Howdy, friends!
Just wanted to give you a little idea of places to hear some of my homegrown red dirt music ~ this week and next!
Thursday, Sept. 23rd (tonight!) in Santa Fe, NM at The Candy Man Music Store, 7:30pm $10-15.
I will have the fabulous fellers, Patrick Turnmire (part of Don Conoscenti's band!) on percussion and Chipper Thompson (from Kim & The Caballero's Band and many other Taos groups) on mandolin and guitar playin' with me.
*Jerry Ferris, friend & songwriter from Santa Fe, will be opening up the evening with his own songs and poems. Come on out!
Note: Kim will be playing solo at The Taos Inn's Adobe Bar this next tuesday, sept. 28th at 7pm... she's a wonderful tradiitonal country-western singer- a beautiful person!
Saturday, Sept. 25th in Taos, NMat The Old Blinking Light Restaurant & Concert Hall, 7-10pm $5.
We might be outside! That would be loverly... course, you can always sit just inside the doors of the restaurant, too. The fine fellers, Pat and Chipper will be with me again this evening, too! What a great time we're having playing together. Wear your dancing boots!
Monday, Sept. 27th in Garden City, KS at the home of Russ & Debbie Tidwell, 7pm, $10-15.
Russ & Debbie's phone number is: 620-640-3818 and the address for the concert is 211 N. 6th in Garden City, KS
*I will have Jon Irsik playing guitar with me this evening!
**What a great way to end two and a half months of playing music on the road across the western and northwest parts of this beautiful country of ours, huh?!
Would love to see you out at any of these show, my friends.
And ... Thank you SO much for making me feel welcome and loved everywhere I've roamed this summer. Sure means a lot to me to have had safe travels and a joyful journey... while spreadin' a little 'red dirt music' around America!
~love from Monica Taylor
In October...
I'll be playing in Perkins, OK on Saturday, October 2nd 7pm... at the old High School gymnasium for the town's annual banquet & fundraiser for the Heritage park just outside of my little hometown of Perkins.
Contact the Perkins Chamber of Commerce for info.
Sunday October 3rd...
I'll be singin' that old western swing and jazz tunes in three part harmony as part of The Cherokee Maidens & Sycamore Swing as we perform in Wichita, KS. *More info for this event next week.
Thursday, October 7th, 7pm..
I'll be in concert at The Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame at the old Santa Fe Train Depot in Muskogee, OK with Greg Jacobs, Travis Linville, and John Fullbright- all some of my favorite Oklahoma songwriters/ performers and dear friends!
Sunday, October 10th 2-6pm ... at The Grape Ranch Vineyards, just south of Okemah, OK about 6 miles.
Uncle Don Morris and I will be performing together this lovely fall day! Don is one of my favorite people on this planet and has always been one of favorite songwriter/ performers, too! Ya'll come on out!
October 23rd, Saturday night in Stillwater, OK ... at Joseppi's Italian Restaurant - 8-10pm, but the time depends on the OSU football game's time. Tonight will be very special, my friends. I will have Terry "Buffalo" Ware on electric and acoustic guitars, and Uncle Don Morris on bass and sharing the singing. Will be a wonderful time- guaranteed!
Here's a little more that you will ALSO be happy to hear about!
Some good friends in concert:
Friday, October 8th, 7pm...Jimmy Lafave & Night Tribe are coming back to Tulsa, OK for a concert at The Blue Dome Diner!
You might want to reserve your tickets in advance- OK Ticket Outlet or by calling the Blue Dome Diner, 918-382-7866.
* Jimmy is a dear friend who spent his 'formative years' (grin) writing songs and playing in Stillwater, OK... my neck of the woods, you know. I'll be helping him out with the evening at the cd table and the door- might join him in a song or two.
He is going to have the loverly and talented Jess Klein with him as a special guest! Jess is a wonderful songwriter and performer who is also on his Music Road records label out of Austin, TX.
Note: November 11th, another Music Road record label songwriter will be at The Blue Dome Diner- Sam Baker, from Austin, TX !
