El Paso Scene
T
wenty years ago, the El Paso
Herald-Post printed its last edition
after 116 years of publication. The
afternoon newspaper had been kept alive
for many years by a form of life support
known as a joint operating agreement,
which allowed the larger El Paso Times,
owned by Gannett, to print, sell advertis-
ing for and distribute the Post.
By 1997 the Herald-Post had circulation
had fallen to below 20,000, and the
minority partner in the agreement,
Scripps Howard (owner of the Post),
could not stay in business without losing
money. The El Paso Times then was
probably printing about 65,000 copies a
day (and 100,000 or more on Sunday).
So here we are two decades later, and
the El Paso Times itself is teetering on
that same precipice of collapse. Its daily
circulation has fallen to around 23,200
net distribution (the amount printed
minus whats returned unsold) was down
to about 21,600. These numbers are based
on official periodical reports that the
Times is required to file each fall with the
U.S. Postal Service.
The decline has accelerated in recent the Scene as always.
years Times circulation dropped off by
one-third in just the past two years.
Meanwhile the newspaper has continued
to lay off newsroom employees and just
this month informed subscribers their
rates would go up almost 20 percent.
There is nothing on the horizon that
bodes well for the local newspaper, just
the abyss of financial collapse. If trends
continue, the Times will drop below the
20,000-circulation mark in the coming
year and be in the same position the
Herald-Post was in when it shut down.
I doubt the Times will ever close its door,
but we may see it drop to a 6-day or 5-
day-a-week publishing schedule in the
near future.
Newspapers like the Times cannot make
up for this decline with online products.
Although the Times aggressively markets
its website to both advertisers and sub-
scribers, the gain in online revenue will
not make up for the print downspin. The
saying in the industry is that print dollars
are replaced by digital dimes.

The print industry decline has impacted
El Paso Scene as well, but not to the
same degree. We still publish about
40,000 copies each month. Our average
page count is two-thirds of what it was at
our peak, but were holding steady.
Circulation is easy to maintain because
were a free newspaper we just have
to get our papers out there for people to
pick up. Our number of locations hasnt
changed either people keep picking up
Advertising is the tough part newer
businesses dont rely on print advertising
as much, preferring instead to focus on
social media. We still get new advertisers
nearly every issue because social media
cant match print for reaching new cus-
tomers or giving them something to refer
back to like a copy of the Scene can. And
the drop in Times circulation has also
driven advertisers to us.
Nevertheless, everyone should be con-
cerned about the future of journalism in
this city. No matter our opinion of the
Times, the daily newspaper has always
been the leader in local reporting. TV and
internet sites have a long way to go to
make up the gap. We cant afford to trade
the tradition of print for a digital dimes
worth of blogs and videos posted by self-
serving hobby journalists.
Even if the future is digital, we need to
ensure that local journalism not only
holds others accountable, but itself is also
accountable to the public.

slight altercation with his boss over the
ownership of a horse, killing him. He ran
on to New Mexico where he killed a
local sheriff because he thought he was
trailing him. Larn continued on, stopping
in Fort Griffin, Texas, northeast of
Abilene.
A nice-looking man with good manners,
Larn never swore in front of women and
had a reputation as a good dancer. He
quickly gained popularity with the people
of Shackelford and Throckmorton coun-
ties. He married Mary Jane Matthews
from one of the most important ranching
families in the area; her father owned the
Lambshead Ranch. The new bride and
groom built a large house along Clear
Fork at the Brazos River. Larn raised cat-
tle and joined a vigilante committee
named the Tin Hat Brigade. He eventual-
ly was elected sheriff. In one case, he had
a warrant charging some men with cattle
rustling. His posse, accompanied by 13
soldiers from Fort Griffin, surprised the
suspects near Throckmorton and killed
them all.
As sheriff, Larn made his good friend
John Selman a deputy. Not long after, he
and the wily Selman contracted with the
Army to provide three steers per day for
the Indians. The two planned to rustle the
beef from neighbors instead of using
their own. Soon their neighbors started
noticing missing cattle. Complaints grew
louder and louder. Oddly enough, Larn
and Selman never seemed to lose any
cattle from their own herd.
Other violent acts were being reported.
Groups of men thought to be led by Larn
and Selman were driving off others cat-
tle, shooting horses and generally terror-
izing neighbors. The ranchers figured out
the scheme, got a warrant to search

