Jerald Corder forwarded: By Thor Christensen / Pop Music Critic of The Dallas Morning News Wow, funny to see his name pop up. He was the music critic for the Cincinnati Enquirer for, literally, about two weeks. Just sort of vanished. I never did hear why.

RE: Top Texans (long)
Hey, if you're going to take credit for those folks, you've got to take the blame for Houston native Kenny Rogers g. Anyway, not to take anything away from the folks listed, but it's too bad that Johnny Gimble was overlooked; artistically impeccable and enormously influential, as I've been reminded recently while rereading the interviews in Stacey Phillips' Mel Bay's Complete Country Fiddler.

The lineup is comprised of folks from other CT bands, including two Motel Preachers, two Bandidos, a Who Who (Kris Santala, a knockout singer), and Stacy on fiddle. Anyone within drinking and dancing distance of New Haven who wants to be updated on the calendar, email me offlist and I'll take care of it.

Probably because he got the big gig with the Dallas Morning News, one of the better daily papers in the country (IMHO of course) although I think the music section is not as good as when Michael Corcoran was in that positon.

Jerald the dallas paper is good but as conservative as they come and bow down to local big business like there is no tomorrowand the music section got weak after corcoran leftsome folks might not like mike but he had stylebyt then havin a style is not what the morning news really wants from it's writersimho anyway...
