Mama Sweet says....
This is Whitney and I am writing to let you know that Aron will not be at the White Elephant this evening as originally planned. He has caught the flu. If he has any chance of making the shows this weekend, he needs to stay in bed. Thankfully, Kurt South (who opened for us at the White Elephant awhile back) has been kind enough to fill in. He is a great singer/songwriter so I encourage you all to go, check him out (at least a little while), and thank him for being such a kind and generous person.
Don't forget: Davis on Friday and Duncan on Saturday. Check the website, mamasweet.com for details.
Thanks,
Whitney

LABEL ANNOUNCES "PAY WHAT YOU WANT" POLICY FOR Mp3 DOWNLOADS
"We're the small mammal zipping around all the dinosaurs in the swamp"
AUSTIN, TEXAS--March 12, 2008--Austin, Texas-based publisher and record label Texas Music Forge announced today that it has begun a pay what you want policy for its mp3 downloads. The concept of allowing customers to download music and set their own price for it has been a topic of intense controversy in the music industry.
Label president Ed Kliman stated "Texas Music Forge is the small mammal zipping around all the dinosaurs in the swamp. The concept of pay what you want has gained traction in the music industry as online file sharing has made traditional CD and Mp3 sales more difficult. Additionally, the fact that anyone with a computer can now create and distribute music has made the task of finding an audience for new artists much more difficult. In the face of these challenges, the pay what you want model has begun to attract attention in a music industry which has seen a drastic drop in revenue at a time when music listenership has never been higher."
The concept of allowing fans to decide how much to pay for music downloads was pioneered by Canadian singer Jane Siberry and recently embraced by pop band Radiohead with its current release. A fairly consistent percentage of fans elect to pay for their downloads and both artists acknowledge turning a profit on releases where payment is voluntary. Encouraging fans to pass along Mp3s to friends, a practice which the music industry has tried to shut down, has also created favorable publicity and allowed both acts to attract a larger fan base.
All of the works in the Texas Music Forge catalog are presented as mp3 downloads with CD quality sound and consumers are offered the opportunity to pay what they want. The labels catalog carries both music and audio drama on their website at www.TexasMusicForge.com.
# # #
ABOUT TEXAS MUSIC FORGE: Formed in 2005 in Austin, Texas as a source for Mp3 downloads, Texas Music Forge has issued albums from a variety of artists such as The Twelfth Night Project and Ed Kliman, audiodrama such as History's Greatest Love Affairs and two cast albums for the Austin Shakespeare Festival. The label also creates professional music production libraries and licenses music. For more information, please visit www.TexasMusicForge.com or e-mail info@texasmusicforge.com

Van Halen, Complete With Diamond Dave, Returns To Rock Oklahoma City
They Heard You Missed Them – They’re Back
Van Halen, Complete With Diamond Dave, Returns To Rock Oklahoma City
By Clinton Wieden
Remember when your high school English teacher gave the traditional “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” assignment on the first day of class?
You know the one - that horrible paper where everyone writes the same story as the year before about the same people they’ve known for years. Most times, it was just first-day filler to give you something to do.
But once in a rare while, someone would actually have a good story. Somebody in the class would have done something wonderful with their break, and everyone else would immediately be jealous.
Remember that feeling?
Now imagine being in Wolfgang Van Halen’s class next fall.
The newest member of one of rock’s most enduring acts, all of 16 years old, got more material for such a paper on January 22 as Van Halen took the stage at Oklahoma City’s Ford Center.
At most recent Van Halen shows, one would often see the “Diamond” hand signal – an expression of the desire for a certain former frontman’s return. But there were no hand signals this night – there was no need. “Diamond” David Lee Roth was back.
And from the opening number – a short burst of the classic solo “Eruption” leading into the band’s famous cover of “You Really Got Me” – it was clear that the joy of a Van Halen show was back with him.
Roth spent the evening nailing the songs he made famous during his first stint as lead singer, changing costumes, doing flying jump-kicks, twirling microphone stands like a samurai would swing a sword, and just generally reminding the favorable crowd why he was so important to the band in the first place.
The brothers Van Halen – Eddie, the quintessential guitar god, and Alex, the percussive core of the band – were clearly enjoying themselves. The energy in the building was infectious, and it even caught hold of the normally stoic duo.
As for young Wolfgang, he held his own admirably. Roth referred to the combo as “three-quarters original, one-quarter inevitable,” and as well as the junior Van Halen took over the bass parts, that didn’t seem such a bad thing. The stage presence of former bassist Michael Anthony was missed, but musically, the band didn’t miss a beat.
Make no mistake – this was not a “Van Hagar” crowd here to see what all the fuss about the Roth years was. No, this was a crowd that wanted to travel back to 1984, and the band was happy to oblige.
Classics like “Runnin’ With The Devil,” “Beautiful Girls,” “Dance The Night Away” and “Everybody Wants Some!!” shook the rafters as the crowd sang along with every word.
Even lesser-known album cuts like “I’m The One,” “So This Is Love?,” and “Mean Street” kept enthusiasm high, helped along by Eddie’s inimitable guitar playing and Roth’s irrepressible grin.
The show continued with a flurry – “Unchained,” “I’ll Wait,” “And The Cradle Will Rock…,” “Hot For Teacher” – as more of the best-known material in the Van Halen canon kept flowing from the stage.
Roth provided the most interesting moment of the night when he appeared with an acoustic guitar and told a story of the band’s early days – bicycling around Oklahoma City on their first tour, partying in a friend’s backyard in Pasadena, CA, and some “herb”-induced voyages on the Starship Enterprise – before kicking into the fan-favorite “Ice Cream Man.”
Screaming versions of “Panama” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love,” along with an extended Eddie solo break, closed out the show.
There was only one song that could possibly be the encore, and the Ford Center audience let loose a roar when the synthesizer licks came through and the band launched into “Jump.”
It was an encore to remember – the band’s biggest hit, confetti everywhere, and Roth running around a catwalk with a giant inflatable microphone while wearing a boat captain’s hat.
This was a rock concert in the best sense –high-energy fun with an appreciative crowd. In contrast to Van Halen’s last tour, a 2004 effort with Sammy Hagar, this wasn’t a straightforward concert with little audience interplay. This was a show, and underlined the differences in the band’s two eras. Roth played to the crowd at all times, helping keep the enthusiasm high and reminding people of why they loved Van Halen in the first place – they were just more fun than any other band.
Musically, of course, the show was top-notch. Everyone playing an instrument was named Van Halen – would you expect any different?
Van Halen’s tour is scheduled to end April 7 in Milwaukee. Beyond that, no one is really sure what will happen: A world tour? A new album? A quiet return home for the band members? It’s unclear.
What is clear, however, is that Van Halen is still one of rock’s strongest acts, and with Roth, one of the most joyous.
And if nothing else, they’re making sure Wolfgang will get an A on that paper.

( Austin, Texas )--March 10, 2008--Country artist, Jackson Taylor will release his second single “Outlaw
Women” from the critically acclaimed debut album, Dark Days (Smith Music Group) in late March. The