One of the finest songwriters I've heard in along time- Jimmy told me a couple of years ago I needed to hear him, and he was right. Sam can captivate an audience with his songs, performance, and his storytelling... you ought to reserve your tickets for this show, too. I'll have a Reservations Book at Jimmy's show for this Nov. 11th Sam Baker concert. Jared Tyler is going to play mandolin and dobro with him, I think.
I will probably join Sam on a few numbers- he invited me to perform in Telluride, Co and then St. Maries, ID with him this July and August. We had a great time together...
Hope to see you all soon!

Are Albums Dead? Not In Hip-Hop
by Zoe Chace
NPR - September 16, 2010
If you needed any more evidence that the record album is in deep, deep trouble, know this: Last week's best selling album was Sara Bareilles' Kaleidoscope Heart. It sold 90,000 copies. When *NSYNC released No Strings Attached ten years ago, it sold 2.4 million copies in its first week. That's *NSYNC selling more than 26 times what Sara Bareilles did.
Other albums released this year have sold more than Bareilles' -- Lady Antebellum sold 2.4 million copies of Need You Now -- but it took a full six months of sales (from January 26th to July 9th) to match *NSYNC's first week.
Even if sales trends are swinging away from albums to digital singles, there is still an audience for albums, whether they're made by huge pop acts, new indie bands or hip-hop legends.
That's what the organizers of Rock the Bells were betting, anyway, when they made the lineup for their touring hip-hop festival. Last month crowds turned out in northern and southern California, New York and Washington, D.C., to see artists perform classic hip-hop albums in their entirety.
Snoop Dogg took the stage in a jumpsuit made out of a giant bandana and laconically spit all of Doggystyle, including a bonus track that was only on a limited number of tapes. A Tribe Called Quest did Midnight Marauders from track 1 to track 14, just like you used to hear it on your tape deck. The Wu-Tang Clan and KRS-One put down whole albums, too, and the crowd ate it up.
Count Stacy Glover in on that party. It reminded her of the parties she and her friends had back in the day, when they would put on one album and dance to the whole thing.
"We had the double album," she enthuses. "We blared it and just danced and celebrated. We had no furniture. It was perfect! We did the Soul Train line."
The reason Glover and her friends loved to listen to the whole record, says DJ Jay Smooth, is because every single song on the album was made by the same charismatic team of people -- a DJ, an artist and a producer, at minimum.
"This is the mythological team, like sort of a team of superheroes that had their own really strongly defined persona and brands," he says. "When you had an album length representation of that persona and that mythological character, it gave you a whole world."
Those days are over. Now, it's not uncommon for each song on an album to be produced by completely different teams. "So albums don't really represent one artistic statement," Smooth explains. "It's just the artist buying twelve lottery tickets hoping to get that platinum hit single. They don't have that much in common sonically."
But hip-hop artists still make their names by releasing a collection of tracks that tell a single, unified story. It just isn't called an "album," and they don't make money.
The mixtape has been around in one form or another since the beginning of hip-hop -- and it hasn't always been free -- but in this era of crash-and-burn album sales, it's been taking on new significance.
Famously, rapper Lil Wayne and producer DJ Drama collaborated on the mixtape series, Gangsta Grillz. The first mixtape was 29 tracks-long, each track leading to the next, unified by one vision. Kind of like an old-school album, except it was offered for free download and passed around by hip-hop fans online.
The record labels tolerate these releases because a) they don't really have a choice and b) it raises the profile of their artists. When Lil Wayne puts out a mixtape hosted by a high-profile artist like DJ Drama and it gets passed around on the internet, it's free publicity.
"If you have that DJ Drama pedigree, that's like being in Oprah's book club for hip-hop," says Jay Smooth. "I think the theory is, at least, that your next album should have more credibility because of that."
Aspiring artists still dream of making that classic album, a collection of tracks that announces who you are to the world.
"I'll probably make an album with an artist; that's what I'm kicking toward right now," says Marte Garner. He's a seventeen-year-old who works under the name DJ 40. He feels that even though a mixtape can get his name out into the world, he'll really be able to tell his own story on a real, old-fashioned album. "For me, I like to tell what my album will be about, so you know what you can look forward to," he says. "If I do that, more people will actually buy the album."
