Happy 74th Birthday Dalai Lama

His Holiness the Dalai Lama turns 74 today.



This account of His Holiness' birth was taken from the official web site. His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born on 6 July 1935, and named Lhamo Thondup, to a poor family in the small village of Taktser in the province of Amdo. The name, Lhamo Thondup, literally means Wish-Fulfilling Goddess. Taktser (Roaring Tiger) was a small and poor settlement that stood on a hill overlooking a broad valley. Its pastures had not been settled or farmed for long, only grazed by nomads. The reason for this was the unpredictability of the weather in that area, His Holiness writes in his autobiography Freedom in Exile. During my early childhood, my family was one of twenty or so making a precarious living from the land there.

His Holiness' parents were small farmers who mostly grew barley, buckwheat and potatoes. His father was a man of medium height with a very quick temper. I remember pulling at his moustache once and being hit hard for my trouble, recalls His Holiness. Yet he was a kind man too and he never bore grudges. His Holiness recalls his mother as undoubtedly one of the kindest people I have ever known. She had a total of sixteen children, of whom seven lived. (Thank you for looking at me)

Photos from first night of recording the Tonalities Project

Here are a few pictures from our first night of tracking on the Tonalities project. We recorded in the practice room at the Setnor School of Music (College of Visual and Performing Arts, Syracuse University). I'll post more images and tell you more about the project as it progresses. Check out the beautiful building where Setnor is located:

Scotty "the bluesman" Suyeishi Neville

Here is a short clip of my friend, Scotty Bluesman Suyeishi Neville jamming in San Jose, CA. He's the badass playing the blues harp. Soundin' good Scotty. Scotty and I use to jam all the time when I lived in San Jo. We also frequented my favorite San Jo restaurant, Guadalajara II, for chorizo and egg burritos with fresh Jalepeno peppers and cold beer.

Larry Hoyt Playing Johnny Cash's Tennessee Flat Top Box

This is Larry Hoyt performing Johnny Cash's Tennessee Flat Top Box at Borders (Syracuse, New York) in-store promotion of Larry's CD "Folksinger Songwriter" (Hondo Mesa Records, HMR001) on Saturday, June 20, 2009. Larry rarely plays this in public, even though it is on his CD, because it's a difficult tune to play.

Happy Birthday Cyndi Lauper

Happy Birthday to one of the most innovative and fearless singers/songwriters in the land. Check out Cyndi's official web site when you get a chance. I remember the first time I saw her video "Girls Just Want To Have Fun"... wow, too cool, I thought. Then she followed up with the wonderful (and heart pulling) "Time After Time." You got to love Cyndi Lauper. Happy Birthday from all of us at Hondo Mesa Records and thank you.

Happy Birthday Paul Abdul

Happy Birthday Paula. Your "Straight Up" video still knocks me out! Hondo Mesa Records loves you.

Hondo Mesa Records recording artist, Brian Francis, opening for Volker Strifler this Saturday at HopMonk.

Hondo Mesa Records recording artist, Brian Francis, called me today from sunny California. He was excited to discuss his upcoming gig. Brian is opening for Volker Strifler this Saturday at HopMonk. This is s prime spot. Volker is making a name for himself in CA and Nashville and the folks at HopMonk love Brian and wanted him to open. Way to go Brian!



Here's some info. on Volker Strifler from the HopMonk website:



HopMonk presents...
VOLKER STRIFLER
blues / rock / americana

The Volker Strifler Band is a sizzling package of roots and soul mixed with a little rock, jazz and a taste of the Delta just to let everyone know it's still the blues. The increasingly popular Sonoma County Band is the recipient of the 2007 North Bay Area Music Awards for Blues, the Monterey Bay Blues Festival competition and returned from Memphis to well received accolades at the 2008 Blues Foundations International Blues Challenge as well as being selected for the pre nom round of the 2008 Grammy's in 7 categories.

Moving from languorous jazz and roots, to white hot blues/rock to a funky calypso rhythm Strifler connects his disparate influences into a seamless whole showing that blues is a feeling more than a style. He has a compelling soulful voice that is confident but not brash putting life in perspective offering frank discourse and humor dealing with the tribulations that periodically come our way. Strifler aptly proves that music is a refuge where optimism and human resiliency reign, souls are cleansed and spirits raised.

Having shared the stage with such luminaries as Robben Ford, Lowell Fulson, Chris Cain, Elvin Bishop, and BB King, Volker Strifler has become a talent one cannot ignore. However it is his songwriting that truly stands out from the crowd, lending a caring sensitivity that erases lines and connects his audience by recognizing that life is the ultimate shared experience, one that is defined by both joy and sorrow and an acute social awareness. "Volker is a wonderful blues songwriter, which is an important contribution in keeping the Blues genre vital" Robben Ford.

