I was anticipating posting this taping of Carolyn performing the Bob Dylan song “I Believe In You” at KUHT on 6-30-04 with some sadness. It was one of the last band recordings I did for HoustonPBS as the show was canceled and I was laid off several years later. Now the misery is complete. This is the last recording I made of Scott Daniels who passed on 5-12-13
More Carolyn: “Radio Blues”, “Bad Girl” and “Bloodless Revolution”
I met Scott playing in Fleshmop with Jay Maulsby, Ben Collis and Rich Tapia while I was doing house sound at the Axiom circa 1990. One of their tunes, later revived by Joint Chiefs, was “Rubber Things” presented here by the Thunderloo band that played the premiere production that inspired Infernal Bridegroom Productions and later Catastrophic Theater, “In the Under Thunderloo”. This is an excellent example of Scott’s amazing chording capability, which made him not only a killer lead guitarist, but a brilliant accompanist as in “I Believe In You”. I signed on to watch over the sound, though I didn’t mix the house sound every night; I did keep the house system of the club, then named under new management Catal Hyuck, alive and provided a few pieces of gear. The last two nights, I borrowed my mentor Pat Coakley’s Winnebago and set up my Audioarts 8008 and DAT, borrowed a bunch of gear from Rock Romano, and nicked this recording of Scott, Leesa Harrington (-Squyres), Jay, Chris King (who traded bass chores with Brett Needham), Matt Kelly, Scott A. Beliveau, and Joshua Kosoy. The mic plug fell out of Jay’s mic in the middle. That night Leesa gave me her phone number.

Hilary Sloan was on a huge COUNTRY kick at the time of this taping. Her vision of what was or was not country was the subject of long conversation. But listening to this tune, I hear modern twists in the fiddle playing and chord changes. So there you have it: she forges old style country in new ways. This is the third tune of the session, but the last of the four posted.
More from Hilary Sloan “Some Forgotten Sunday”, “I Know the Way to Heaven” and “The Darker Side of Life”
Sound Patrol performs their original reggae song at KUHT “What She Wants” on 10-1-02
It saddens me to say this is the last of the four tunes from the Sound Patrol session. And it is unlikely that there’s any other video anywhere. It’s hard to say where this band might be if they had been able to keep it together, but each member being so talented and having track records of multiple simultaneous projects, it would have been unlikely that it would have gone on long. It’d be the coolest reunion show, maybe pitched down a bit for older voices.
More Sound Patrol “Walls Crumble“, “Smile” and “Pull Me Over”

Harry Sheppard, Bob Chadwick, David Craig, improvise ‘Untitled’ at the Artery 2012
The Artery is one of Houston’s classic Art Houses. Unlike the Orange Show or the Beer Can House, its artist/director, Mark Larsen is still alive. Unlike Inversion the art space itself is alive and still struggling forward. Unlike Project Row Houses, which has moved from art to include immediate community development, the Artery remains focused on art and curates from a global range of localities, politics and cultures. The Artery depends on private donation almost exclusively and has a large retinue of longtime volunteer participants. In this aspect , the vibe and operation is most closely like Anderson Fair
I met Mark Larsen through Bill Kelley and first worked with Mark on the hugely ambitious and influential ‘The Imminent Asteroid‘, which I sound designed. This was the beginning of one of my longest attendances in admiration, in that I have witnessed many magical evenings there. Bill Day was the long time serving sound artist at the Artery. He recorded this and almost all of the Artery Media Project works while mixing the house PA through a window. Bill, to my mind, is one of the great unsung heroes of Houston Sound. It was my honor to be asked to finish mix several sessions for picture in my ProTools suite.
