  • Greg Wood ’37 Years’ at KUHT 6-26-03

    Greg Wood ’37 Years’ at KUHT 6-26-03

    This was the first take of the session. Given the amount of tentative sobriety, average pain threshold incursion, and number of pizzas delivered in the last 48 hours, I was impressed that it came together as well as it did. I would say that Mr. Wood began to warm sometime during this song and by…

  • Carolyn Wonderland “Bad Girl” at KUHT 6-30-04

    Carolyn Wonderland “Bad Girl” at KUHT 6-30-04

    First tune first take. Carolyn Wonderland and the late Scott Daniels double up on a swinging guitar duet. Cole El-Saleh’s keyboard’s solo should not go with out mention. Carolyn’s smile at the end says it all. She smiles a lot, but not always after a tune. I don’t believe this tune ever saw the light…

  • 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…

  • Hilary Sloan ‘Some Forgotten Sunday’ at KUHT 8-6-03

    Hilary Sloan ‘Some Forgotten Sunday’ at KUHT 8-6-03

    ‘Some Forgotten Sunday’ by Hilary Sloan. I just love watching Ben the bass player whom I have played drums a few times in the Good Luck Band that had a regular gig at Toby Blunt’s old club on Washington Street. There is even a recording of it somewhere. I had shown up to see Chris…

  • 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…

  • Susan McDonald ‘Gilgamesh’ at KUHT 4-28-04

    Susan McDonald ‘Gilgamesh’ at KUHT 4-28-04

    Susan McDonald was one of my first classical editing clients Karl Caillouet of Heights Sound Studio asked me to edit together the meticulously performed tracks of the CD “The Dream of Christopher Columbus”. Here she performs her own composition “Gilgamesh”, which my good friend Brad Sayles had just produced on CD for KUHF. This forum…

  • Jack Saunders ‘Highway 71’ at KUHT 8-20-03

    Jack Saunders ‘Highway 71’ at KUHT 8-20-03

    Jack Saunders actually chose to be a Houston Musician; at least that’s what his bio says. At his appearance on ‘the beat’, he brought along legendary bassist Rankin Peters, who kinda steals the show, even though I totally blew this mix. Funny looking back how the simple combos seemed to be the toughest at times.…

  • 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, another…

  • Pine Island Station ‘Catfish John’ at KUHT 2-4-04

    Pine Island Station ‘Catfish John’ at KUHT 2-4-04

    Pine Island Station had bookings last year so I guess they are still in the game. I felt bad about the promises that were made to them about getting on ACL as a result of this performance. I don’t believe anybody ever got a door opened at ACL because of this work. This effort was…

    Phuz ‘Ceiling’ at KUHT 1-22-03

  • Sherman Robertson ‘My Linda Loo’ at KUHT 2-11-03

    Sherman Robertson ‘My Linda Loo’ at KUHT 2-11-03

    Sherman Robertson’s obituary will probably mention that he recorded a song on Paul Simon’s Graceland, and no doubt his career was boosted by that happy circumstance. In down to earth Houston terms, he was a student of Conrad Johnson. More Sherman Robertson “Out Of Sight Out Of Mind“, “Am I Losing You?”, and “Me and…