Taking a Look Back
by John McVey Middagh
Larns ranch and found cattle hides with
brands that didnt belong to him. Larn
was also accused of killing two stonema-
sons and a carpenter who had been work-
ing on his property. Larn resigned as
sheriff less than a year after taking office.
There was going to be a trial but the
vigilante got impatient, so they went to
Larns house before daylight. When he
came to milk the cow, he noticed riders
coming. Hed left his guns behind, but
continued on after recognizing some of
his wifes relatives. The riders surround-
ed the barn calling him out.
Larn yelled back, Well, if youll let me
get to the house and get my pistols, well
just have this out right now. They
replied, No, we will not do that. Youre
going to stand trial, and if youre inno-
cent, youll be innocent. But, if youre
guilty, youre guilty. They loaded him
up and took him to jail. He was one of
the most dangerous gunmen in Texas and
he was arrested while milking a cow. He
and Selman were said to be responsible
for more than 20 lynchings.
The jail was so poorly built that they
had a blacksmith chain Larn to the floor
of his cell. John Poe was standing guard
June 23, 1878, when nine masked vigi-
lantes overpowered Poe, intending to
take Larn out and hang him. Storming
the jail they saw that Larn was secured to
the floor. Nine Winchesters rang out,
killing him right there. Larns wife was
staying at a nearby boarding house. She
heard the shooting, and knew what had
happened. Mary took his body back to
their ranch and buried him alongside
their infant son.
Selman was warned of the events that
had taken place and left for Lincoln
County, New Mexico, where he started
his own gang, the Selman Scouts, before
landing in El Paso, where he once again
put on a badge, this time as a constable.
Selman brought trouble with him,
shooting and killing former Texas Ranger
Bass Outlaw in a wild brawl at Tillie
Howards brothel. Then in 1895 he
walked up behind John Wesley Hardin in
the Acme Saloon and put three bullets in
the back of his head. Less than a year
later, the 56-year-old Selman was killed
by U.S. Marshal George Scarborough in
an argument. Both Hardin and Selman
are buried at Concordia Cemetery.

 Clang, Clang, Clang,
Comes the Trolley!
Story by Lisa Kay TATE
T
he first streetcar may be rolling down
the tracks as early as February, but El
Pasoans will have to wait several
more months before catching a ride on the
citys new 4.8-mile trolley system.
For more than two years, city residents
and business owners have endured detours,
street closings and closed-off lanes while
roadways were torn up and tracks laid for
the $100 million project.
Six fully restored and renovated trolleys
eventually will carry passengers along two
loops, with 27 stops, powered by overhead
electric lines. The initial trolley runs will
be used to test the new tracks.
The first streetcar should be on the
tracks by February, said Raymond L.
Telles, executive director of the Camino
Real Regional Mobility Authority, the
agency in charge of the project. But at
this time Sun Metro will be doing a burn-
in. This is where the train will run for
some time, so they can conduct the series
of tests needed to make sure everything
runs safely and as it should.
Telles said the testing would mostly like-
ly be done at night when other street traffic
is less intense.
Passengers should be able to ride the
streetcars by later in the year. Once this
first streetcar is ready, he said, the next
ones should follow fairly quickly. Once in
place, the trolleys will be operated by Sun
Metro. The system will consist of a
Downtown Loop, running along Santa Fe,
Franklin, Kansas and Father Rahm streets;
and an Uptown Loop along Franklin,
Stanton, Baltimore, Glory Road and
Oregon street.
The route will connect the international
bridges, retail areas, government buildings,
convention center and downtown ballpark
with the medical center, University of
Texas at El Paso and several historic
neighborhoods, Sun Metro states in its
official description of the routes.
November 2017
The beginning and end point for both
streetcar routes will be at the streetcars
Maintenance and Storage Facility on Santa
Fe and Fourth Street, next to Sun Metros
Downtown Transfer Center.
I would say the infrastructure will be
95 to 98 percent completed by the end of
the year, Telles said.
The trolleys themselves will be nine com-
pletely restored Presidents Conference
Committee (PCC street cars), the same
cars that ran from the 1950s to the 1970s.
The vehicles are currently being restored at
the Brookville Equipment Corporation in
Pennsylvania.
These were the types of vehicles that
were running in 1974 when the trolleys
stopped running, Telles said. Three of
them will be painted like the cars in the
1950s, three like the 1960s, and three like
the cars in the 1970s.
One vehicle in particular, he said should
be extremely popular, and will include
decal replicas of the artwork done by late
El Paso artist Jose Cisneros, who once
helped paint the streetcars. That car also
will feature the original seating around the
edge of the interior, while the other cars
will include updated front-facing seats.
There is more to restoring these street-
cars than you would think, Telles said.
Were putting in a transit system that has
the look and feel of the past with a modern
system.
Bringing back the past
Telles said streetcars have been a large
part of El Pasos heritage, starting from
mule-driven cars at the turn of the last cen-
tury to electric-run trolleys that continued
into the early 1970s.
El Paso Electric was first known as El
Paso Electric Railway Company, Telles
noted. According to the companys history,
El Paso Electrics primary business con-
sisted of providing transportation via mule-