Or so he hopes. The larger trends in the music industry aren't supporting his vision. Still, Garner came to the Rock the Bells festival to get inspired by someone as old school as Snoop, playing to a sold out crowd that knows every word of the album that put him up on stage.

Flatland Travelers
August 10, 2010
STILLY STUDIO: The Flatland Travelers
Members share their influences and goals
STILLWATER, Okla. — Chris Bell, Sam Naifeh, Dylan Cahwee and Ryan Linden are members of the Flatland Travelers. The band has an eclectic mix of influences ranging from funk to bluegrass.
The band plays shows from Stillwater to San Antonio and has released a studio album - "Between the Tracks and the Runway."
"We had about eight original songs and we just felt like we needed to go experience the recording process, so we did that," said Naifeh.
The original three members - Cahwee, Naifeh and Bell - went to high school together in Sapulpa and began the band in middle school. The fourth member, Linden, joined the group last year when they met him through college.
The band plays to support the album, further the Stillwater music scene and to continue doing what the band members enjoy. According to Naifeh, that is one of the band's big goals.
"Being able to make music together as long as possible," said Naifeh. "Becoming better musicians and better friends."

The original three members - Cahwee, Naifeh and Bell - went to high school together in Sapulpa and began the band in middle school. The fourth member, Linden, joined the group last year when they met him through college.
The band plays to support the album, further the Stillwater music scene and to continue doing what the band members enjoy. According to Naifeh, that is one of the band's big goals.
"Being able to make music together as long as possible," said Naifeh. "Becoming better musicians and better friends."

Monty Harper News Flash - News on 6 - 4 Days to Go!
You're invited to my birthday party! Please see below for details.
Live show tonight (August 17) at the Stillwater Public Library! 6:30 PM. Best for kids 8-12, parents, and other intelligent hominids.
I was on the News on 6 in Tulsa and Channel 9 News in OKC! Reporter Dan Bewley came to Stillwater to film me and Dr. Wouter Hoff, the scientist who inspired the song "My Molecular Eye." He did a brilliant job putting the story together.
Please watch the video online, and please share the link. "My friend was on the evening news!" That's worth tweeting about, right?
There are only 4 days left for me to reach my funding goal for the "Songs From the Science Frontier" CD. If you haven't pre-ordered your CD yet, please do so right now!
Because of some scheduling challenges, I've had to be optimistic and go ahead and book studio time. I've also been meeting with my producer, Chris Wiser, to discuss song arrangements. We are pumped and ready to start recording on August 30! The CD is set to come out in October!
But ONLY if I reach my funding goal!! If I fall short, it will set the project back by at least a year, because Kickstarter only collects pledges if the entire goal is reached on time!
As I write this I am 71% funded, close enough to taste the chocolate!
I just need $2,590 more in pledges. I have 100 backers! I estimate I'll need around 40 - 50 more at the average pledge amount. That means reaching a lot more people over the next few days! Anything you can do to help spread the word will be greatly appreciated!
Our free song of the week this week is "Dog Books!" Don't just download the song, check out the podcast, too!
My friend, Patricia Shih has a new book out called "Truly Rotten Gigs from Hell: The Funny, The Sad, The Unbelievably Bad True Tales from the Music Trenches." Thankfully, I am not in it! But it reminds me of some of my best nightmares. There are 75 stories from 35 artists in 11 states and 3 countries, including stars like Pete Seeger, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, The Smithereens, two members of The Starland Vocal Band, Oscar Brand and many others. If you're a fellow musician, and even if you aren't, you'll get a kick out of this book. Check it out at www.patriciashih.com and tell her Monty says hello!
You are invited to my birthday party! August 21 is not just the deadline for my CD fundraiser. It is also my birthday! I'll be celebrating all day long via a live online video feed on UStream.tv.
We'll be chatting with visitors via UStream's chat box, broadcasting video, singing songs, and cheering for every new backer! Check in when you can by visiting my website, and wish me a happy birthday!
Things will really heat up as we get close to the goal, or around 7:00 PM, whichever comes first. When we reach the funding goal, Lisa has promised to smoosh a chocolate cake in my face to celebrate.
Are you a backer already? Don't miss the invitation to be here in person and share the fun. Look for the last "Backers Only" update on my Kickstarter page.
Thanks for your support!
