Once again the day passed quickly and I had a little extra time to download some photos form last week’s photo shoot. Over 180 pics and a few were good. I did not have time to mak a copy to upload here. My cat wants me to pay her attention, my body says it’s time to turn in, and I still want to hear some more music. In this blog I’ll erase part of this is New Mexico’s music and go to wherever I find some interesting sounds. In fact, I’m not even going to stick with one genre. As I started this blog I did not expect it to grow so long! Turns out most of it is about New Mexico, take some time to visit , replay, or come back again. This is RICH!

Well if you got this far I am impressed! In fact I think I’ll mention this on the top. Herein lies a real cross mix of New Mexico, something for most peoples, though not all for everyone’s taste. I can go out of my normal view and loosen up some when it’s past my bedtime. Some of these videos also have great New Mexican landscapes. I am glad you took time to meander through the ramblings of youtube search results and my eyes. Each video stands on its own, and has a validity that talks and reaches many. Compassion for these various viewpoits is essential to opening our hearts and minds to building platforms for peace.

Who would have thought the bus tour video would be so beautiful? AH, new horizons just by taking some time to open my mind. Please subscribe and visit again. Mary

Questions? Comments? Have a New MExico video, or a poem, or lyrics of a song that you would like me to post? Fav artist or musician, short story. Leave me a comment and let’s show the world what a wonderful magical place this is! Thanks, and comment…

AS I was doing a New Mexico Serch on youtube, this one stands out and needs some extra space to be seen! Enjoy!

Bonus:

I have some bread soaking in CHile sauce (homemade from NM red chile powder) bread from NM grown grain baked in Santa Fe. I’ll fry it up with an egg in the morning…..hmmm…it’s late and I am hungry.

The 8th Annual
Ancient Way Fall Festival

On Scenic Route 53
The First Two Weeks Of October 2007

Indian artisans, Zuni Dancers, ambassador wolves, tours of caves, lava tubes, volcanos, local artists and performers, evening drummings, dancing, music, chili, food and drink throughout - just a little of what the fall festival offers along New Mexico’s Scenic Route 53. The fall is when the pine covered sandstone mesa country of west central New Mexico is at its most beautiful - the days are cool and sunny, and the flowers are at their height. October 6-15 2006, will be especially wonderful, as the folks along the highway, from Grants to Zuni, open their doors for an 80 mile-long-party.
The communities and area attractions will host events day and night for your enjoyment. There will be afternoon and evening performances, art activities for children, open air markets, all nestled along the spectacular the Ancient Way Scenic Route 53.

Perhaps it’s the striking beauty of the land; or perhaps it’s the rich cultural mix of creative people of the area; but this part of New Mexico is vibrant with energy and vitality. Come spend a fun and fascinating weekend with us and experience the Ancient Way.

lATE THIS AFTERNOON i TOOK A WINDING ROAD DRIVE AROUND SANTA FE and surrounding communities. Whilst driving and doing roadside photography, I listened to some of favorite KSFR Sunday shows. I let my soul absorb late afternoon colors and beautiful NM skyscapes and mountain scapes. On Hello NM a show produced by the New Mexican magazine,
I heard an interview with Ed Sandoval and Ann Huston: check the Setpember issue of New Mexico magazine about their paintings, the new 2008 New Mexico Magazine’s calendar, and a book on Adobe Houses.

So then I heard a wonderful interview with Blues singer Cocoa Taylor

oops! wrong address but a good refernece site.

New Mexico Magazine, the nation’s oldest state magazine, is your one-stop portal to explore the Land of Enchantment.

www.nmmagazine.com

I checked out the site, but couldn’t get to the articles: so google and see if they have a more interactive site or go to a library and read. They did have a photo tour and a featured video that’s a good ad for the Balloon fiesta in Albuquerque NM in October.

www.ksfr.org

Koko Taylor brings her brand of blues to Oberlin
by Alexander Johnston

You’ll yell, you’ll stomp, and you’ll clap your hands like there’s no tomorrow. And for once in your life, a sore throat, aching feet, and blistered hands will feel great. Koko Taylor and her Blues Machine will blaze into town Saturday evening and deal out some hard rocking blues that will cure you of the diseases you can’t be immunized with a shot for.

The blues singer, who grew up named Cora Walton, acquired the nickname “Koko” from her affinity for chocolate. People called her “Little Cocoa” as a kid, which evolved into just “Koko.” Her father was a sharecropper on a cotton farm near Memphis, TN. Since money was scarce, she and her brothers made their own instruments, and often played blues music behind their father’s back, despite his insistence that they only play gospel music. The kids also listened to blues records and to B.B. King’s blues radio show, immersing themselves in the traditions of the blues.

Not until she was about twenty years old did Koko aspire to be a professional blues singer. At that time, she was living with her future husband, Robert “Pops” Taylor, in Chicago. They frequented clubs around town, meeting blues artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Watters, and Buddy Guy. Koko would often sit in and sing. One such night, she won a singing contest. Willie Dixon, a famous bluesman himself for Chess Records, was in the audience, and was astounded with her talent. He persuaded Chess to sign her to a contract, and soon she had her first big hit, “Wang Dang Doodle,” in 1965.