drawn streetcars, which were replaced in
1902 with electric streetcars. The compa-
ny removed the Railway from its name
in 1925.
There were routes all over town, Telles
said, but the flexibility offered by modern-
day buses and rubber tires made the elec-
tric trolleys less appealing, although sever-
al streetcars were still in use until 1974.
Even the trolleys best-known route, con-
necting El Paso and Jurez, drew com-
plaints from Jurez businesses that saw the
trolleys as hurting commerce on their side
of the border by taking shoppers across the
river. That route was canceled in the early
1970s.
Even when the streetcars were long gone,
the memories and connections to them
remained. Mandy the Mule was a well-
loved image of the citys mule-drawn trol-
ley car heritage. A restored mule car and a
replica of Mandy were displayed in down-
town El Paso for many years, first at San
Jacinto Plaza, then at Cleveland Square. In
the 1990s, the El Paso - Juarez Trolley Co.
took residents and tourists to Juarez, the
Mission Trail and other locations in rub-
ber-tired buses designed after historic
streetcars.
HiGH tech for vintage cars
With a new transfer center and track sys-
tem, Sun Metro is getting ready for this
addition, with a whole new division dedi-
cated to the streetcars.
Carl Jackson serves as Sun Metros
Assistant Director in charge of Streetcar
Operations. He said it takes a different set
of skills and workforce to help create and
work with any new rail system, and said
those working with the operations at Sun
Metro, as well as the public, are looking
forward to the challenge.
Everyone Ive talked to has been very
excited, he said. The staff here is eager
to see everything come together.
Photos and graphics courtesy of Sun Metro.
He said the staff right now has just a cou-
ple of key employees, and is just starting
to grow. They are looking at hiring more
employees at various levels soon.
The new trolley system is already receiv-
ing attention from streetcar and rail enthu-
siasts nationwide, he added.
Theres going to be a huge amount of
tourism from this, Jackson said. Im
hoping it will spur even more Downtown
businesses and groups to encourage it as
well.
Jackson, a third-generation railroad and
public transportation specialist who grew
up in New York where rail systems are
plentiful, has been a fan of trolleys and
railroads since he was as a kid. He said
working with the new streetcar system has
been a wonderful experience that he
looks forward to being a part of every
morning.
Every young kid looking at a model
train set would feel the same way, he
said. It takes me to a time when I was lit-
tle, and was first fascinated by this.
Getting to see some of the details the
public may not see, Jackson added, such as
the installation of the switching machines,
is something which any railroad enthusiast
would envy.
Jackson said it is a testament to the work-
manship and design of these original cars
that upgrading them for todays world with
Wi-Fi and air conditioning was not a diffi-
cult undertaking.
Were going to get to enjoy the design
equipped with modern technology the orig-
inal designers never dreamed of, he said.
There will be a lot of 21st century fea-
tures in an early 20th century vehicle.
Jackson said those who take advantage of
Sun Metros regular transportation passes
will be able to use them on the streetcars
as well, and the fees should be the same as
bus fees.

