Grady Gaines “Jumpstart My Heart’ at KUHT 12-10-02
Grady Gaines‘ band is another family affair, with a brother playing guitar and a son playing alto. I would say about a third of the bands I recorded for KUHT had at least two family members involved. Mr. Gaines was the long time leader of Little Richard’s Upsetters and was an artist on the local…

Zwee “Tapioca” at KUHT 12-10-02
I met Frank Zweback when his jam band, Zwee and the Graveberries was still holding down a night at either LLC or Dan’s. I’m sure I played drums as part of the open jam. This began a relationship of music and neighborliness that continues to this day. Frank owns several rent properties in the Montrose…

I J Gosey “Soul Serenade” at KUHT 10-01-02
I J Gosey was probably found by one of the show producers while drinking at the Big Easy. I believe he held a regular gig there. I’m glad he was put on the air. Interestingly, the station used this tune as one of four interstitials between ACL and Sound Stage. I got calls from other…

The Gypsies ‘Djelem Djelem’ at KUHT 1-22-03
I first met Greg Harbar and Mary Ann Harbar (now Mary Ann Willis) at their overstuffed home on Peden. My best friend was babysitting their son Nick Harbar . They were known as the Gypsies, which as far back as the early 70’s or at that time around 1978, was fairly unique and unusual. The…

The Trade ‘Unison’ at KUHT 1-21-03
The Trade started as a Monday night jazz jam at Helios. They were able to hold a crowd and were accessible to the younger jazz players who might not be able to get past the sharp elbows of the first call jazz bullies that are typical of a jam session with the longevity that this…

Moodafaruka ‘Only By Faith’ at KUHT 2003
Moodafaruka defies description if description is three words or less. They are true world music adventurers if that is possible to do while rarely leaving Houston. Being that Houston is one of the most diverse cities on the planet, then yes, it is possible. Rom Ryan, guitar and composer, is the leader of the group.…

Moses Guest “Jackson” at KUHT 1-21-03
It takes a certain je ne se qua to claim the mantle of Southern Rock in this day and time. Moses Guest performs its ambassadorship with healthy spoonful of that Houston je ne se qua. More than a bin box label, they are certified ‘from around here’. I went to HSPVA with Rick Thompson and…

Space City Gamelan ‘Jiro’ at KUHT 11-14-03
I probably met Space City Gamelan through Matt Crawford, my A2 on Mary Lou’s Flip Flop Shop. I remember driving to the Houston Indonesian Consulate, which owned the gamelan instruments seen here, to check out a rehearsal. This was a bit of a logistical challenge. Gabriel Villalobos, the founder of the orchestra, is a wonderful…

Behind this champion accordionist are Mark Rubin (tuba/bass) of Bad Livers fame and the Brosch brothers, Bruce (gutar/vox) and Jeff (drums), sons of the legendary Jimmy Brosch. I asked Rubin just before…

My good friend Julye Newlin got me two days in ‘the Hive’ the BP control room for the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill for the Discovery Channel shooting this HD documentary. We were the only crew to gain such direct access. One year Later, NPR’s Tell Me More hired me to go record Shelly Anderson…

Drop Trio “Wreck of the Zephyr’ at KUHT 2-5-04
One can often tell how good a programmer is by their manual dexterity and accuracy. I met Ian Varley at a networking gathering he organized that somebody talked me into attending. He said he was interested in getting his band on the show. I said blah blah sure, what’s it’s name? “Drop Trio!” In addition…

Carolyn Wonderland ‘Bloodless Revolution’ at KUHT 06-30-04
This would be one of the last music tapings I did at HoustonPBS. It doesn’t take long to learn in TV that everything gets canceled. Carolyn was just about to spend a little time on the road with Bob Dylan. I met Carolyn at the staging of ‘In the Underthunderloo’. She has been a singular…

Grenade! “Rhino Wino” at KUHT 3-26-02
Grenade. Hmm, how did I meet them? I know that I am still blessed to work with John Calderon on occasion at The Bridge Fellowship In Sugarland, TX, where he leads the worship band when he’s not leading Al Jarreau’s band. Kelly Dean is the main force behind the compositions. Kelly is as nice as…