Since the demise of Chess Records in 1975, Koko has recorded mostly with Alligator Records. She has also sung worldwide in every context imaginable, often with blues greats such as B.B. King and Paul Schaffer. She won a grammy in 1984, and has been nominated for six more. She has appeared on numerous television and radio shows, such as the David Letterman show and National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.”

Even with the television and radio engagements, she still puts on about 200 shows per year, a phenomenal rate for any artist.

Her band, the Blues Machine, is aptly named. They play the blues as if they are one person, performing precisely together, never losing time or soul. Even on simple, repeated grooves, such as the four bar one for “Wang Dang Doodle,” the listener is never denied an exciting moment. Connies who are overwhelmed by technique and complex variations of chord progressions, harmonies, and melodies, would do themselves a favor to learn first hand the most important aspect of any music - to groove (of course, within the idiom).

Koko’s clarity and forcefulness fit perfectly with the band’s aggressive yet controlled sound. No matter what your musical preference or experience, however, you should come Saturday night to stomp, clap, and shout your troubles away with Koko Taylor and her Blues Machine.

Koko Taylor and her Blues Machine play Finney Chapel Saturday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. $4 OCID, $8 others.

Lilliaan Hellman the famous playright. WOke up while dramin’ about a TAOS, I’ve never seen and a dust storm so think that I wish I had a bandana on to cover my nose and mouth. In the dream I owre a flannel red checked long sleeve shrit and had a big flet tan gray cowboy had, blue jeans, red-brown cowboy boots with spurs. I was up in Taos to do, an assignment (writing), and said to myself: this is the best assignment I’ve ever had.

The other route is what used to be the OLD TAOS HIGHWAY. Google a map to TAOS. Before Espanola and after the CITIES OF GOLD in Poquaque, you go down a hill, to a light and make a right toward NAMBE. You’ll pass through Indian Country and keep following the signs to TAOS. Past Chimayo, by Cordova, through TRUCHAS, winding round through the NATIONAL FOREST, down through other tiny Hispanic Villages over through so many different terrains: breath taking, and finally you roll into Taos. I used to love driving down the main drag, and watch the montain grow bigger and bigger as well as a deep blue sky. It’s all built up now, losing a lot of the charm, but the mountain still can call your name.

If you google TAOS NM PHOTOS, you can find some beauties. Couldn’t copy them here.
Sept. 29, San Geronimo Eve Vespers
Sept. 30, San Geronimo Day, Traditional Pole Climbing

There’ll be dancing. And more.

scattered around the globe or (after months of show time
responsibility)
just simply scattered.

Vegoose Music Festival - check out the incredible line up and all the
other information here:

First:

The

AND DON’T DRINK and drive. Actually the title above is not a direct quote: it’s fictional 100%. I just wanted to see who would show up! The Don’t drink and drive should be SO OBVIOUS, however this is one of those weekends where I normally limit my driving. Do be careful and enjoy. PS: be a little paranoid, you know those cops will be out looking for you!

I went to youtube.com to find other musicians that I hadn’t seen before and I couldn’t find the four I randomly chose. So just go back to the older blogs and listen to some more. Happy Labor Day. Mary

Cadillac Sky at the brewing company….the guy on the RADIO (KSFR) was right! Increible band. Friday night.

Does everyone have Monday off? Ought to but many will be working. I have to work Friday and Saturday: but I will take off Monday! Have all your plans made yet? I wish I could…but between my car needing work, weeds growing fast in the yard,and having to work, I’ll have to miss so much!

Now there’s more festivals for jazz and other bands too. Some this weekend and some on the 21st weekend.

One of the things I have been doing is highlighting some musicians that some of us may not be familiar with. These festivals have the big and famous headliners and some powerful musicians who may have more local fame, whether it be from Austin TX, some small burb, another country or even right here in New Mexico. Thirsty Ear Festival has also expanded the venues that promoted, and is more than Bluegrass.

Early morning, looking for some hot moving music before I go to bed. Well this is a quieter tone. She does play here in NM every so often. And you can find her on the web, and Cd’s in the museum shops etc. Here are 2 clips:

Ok take a moment to think of…prayers and peace….of your loved ones…

and….

Rest. Mary

Visit www.soundofamerica.com

See what I learned about by listening to KSFR Radio and their New Mexican magazine show? An interview with Natasha can be found on KSFR archives.

And not just NM. A bit controversial. From Youtube.com

A bit more traditional. Native peoples from all over come to Indian Market in Santa Fe NM.

Just one more:

Ho! Mary

www.local-iQ.com You ever play tag: you run like crazy and suddenly you are the one running after everyone else. So I am doing my homework and now you ARE IT! Find me some local chile loving musicians who would love a spot to be interviewed. Leave me comments. Suggestions. If you are a musician, actor, writer, artist: contact me and I will feature you! Of course, uploadable pictures would help too. If you know of a great upcoming event: tell me about it.

How’s the Albuquerque aroma lately? Driving along Santa Fe roads I can now enjoy the seasonal tradition: they’re roasting green chile. If you are a newcomer, don’t stand too close to the roaster, because you might start coughing and eyes a watering! The rest of us will stock up for winter warmth and great taste! Hey guys if you are just cruising, take time to stop and get your mama some chile? Why make her do ALL the work? Get some for your auntie too: afterall they feed you whenever you show up don’t they? Be cool and buy that chile.