The Volker Strifler Band is an extraordinary group of musicians that is more than just the sum of their shared and individual experience as performers. With Volker Strifler on guitar and vocals, Gary Silva on drums, Don Bassey on bass, David Schrader on saxophone, Carl Bowers on trombone, and "Chip" Roland Condon keyboards, they conjure up a seductive mixture of old and new styles and hard to find originality.

In 1996 Volker recorded his first solo release titled ‘Full Moon' and in 2002 released his eponymous 1st release on Blue Rock'It records to great reviews. It is compiled of mostly originals and showcases his talents as a player, singer, songwriter. The release of his third solo CD ‘The Dance Goes On' shows just how gifted Strifler is as a guitar player, singer, songwriter and producer. As proof, the CD was added to play lists in numerous radio markets throughout the United States and abroad, including the legendary WWOZ in New Orleans, San Francisco's KPFA, Santa Cruz's KPIG and many more. "One of my favorite releases of the year, it's as impressive lyrically as it is musically. That he's a killer guitarist with a superb voice adds to the overall appeal..." Mark Gallo of Blues Bytes writes. "This is a don't miss within 100 mile show!' Ricky Stevens, Blues Foundation Board Member.

Strifler has also lent his talents to the Ford Blues Bands releases of ‘Tribute To Paul Butterfield' ‘In Memory Of Michael Bloomfield' ‘Another Fine Day' and ‘1999' as well as currently fronting the band, touring Europe and the US.

Happy Birthday Paul McCartney

Larry Hoyt Live at Creekside Books and Coffee

Here's Larry Hoyt with The Good Acoustics doing Larry's "Ghost of Love" from his debut CD, Folksinger/Songwriter on Hondo Mesa Records (HMR001). I shot this video with my Canon PowerShot G9 (12.1 Mega Pixels) from my seat in the audience on June 13, 2009.

Dirty Linen Review of Shenandoah & Bucher's BTSG

Joanne Shenandoah & Michael Bucher’s Bitter Tears Sacred Ground CD (Hondo Mesa Records, HMR007 2008) received an excellent review in Dirty Linen (#142, July/August 2009, on newsstands June 9). Here are some highlights:

“…the music they present here is about America and its people through history... the songs and the musicians’ interpretations of them speak eloquently enough on their own…songs are equally well chosen, all part of a narrative that is both indirect and direct, inviting thought about the lives of Native peoples through all their range of circumstances and emotion.”

“Shenandoah and Bucher are both gifted writers and singers who make their points while remaining in service to the music, the idea, and their connection to the listener.”

Ryuichi Sakamoto Inspiring Sustainability

The following release from http://bit.ly/17j85T

Col. Tom Ryan Attends Rolling Thunder

One of the nice surprises for me at Rolling Thunder this year was the presence of Robert Patrick. You know Robert. He's an actor who played T-1000 in 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day.' He is also in my favorite television show, "The Unit." He plays Col. Tom Ryan. Well, evidently he rides. He rides and supports the POW/MIA issue. He rode all the way from CA to attend Rolling Thunder in Washington DC. He had to have some 700 mile days. You the man Robert!

Joanne Shenandoah blog notes from Australia

Hondo Mesa Records recording artist Joanne Shenandoah (new CD, Bitter Tears - Sacred Ground) is in Australia. She sends her regards and the following:



Hello All,

We are 30 miles from the fires - really a sad tale here with the death toll. It was so hot the other day one could not breath
outside. It was like being in the Sierra Nevada dessert - the air conditioning went and we had our windows
rolled down anyway - blowing in the hottest air ever. (not mention our brakes went after that!). 110 Degrees.
Anyhow the words "Global Warming" continually ring on the lips of everyone.

The weather now dropped about 40 degrees and it is much cooler. Doug and I took the train to the bay and
got to walk along the beach one morning. We have been meeting a lot of folks herein the city and it is
very multicultural. They gave us a beautiful 2 bedroom suite/apt overlooking the city and its really lovely with a kitchen
living room, washerdryer and dishwasher. Everyone is very welcoming and kind.

The aboriginees are very warm and rather wonderful. It took a while to find them, but the were sooo welcoming and
sang us songs and did a ceremony for us yesterday which was amazing. One of the elders
called "Uncle Reg" gave Doug a huge digereedoo and the women some music sticks. We ate out ranch which is
completely environmental oriented with wind, solar and organic gardens. Last night we had dinner along the Yarrow
river at the Director of the Parliament's home which was amazing scenery, with Parrots, magpies, cockatoo's and bats!

