Stephen A. Vinson replied to Matt Mesa's discussion 'What song simply brings a tear to your eye?'
I had to join this discussion again when you mentioned Townes's "If I Needed You" (...would you come to me, just to ease my pain). Simplicity can sometimes be perfect. And Townes usually added a poetic touch, didn't he? Check out…
Stephen A. Vinson replied to Matt Mesa's discussion 'What song simply brings a tear to your eye?'
My Gawd! Still a sad and pretty song, but you should have seen a thinner and higher pitched Tish twenty years ago. My girl friend-- now my wife of twenty years-- and I caught Tish out in Boerne, and we still have an autographed photo of Tish…
Stephen A. Vinson commented on Dave Isaacs's blog post 'The Grateful Dead & The Band - original Americana groups?'
My first reaction-- and probably my second reaction- -was 100% agreement with Isaacs.
Then, I got to thinking about it. What music doesn't owe to something before, what art doesn't? So "roots" doesn't have to mean something…
Stephen A. Vinson commented on Bob Moses's blog post 'Harmony Reigns'
Yeah, about your age-- me too. But, actually, "record" means to convert sounds to a recorded version, no matter analog or digital or what the media, and it also means a documentation of something that happened, so you're…
Stephen A. Vinson commented on Mando Lines's video
One of my prized possessions: an autographed "Happy Birthday, Steve" copy of "Poet in MyWindow, signed at the Cactus Cafe, I believe in 1982. I would have been 34 years old that day, 28 years ago. Nanci's voice like an…

Try the You Tube Mix for Nanci Griffith.
Seems so sexist, but anyone who has seen her perform can't help but comment on what a beautiful lady she is. True, but she meets the "Pretty is as pretty does" criteria, too.
Stephen A. Vinson replied to luiz paulo's discussion 'succeeded beyond one-note'
Looks like we had the same first reaction to the blog's theme.
If I had another artist to add, it would be Nanci Griffith. But she hasn't had even one big hit in the states, although "From a Distance" was a hit for…
Stephen A. Vinson commented on Gillian Turnbull's blog post 'Lost Record of the Week: Shelby Lynne, Just a Little Lovin’'
I, too, love the Dusty Springfield covers album, but Shelby, in general, is everything that the Nashville mainstreams- the latest being Taylor somebody--are not. Super underrated is our girl.

Well, Los Lobos for sure. "La Bamba" is the barest introduction to these guys.
Stephen A. Vinson replied to Lucky Mud's discussion 'Radio and Music'
Who is Steven? It's Stephen, and it has less to do with wrong feet than not paying attention. OK, we all make simple mistakes, but I think that you are making a very big one, so I will break it down again for you.
I am not…
Stephen A. Vinson replied to Lucky Mud's discussion 'Radio and Music'
I am sure that Michael DesAulniers's characterizations of an entire nation and its people as "backwards" and incapable of "growing up" is going to generate a lot of censure. Actually, his…
Stephen A. Vinson replied to Lucky Mud's discussion 'Radio and Music'
I was born a year later than you, so some of my experiences were similar, the cruisin' around and every teenager's car blaring the same station night and day. Especially, I remember KILT in Houston and how Gordon McLendon, "The…
Stephen A. Vinson commented on Stephen A. Vinson's blog post 'Let's make an album!'
Yeah, I'm sure that it is my bad, but my point is that sites should be pretty much idiot proof, especially if I'm the idiot. Otherwise, the visitor gets frustrated and/or gets mad or gives up-- both in my case. Perhaps you could do…
Butterflies Radio commented on Stephen A. Vinson's blog post 'Let's make an album!'
Just curious...when you say you signed up and were exposed to ads and videos, what site are you talking about? Butterflies Radio does not require anyone to sign up. Perhaps you are talking about the pop-up streamer. Signing up for that is completely…
Stephen A. Vinson commented on Stephen A. Vinson's blog post 'Let's make an album!'
I have to be honest here. I checked out their site, and I even got suckered into opening an account. For my trouble, I was exposed to numerous ads-- printed and video-- but I could not get their music to stream at all. They claim to…
Butterflies Radio commented on Stephen A. Vinson's blog post 'Let's make an album!'
Good day! I am the owner of Butterflies Radio which is an Internet based station that steams only music from independent unsigned musicians. I ran across your post and wanted to add my 2 cents.
There are many web sites out there that are trying to…

Let's make an album!
This happened to me and it's probably happened to you:
Messin' around on the blogs
Found an interesting artist I liked (Louche FC in this case)
Googled for any and all information about the artist
Found and listened to everything Icould find recorded by the artist
Only a few videos and audios-- why's this?
Artist not really published, only a never-heard-of-them label and 7 inch disc in the UK
DAMN-- I and my credit card want to buy…
