the Andes mountains of Bolivia and Peru. WEDNESDAY JANUARY 10, 12:30 GROOVANOVA — From Soul to Nat King Cole Take a trip through some of the best music of the Seventies to the Fifties with GroovaNova. These musicians do it all from funk and soul music to some of the hippest tunes from Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. FRIDAY JANUARY 12, 12:30 ALBANY CONSORT — Works by Monteverdi, Vivaldi & Bach; Arrangements by Jonathan Salzedo A Monteverdi madrigal and a Bach cantata were intended for voices, but work beautifully instrumen- tally in the Albany Consort’s performance. An intimate keyboard piece becomes a shining star when orchestrated. A Vivaldi “Season” enjoys a new set of colors, plus a couple of pieces that will be done according to the composers’ directions, though not without some of the improv techniques that are always a part of bringing old music to life and give it an individual flavor.

  • Feature: Tex Williams Still Swings with Western Sounds (UK
    "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)" and a series of Hollywood western movies set veteran artiste Tex Williams firmly on the pathway of fame. During a recent interview with CMP columnist Bob Powel, Tex gave insight into some of the highlights, and events, in a multi-faceted career. THIRTY YEARS ON-AND TEX STILL SWINGS _WITH WESTERN SOUNDS parries came to expect large sales from , their artistes. "My producer, Mr. Lee '" Gilette informed me that he was going to· have to let me go from the label. My first record only sold 200,000 and the second only around 190,000. He said 'that's not enough, you are the only big band on the label' ". In those days records were cut with a three or four piece band or even with just a guitar, so a 14-piece band like Western Caravan made a much bigger dent in Capitol's recording budget than· fellow Capitol artistes like Tex Ritter and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Tex Williams takes up the story: "I went out scrounging for hit material. Of course at that time everything that Merle Travis was writing was success­ ful, he was having hit after hit. I asked Merle if he had something. He said 'I have something partially finished, you wouldn't like it, it's probably no good'. It turned out to be 'Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)'. I finished part EX WILLIAMS must just about be came to meet Spade. '.'This was through of it, and put the melody, such as it is, T the only Country singer who makes another band several years before Spade behind it".

Rumor Has It Page 3 We spent the evening on the Worth Repeating Page 3 Club’s rooftop where we socialized Todd Bloomstine with Senator Cathleen Galgiani (D-Stockton), Assemblymember Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles), Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance), and Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Buena Park). Thank you to those legislators for taking time out of their busy days and spending time with us. Now is certainly the time to reach out and get to know the legislature. In fact, it is the absolutely best time for SCCA to re- establish its commitment to legislative outreach. The 2017-18 legislative class is the least experienced since 1935. For comparison’s sake, the cumulative legislative experience for the legislature is 431 years. Sadly, that’s about three and a half years per legislator. The total legislative experience in 1991, the year after the terms limit initiative passed, was 1,265 years. Said another way, today’s legislature has one-third the experience it did 25 years ago.

    PO Box 14003 Mill Creek, WA 98082 Celebrating Founded Our 34th Year In 1983 Visit us on the web at: www.nwwsms.com Volume 34 Issue 11 A News Letter For and About Our Members November 2017 Preserving the music that is too country for Jazz and too jazz for Country (Our thanks to Jean A. Boyd for her extensive, published research into the America’s Western Swing Music music known as Western Swing, the Jazz of the Southwest. Dr. Boyd has The Journey from String Bands approved of the following compilation) to Swing Bands Editor’s Note: This year, Fred and I had the opportunity to take part in western swing events of the three western swing sister societies, the NWWSMS, the WSS, and the WSMSS. The similarities as well as the differences were striking - but a feeling of community and sense of belonging tied them all together. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to view String Bands to Swing Bands, from the NWWSMS’ 2016 festival, the script to the video segment is printed below. Dr. Boyd maps this connection out in her books (pictured to the left). The following compilation hopes to give an overview, explaining the regional differences in the music called Western Swing. Prefer to watch? Click on the photo to the left. Western Swing is like a musical quilt whose pieces fit together and formed something new – a musical genre composed of a blend of American musical styles. What better place to collect the pieces than Texas, a cultural crossroads. In Texas, four major cultural influences set the stage for the development of Western Swing but in the beginning it all centered around the development of the Texas fiddle style.