Our other Dakota and Navajo guests actually tried the kangaroo and crocodile..eee gads. They hang every where
in the markets and it's rather unnerving. The fruits and vegetables are plenty however, and absolutely beautiful!

Today we have a long planning meeting for the Parliament meeting of the Worlds Religions next December
and then we pack up and come home. It is Tuesday morning here and Monday for
you. We are just getting acclimated.

We look forward to debriefing -back in the states!

That's all for now mates!
Jo and Doug

More From the Road with Brian Francis

Still traveling through the US, the talented Brian Francis of the roots band Kh'Mi, has sent another installment of "prose from the road." Keep 'em coming Brian. To hear clips of Brian's music on Hondo Mesa Records, please check out CDbaby.com or itunes.





So it’s a day and two solid nights now since I left Lubbock, and the whole time I’ve been in the van.
Stopping only for gas and food, I sleep in the back. A few hours here and there, mostly at rest stops.

It’s restless sleep, dark and dreamless.

I wake feeling groggy, disoriented. Feelings I overcome with copious amounts of coffee, by pinching myself, by singing loudly along with the radio- what ever it takes.

I’ve passed through the flat lands of the North Texas pan handle, through the lonely red expanse of New Mexico, and up into the mountains and high desert of Arizona- and then,
right around midnight Friday: on into California.

There’s a check station at the border. Uniformed men with guns asking if I’ve brought any fruit, nuts or vegetable matter with me. One asks the questions, smiling, while another shines a flash light through my back windows, looking at what’s inside. I tell them I’ve got none of these things they’re looking for. They wave me forward.
As I pass through the gate I see a U-haul off to my right, parked on the shoulder of the road. It’s back door is open. Two men in civilian cloths are emptying it’s contents out onto the side of the highway, while two of the uniformed men watch. One of these holds a flash light, the other is cradling a shotgun.

I drive till 3 in the morning, pull off into a truck park and tuck myself in amongst the big rigs. The drivers leave them running all night to save on fuel, and the humming of their big diesel engines fills my ears as I fall to sleep.

Once again it’s a restless sleep,
dark and dreamless.

Bialczak's Review of Bitter Tears - Sacred Ground

The Post-Standard (Syracuse, New York) music critic, Mark Bialczak, had wonderful things to say about our latest release:

"Joanne Shenandoah and Michael Bucher speak from their hearts on 'Bitter Tears -- Sacred Ground.'"

"They've constructed a proud and noble collection."

"The sounds of their voices and guitars are striking..."

"Shenandoah sings 'The Star Spangled Banner' gloriously a cappella, one voice, soaring."

"And the CD closes with 'America,' gorgeously written and sung by Shenandoah..."

You can read Bialczak's complete review here.

Please visit Hondo Mesa Records to purchase the CD or to watch the short film about the making of the CD.
Long live independent music.

Don't Forget About Me -- Michael Bucher

MICHAEL BUCHER | DONT FORGET ABOUT ME


DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME
Lyrics and Music by Michael Bucher

I'm the one who has painted on the rock in the desert sun, I'm the one was buried with the small pox blanket on the run, I'm the one who built my burial ground for all to see never dreaming that the grave robbers prize would be me.

(Chorus) Don't forget about me I'm the voice singing in your head. Don't forget about me I told the stories that you have. Don't forget about me take notice of all they do if they do it to me who's to say they won't do it to you.

I'm the one with my heart buried at Wounded Knee, I'm the one who was tossed in the ditch of the Trail of Tears, I'm the one who was buried with my medicine bag in my hand, now my medicine bag is on some collector's stand - don't forget about me - don't forget about me.

I'm the one who has seen all the genocide first hand, they couldn't cheat me fast enough take what I had now, they built their trophy houses right on top of my grave, if they have no honor, than they have no shame. (Chorus)

Brian Francis Traveling the US Looking for...

Hondo Mesa Records recording artist, Brian Francis of the fantastic roots band, Kh'Mi, is traveling across the United States in search of... well, I'm not sure. Brian is probably sure. Below is a except from his rough draft "essay" (but really it's a burgeoning ethnography). I'll post more if you are interested.

I’m not here at Tom’s to drink Daiquiris'.

All day I’ve been taking the back roads across Texas: driving through a rolling ocean of grays and greens at seventy plus (the speed limit in most places). To my eyes it seemed a scrolling sea of dots flickering past,
glimpsed but not really seen.
All day I’ve been doing this and at last I’ve got as far as Lubbock, and I’m hoping to catch the second half of the game. Having little cash, Tom’s happens to be my only option, all the other places on the strip either have a steep cover or no television.
This is my reality, and presently it’s all about Tom’s.
