Diana Ross at the Majestic
Diana Ross at the Majestic
Last Monday at the San Antonio Majestic Theater Ms. Diana Ross gave a wonderful performance to a packed house. Fans including myself were on their feet most of the night cheering Ms. Ross .
For many, it was a walk down memory lane evoking feelings long forgotten.
Having a seating capacity of 2,311 , it still felt very intimate during the hour and a half show.
With a very large library of songs. It is most difficult to pick the favorite sung that evening.
A Partial list of songs for the evening were :
Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz not Phoenix
Kaila White, The Republic | azcentral.com The Pastie Pops
The Pastie Pops
Pictures and story, joseph Martinez.
Last Saturday night I drop by “Up Town Studio” at 700 Fredericksburg Rd. to see local show “The Pastie Pops”. All involved in the show was just wonderful. The head liner was Missy Lisa, and featuring “Elle Du Jour”. There was a total of eight performers doing their own unique thing. Some, combining song with their acts Poetry and light hearted comedy
Creativity and Graceful moves went hand and hand all night long.
Adrian & the Sickness, Revisited
Adrian & the Sickness, Revisited
Adrian Conner and her band Adrian & the Sickness, were traveling into San Antonio to play at the “Tonic Bar” when she got tangle up in a small fender -bender. Maybe a little bum out but, it sure didn’t show in the music she played that evening.
Adrian & the Sickness “The Austin-based power trio Rocked all night long..
Last I saw Adrian it was about four years back. I thought to myself. “Does she still have it? “Absolutely …. Hell, Yaa. No wimpy music here. Stronger, Louder and still hits that music nerve that hard rockers need. .

Speaking to my editor Eddie, What is the best way to let San Antonio know about Night Bird, He said Give them a shout out when they come back to San Antonio. What Better timing than when my other favorite Texas band comes on in to town

“We don’t do costumes.” Frankly they don’t need it. Their talents flow freely on stage. It’s a joy to find a hidden gem here in San Antonio. If you Love “The Beatles” you will truly enjoy the
The BLUE NOTE RINGOS .
The Ringos are a cover band that stays true to the original songs played by The Beatles.
I get the impression of reverence when I was listening to them. I can truly see that they Love the Beatles music.

Alamo City Comic Con Experience 2014
I went to last year’s inaugural Alamo City Comic Con, and left that experience very impressed. I walked into this second annual convention wondering if the organizers of this event could top off the previous convention. My expectations were high, I’m happy to report that I was not disappointed with this 2014 convention. This event had everything you would want from a comic con family fun, costumes, art work, toys, comic books, and special celebrity guests.

Verónique Medrano was four and encantadora (charming) when the world lost Selena and was too young to realize what had transpired.
“I was a ‘90s kid, so I grew up listening to Selena, Emilio, La Mafia, regional pop hits such as ‘El Coco Rayado’ and watching Paquita del Barrio on Mexican television,” Verónique said during an interview at the Hispanic Entertainment Archives.
“You see, I grew up ‘On the Border by the Sea’ in the southernmost part of Brownsville (aka La Southmost). Besides listening to the radio and cassette tapes at home, there was always music in the house because there’s a lot of artistic nature in the family.
