National Tejano Convention-Day 2: ReflectionsRandom thoughts/quotes that stood out from yesterday's forums... There were many great points brought up at a forum yesterday called Tejano Music Today, the state of the industry...here are a few: Tejano music really hitting in pockets of Mexico. Music is cyclical---It wasn't long ago people were saying Rock was dead, and then came Nirvana Pronunciation of Spanish lyrics is very important! ***************************** The sounds were amazing! The pace and rhythm of walk was controlled by the music---Tejano Sound Band from Lansing, Michigan was the first band I heard. I recall walking around the booths simply amazed at the accessibility to the bands, and LEGENDARY PIONEERS of Tejano Music! Oh, and the sounds---so many bands, so little time. Everyone I met was so friendly! I didn't know Elida Reyna had a line of cosmetics, but she had a booth set up there for her music and cosmetic line. http://elidaonline.com/Elida_Cosmetics.html Even Later at the Dance... I arrived early and couldn't believe the set up---I guess I wasn't expecting so many tables and chairs---and later a majority of were filled, but not all of them. Although I was told tonight we should expect an even bigger turnout. At one point it was announced that there were people present from least 20 states! I know there were folks from California, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Colorado, and of course Texas---so I wonder about the other 14 states. Hmm... Frustrated with technology, and trying to absorb everything going on I was wishing everyone could be there to experience this, or at least have an opportunity to see it televised! Hey, wait a minute---why isn't there a local show like that somewhere in North Texas?! I know in Corpus Christi there is the Domingo Live! Show, and there was also Johnny Canales Show. Maybe there is and I just can't get it in Red Oak where I live! IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TONIGHT, TICKETS ARE $65.00 www.tejanoticket.com Some folks might think that is too much for one night and I can see why, especially with the price of gas to get here if you are coming from out of town, and then costs for food and hotel----but if you think about it, how much would you end up paying to see each of these artists in travel and cover charges individually. Much more than $65! YouTube has video of previous Tejano Conventions and other Tejano Music events----so be sure to look for footage of this year's convention very soon! |

Great coverage! Really like your insights. Almost makes up for not being there in person!