Jackson said the streetcars should encour-
age commercial development along the
route.
This is a big deal for developers, he
said. They know once these tracks go into
the ground they are not going anywhere.
I would like to see similar systems start
up around the city, Jackson said, adding it
would be great for El Pasos historic street-
cars to be more and more a part of the
citys transportation offerings.
Once the cars are up and running,
Jackson said, he hopes to work with high
school and college students to help them
learn the technology and mechanics
uniquely related to this system.
My wish is for there to be an intern sys-
tem for those aspiring to learn a different
technology entirely new to the area.
Jackson, who has worked with rail sys-
tems for three decades, said the best part
about working in Streetcar Operations has
been coming to El Paso.
Ive worked with projects in cities such
as Seattle, Kansas City, Portland and
Atlanta, he said. El Paso has some of the
friendliest and nicest people I have ever
met.
He hopes to repay that hospitality by
helping create a worthy new attraction and
mode of transportation to the city.
It is wonderful to be in a position where
Ive been able to see streetcars in the past,
and to be able to be part of bringing them
back for people today, Jackson said. It is
sort of like paying it forward.
Campaigning for trolleys
Among the people who led the campaign
to bring back the trolleys, Telles said, were
former city council members Steve Ortega
and Ted Houghton.
Ortega said the idea for the streetcars
return to El Paso dates back to at least
2011 when city representatives were look-
ing for new ways to incorporate the citys
history into its current day appeal.
We had put together a presentation on El
Pasos history for the new city council
members, he said.
The presentation was created with the
help of Nestor Valencia, who had worked
as Director of Planning for the City of El
Paso.
We talked about one of the projects the
city needed to look at, and one of them
was the streetcars, Ortega said. I learned
the streetcars ran from 1902 to 1974. In its
heyday, you could travel all over the city
in the streetcars.
The first step was to think about where
the new streetcars would be able to go
first, should they return to the city. One of
the destinations would cover the
Downtown area to accommodate the future
ballpark, the Arts and Museum districts, as
well as cultural, historic and government
buildings. Another area would stretch
towards UTEP and its nearby hospitals.
The cost was estimated at about $100
million. Houghton was exceptionally
instrumental in the financing, acquiring
funding from the Texas Department of
Transportation.

Anne Mitchell, owner of So El Paso,
which features products by El Paso area
artists and similar lines, said the installa-
tion of the tracks hurt her Stanton Street

sustainable growth along and near the

This is already seen as a positive for
development in the area, Ortega said. I
think it will set a spark in the interest in
the development of downtown.
He noted, like all projects, there are those
skeptical of the success of the streetcars,
but he recalls similar worries were
expressed toward the other success stories
including the downtown ballpark and the
renovation of the Plaza Theatre.
Ortega said the effects are already evi-
dent. He said the fact that the future
streetcar line is listed as a factor in sever-
al residential and business listings, as well
as with hotels such as the downtown
Double Tree, are indicators that the com-
munity, overall, wants to see the streetcars
in action.
I think you can argue this project has
already been a success, he said.
Ortega hopes these first tracks are only
the beginning.
My hope is we dont stop here, he said.
I would like to see the tracks extend to
the Texas-Alameda Corridor in the future.
The streetcar, he feels, is one of the signs
El Paso is experiencing a renaissance of
revitalization and growth, especially in the
historic Downtown area. Ortega looks for-
ward to seeing the inspiration the new
streetcar route will create with others.
This is a very exciting time for the
entire community, he said. Were using a
hallmark of the past to chart our way into
the future.

