  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

  • The Impact of Music on Language Acquisition
    COMMENTARY MUSIC AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION The Impact of Music on Language Acquisition Courtney Rieb James Cohen Northern Illinois University As the culture of the American elementary classroom continues to diversify, teachers’ practices must also evolve to best meet the needs of students, specifically, English Learners (ELs). This article encourages elementary educators to include music in their general education curriculum by highlighting the lack of music education in the classroom, which fuels the discussion for its need; discusses the historical use of language to support the impact of music on Kingergarten-6th grade speakers; and dissects the linguistic, cognitive, cultural, and social aspects of music, all of which have a positive impact on language use and development. Research findings suggest that music can have a positive impact on language acquisition by lowering students’ affective filter and making them feel more comfortable while also supporting language instruction and content learning, as well as capitalizing on the common origins between language and music. Through review of journal articles spanning several decades, the conclusions in this manuscript support the benefits of music in the general education classroom, thus encouraging teachers to implement music to both native and non-native English speakers. “You do not need to feel like a musical person to implement music in your classroom.” (Lila Chavez, Elementary music educator, O’Neil Elementary School) Despite the historically strong evidence that music is highly beneficial to the language acquisition process for elementary English Learners (ELs) (Loewy, 1995; Engh, 2013) there is very little music education occurring in the language classroom (Nillson, 2018; Engh, 2013; Salcedo, 2010).

  • Texas Jamm Band Featuring Members of George Strait's Ace in the Hole Band
    Texas Jamm Band featuring members of George Strait's Ace In The Hole Band Step into the real Texas by bringing the Texas Dancehall / Concert / George Strait experience to your event. The Texas Jamm Band featuring members of George Strait’s Ace In The Hole Band, tours with George and also independently. The two hour show will showcase some of the finest musicians in the world playing Classic Country, Top 40 Country, Original Music, Texas Country, songs they have written for other artists, a touch of Western Swing and Cajun music, and a healthy “dose” of George Strait hits. Event-goers will definitely need an area to Texas two-step and dance the night away. The Texas Jamm Band supports a solo musical project. Their single, Drinkin’ Doubles, was released to radio and is being played in select markets today. It is also available at many retailers, iTunes, Lonestar Music, Amazon, and the website www.texasjammband.com The Band received the coveted “DisCovery Award” from Robert K. Oremann, the world’s authority on country music as well as part of Music Row – Nashville’s “A” list of music critics. The single, “Drinkin’ Doubles”, and the complete album received critical acclaim. Since George Strait retired from regular touring in June 2014, the band has become even more special because it is the only place a venue can still get the George Strait experience with true Ace In The Hole Band Members, and the authentic George Strait sound. Most people did not have the opportunity to secure one of the final George Strait “Cowboy Rides Away” tour tickets.
