  • The Gypsies “Tchavalo Swing” at KUHT 1-22-03

    The Gypsies “Tchavalo Swing” at KUHT 1-22-03

    The Gypsies. The very name is a statement of the long history of the band under the leadership of Greg Harbar. Anyone who tries to name a new band these days has many challenges beyond duplication. One recent requirement is that the name must be unique enough to be searchable on the web. The Gypsies…

    IJ Gosey  Jimmy Reed Medley  at KUHT 10-01-02

  • New Leer Cap for the Tacoma expands services at CDP

    New Leer Cap for the Tacoma expands services at CDP

    The trusty old steed, a 2003 crew cab four wheel drive Tacoma SR-5 has a new Leer Cap that can not only store more, but also frees up the seats in the cab for crew. It also has rack rails for ladders, stands, a canoe. It’s all about options. Need a ride to the airport?…

  • After Party with Tianna Hall ‘Fever’ 9-20-06

    After Party with Tianna Hall ‘Fever’ 9-20-06

    For almost four seasons, we did a little talk show called The After Party on HousotnPBS. This was another brainchild of the amazing Ernie Manouse and was capably directed by Matt Brawley. We were crammed into studio B. Music consisted of a tiny stage and a crappy electric piano. It was a great vehicle to…

    Citizen Doug steps up its IFB and on-set listening with Lectrosonics

    Citizen Doug Productions is excited to announce the completion of it’s Lectosonics wireless IFB and on-set listening package. Clients are overwhelmingly choosing the new DSLR workflows for their projects, but it doesn’t take long to realize that immediate playback with sync sound is not so easy to achieve.

  • Opie Hendrix ‘Fifty Dollar Bill’ at KUHT 11-12-03

    Opie Hendrix ‘Fifty Dollar Bill’ at KUHT 11-12-03

    Opie Hendix is another artist who’s lyrics say more about him then I ever could. I played in Opie’s band a couple of times. He’s a true Houston country musician in that he takes all the forms of punk and Grateful Dead and folk and funk and squeezes it out country somehow More Opie Hendrix…

  • Calvin Owens “The House is Burning” at KUHT 4-30-03

    Calvin Owens “The House is Burning” at KUHT 4-30-03

      Calvin Owens, though not born in Houston, was a true Houston musician in that he defied description and pigeon holes. This is another of The Calvin Owens Blues Orchestra’s last television appearances. The band stretched the limits of the capacity of the KUHT studio infrastructure. ‘The House Is Burning’ was composed by Guy Schwartz,…

  • Phuz ‘Ceiling’ at KUHT 1-22-03

    Phuz ‘Ceiling’ at KUHT 1-22-03

    Phuz is another example of a band of family members. If memory serves, I believe they are brothers, bass and drums. More Phuz “Water“, “Cold”, and “Search” Check out more Houston Music

  • Grady Gaines “Jumpstart My Heart’ at KUHT 12-10-02

    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…

  • I J Gosey “Soul Serenade” at KUHT 10-01-02

    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…

  • Market Square Park excerpt from ‘Art Is All Around Us” 2006 Lonestar Emmy for Audio

    Market Square Park was the original location of City Hall, which occupied the second floor of a building that burned down. The first floor was a market, as was the entire square. Diverseworks did the initial transformation in to an art park, though the empty square was always a public space. This video precedes the…

  • Clouseaux ‘Where Are We Now?’ at KUHT 3-27-03

    Clouseaux ‘Where Are We Now?’ at KUHT 3-27-03

    Clouseaux made me have hope for all the talented well trained music scholars that pour out of American universities. What does one do with all that musical muscle? Mix it with gin and an olive with just a whiff of Vermouth. I didn’t know what to expect, but when they showed up without any PA…