neighborhood.
He said the store wont be vacant for
long, as a new bakery and caf, Savage
Goods, will be opening in a couple of
months at the same location on the corner
of Nevada and Oregon. He said thats good
news for both Sunset Heights and the pas-
sengers on the streetcar.
Savage Goods owner Michelle Savage,
who had been offering rustic baked goods
at weekend Farmers Markets, said every-
one at the bakery is looking forward to
their first brick and mortar location
being on the streetcar route.
Were really excited to open our cafe on
the streetcar route; its such a great way to
connect the surrounding neighborhoods
with downtown, Savage said. Were also
really looking forward to the opportunities
it will give us to collaborate with other
businesses along the route.
Marcus said he feels those working with
the project, and the Sunset Heights area
where he runs his gallery, will benefit each
other.
Yes, we believe in the streetcar project
and the street car project believes in us ...
so its all good, he said. My home and
my gallery are across the street from each
other and the streetcar will stop right in
front of our home. So we will just connect
the dots and reap the rewards! And we will
all live happily ever after.
Telles said the project has made commu-
nity relations a priority.
We knocked on doors with an extensive
outreach program, he said. We told them
when the project was in the beginning
stages we were going to be tearing up
some streets. We gave them a timeline of
when and for how long we would be doing
it. Im happy to say most of the timelines
have been met, and others were completed
ahead of schedule.

holiday gift options
f you are seeking something a bit out
of the ordinary for your Christmas gift
list here are two suggestions:
Cross Gallery Working out of her
home studio which she has christened
Cross Gallery, Rachael Davis creates
one-of-a-kind beaded crosses that have
become popular gifts for Christians young
and old.
A native El Pasoan, Davis spent her early
years in the job placement industry, work-
ing as what is commonly referred to as a
headhunter. She ran her own successful
business for a number of years, but a
decade ago the manufacturing industry
moved much of its production to Mexico
and then China. Davis began seeking other
business options.
Davis notes, Ive been a creative person
all my life. I dabbled in painting on the
side, and I have always loved to bead.
From my earliest years, Ive also been a
collector of crosses. Putting these inter-
ests together, the first cross she made
became a gift to her sister. Later friends
saw her work and purchased pieces so
what started off as a hobby has now
become a full-fledged business.
Although crosses are her only subject
matter, each one is unique in itself. I bead
on nails, on silverware spoons and
knives, on wood, on rebar anything I can
turn into a cross, I do. In fact I see crosses
everywhere. The Loretto Academy gradu-
ate jests, Even though my time there was
a few years ago, you cant get the Catholic
out of me, and I think that influence is
reflected in the soul of my work.
As to opportunities to see her work,
Davis relates, I can only do a few shows
each year because what I do is so labor
intensive. Having participated in several
shows earlier this fall, her last two appear-
ances will be at the Junior Leagues A
Christmas Fair the first weekend in
November, and the La Casa Fair in the Las
Cruces Convention Center the first week-
end of December. Those interested can
also see her work at her Cross Gallery at
5737 Montoya. Phone: 585-9977.

vating creations using dichroic glass. The
word dichroic means two colors, refer-
ring to the reflected color and the transmit-
ted color. She explains that the jewel-like
effect of her pieces is obtained by starting
with a black base glass, stacking layers of
glass on that and then covering it with a
cap of clear glass, thus creating a mass
which selectively reflects certain colors of
light while allowing others colors to trans-
mit through it.
I purchase the dichroic in 4 x 4 sheets
and then cut these into smaller pieces.
From there its like making a glass sand-
wich. I only use glass that is manufactured
in the United States. Using up to four lay-
ers, I work with clear dichroic along with
the solid colors and much of the clear is
patterned so you can get some very inter-
esting combinations. In fact, some come
out with almost a 3-D effect. But no matter
how many sheets I use, it turns out to be
the same thickness. The physics of the
glass is that it will melt down to a quarter
November 2017
of an inch when you use the full-fire heat,
which goes up to 1450 degrees.
Her pendants are either round or oval.
She occasionally uses a ring saw to cut a
few different shapes. She also offers a
variety of bracelets. Price tags on her work
range from as low as $15 to less than $100
in most instances, which makes her work
very attractive as a specialty gift. She
includes either a silver or black woven
chain with her pendants, and the glass
drops in her bracelets are all set in high
quality silver plate.
I try to use the highest quality I can and
still keep my prices very affordable, she
said.
Hines is originally from Michigan and
still spends summers there on the St. Clair
River. A job with Delphi Automotive in
Jurez brought Rose and her husband to El
Paso in 2004. When her own job at Fort
Bliss ended in 2011, Hines began her inter-
est in making glass jewelry.
I spent a lot of time visiting my friend,
Joan Smith, who lives in Tucson. I attend-
ed some classes and went to glass shops
with her, so she takes credit for getting me
interested in this unusual business. In addi-
tion to time with Joan, I learned a lot
online, and she still helps out by answer-
ing questions on how to do this and that.
Hines will be showing her work at
Ardovinos Holiday Market at Desert
Crossing Dec. 3 and at Art in the Park on
Nov. 11-12.

Nov. 25: Everything in Mama
very time I hear an interview with
someone nominated for a top
award, whether itss an Oscar, a
Heisman Trophy or a Nobel Prize, that
person will say something like, Its an
honor just to be nominated.
Most of the time I just chuckle to myself
and assume that the person will be crushed
if they dont win. But after studying what
the Bible says about heavenly rewards, I
realized that in Gods gala awards ceremo-
ny, everyone will be happy no matter who
gets what.
The concept of heavenly rewards has
been swept under the carpet by most con-
temporary Christian teaching, which tends
to focus on salvation by faith. The born
again emphasis treats good works as just
the icing on the cake of belief. Belief is
viewed as what gets you past the pearly
gates, so all else pales in comparison.
This past year my church has focused on
the Red Letters, the actual words spoken
by Jesus as passed on to us by his disci-
ples. I occasionally teach at the Sunday
morning service, and my topic coming up
in early November is on heavenly
rewards. What surprised me was that
Jesus taught a lot more about good works
and rewards than about salvation itself.
In Jesus earliest sermon in Matthew
at the end of the Beatitudes in Chapter 5
Jesus talks about the reward in heav-
en that awaits those who suffer persecu-
tion in Jesus name. I found many more
references to rewards in heaven and
rewards from the Father throughout the
gospels. Then in the final chapter of the
New Testament, Revelation 22:12, the tri-
umphant Jesus announces, Look, I am
coming soon! My reward is with me, and I
will give to each person according to what
they have done.

I cant say that I figured out completely
what heavenly rewards are, but my study
pointed in some directions. Not all heav-
enly rewards are postponed until the next
life. God intends all of us to experience
some degree of heaven even now, and
along with that, to receive the rewards of
spiritual gifts and opportunities to use
them. And while we may not think about
rewards, God realizes that rewards can
direct us and encourage us just as any
parent would use rewards to guide a child.
The Bible also teaches that every believ-
er will be judged according to his or her
works after this life and that there are
different levels of rewards. While some
might cringe because this sounds like
some will be praised and others con-
demned, thats not what the Bible says.
The judgment of believers is more like
an awards ceremony in which everyone
has reason to celebrate.
Ultimately, heavenly rewards are not
about us, but about recognizing how God
has worked in and through our lives, both
as individuals and collectively. Its often
the case with any award that the winner
realizes that he or she did not have as
much to with deserving that prize as the
people who helped them. So it is with
whatever rewards we might receive in the
life to come.

 Sun City offers
Rocky Horror
as musical treat
T
hose with a penchant for dressing
up this time of year might find
Sun City Musical Theatres offer-
ing of Rocky Horror Picture Show a
fun way to enjoy the scary season of
late October and early November.
We decided that although we cater to
family-friendly entertainment, we could
really pull this show off and do it justice
with the rock-solid cast. We wanted to
do something Halloween-themed with-
out it being too heavy or scary, and this
just seemed to line up perfectly with the
amount of rehearsal time we had, said
director Courtney Curtis, whose film
and TV credits include Hawaii 5-0,
Godzilla, and The Last Resort. said, was the music.
She is particularly excited about the
new male talent in the show.
We have Eddy Frayre as the lovely
Frank-N-Furter. You may have seen him
downtown performing as the beautiful
Kitana. Another new face would be Javi
Ochoa as Rocky, Francisco Carrion as
Eddie and Dr. Scott, and stage veteran
David Herring as Brad Majors. Lead
females include Emily Clark as Janet,
Ana Grajeda as Columbia, and herself
as Magenta.
Rocky Horror the musical is mostly
known from the 1975 movie made from
it, which starred Tim Curry, Susan
Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick.
The show is about two young adults
who are very innocent and nave in the
beginning of the show, said Curtis, a
graduate of the American Musical and
Dramatic Academy. They seem to get a
flat tire and have to turn to a castle in
hopes for help. Once they get to the cas-
tle though, things go incredibly side-
ways for them. It is easiest to describe
being like something out of the
Twilight Zone. The two are definitely
never the same again. If you havent
seen the show, I will leave it at that. If
you have seen the movie, well, you
know what is in store for them.
Curtis encourages the audience to come
dressed as the characters in the show,
just as the movies fans often do at
Page 34 El Paso Scene
screenings. They will even provide
some of the requisite items to throw,
like toast, toilet paper and rice.
Definitely we want audience partici-
pation at every show, Curtis said. We
are even making a bag of all the fun
stuff available to purchase for $5 so
everyone has a chance to be involved.
One challenge of the show, Curtis
The written vocal part for all of the
phantoms and backup singers is more
challenging than the movie, and so that
was an early on struggle.
The other was fitting sets in their small
space.
We tore down what we had, and we
revamped the panels and added double
doors and have rolling pieces. Lets just
say the audience will hopefully be in
awe of how we fit everything in our
smaller space.
Curtis also is proud of how far the
new theater group has come in one
short year.
We feel we are finally getting some
word of mouth and good buzz, and peo-
ple are finally finding out about us. We
have been overwhelmed with support so
far this season and cant wait to see
whats next.
Upcoming shows planned are an origi-
nal story, Believe about finding the
meaning of Christmas and set to tradi-
tional Christmas music. In the new year
comes The Wizard of Oz.

 Step back in time with I Love
the 90s at SW Univ. Park
When it comes to nostalgia tours, 80s rock
has been big business in recent years, but
now the 90s is the new retro. So some nutty
promoters decided to give us the wackiest
road show we have seen in a while. This is
either someones dream or a nightmare more
terrifying than any ghoul or goblin could
dream up. If its your dream, then it will
come true Oct. 28 when Southwest
University Park welcomes I Love the 90s.
This concert features six acts from the era
that dominated MTV and radio. The concert
is primarily pop, R&B and dance heavy, with
a lineup that includes Snap of The Power
and Rhythm Is a Dancer fame. The dance
pop side also includes C&C Music Factory,
with four hits under their belt. All-4-One will
handle the tender love ballads, and former
Entertainment Tonight host and Sugar Ray
frontman Mark McGrath will keep the rock
side of the party going with a bevy of Top
Ten songs from the decade. Lastly, rap is
represented by Tone Loc bringing his Funky
Cold Medina. Headlining the event is Salt
n Pepa, who will push it real good and talk
about sex all night long.
Bash & Pop, Friday Night is
Killing Me, Omnivore Records
After 24 years since this albums first
release, Tommy Stinson has gone back to the
beginning by way of Omnivore Records, a
label that unearths long-forgotten master-
pieces and not only puts them back in circu-
lation but upgrades their sound and expands
on their greatness. This disc first came out
after the crumbling of his first band, the
Replacements, and decades before he joined
Guns N Roses for the Chinese Democracy
era. Friday Night is Killing Me in its origi-
nal form was very close to his former bands
heart, with a punky, Stones-y sound, and
touches of rootsy twang bubbling under.
There were 11 cuts, each one leaving you
anxious for the next. The new double-disc
collection tacks on 18 more tracks, with
home demos, alternate versions, an instru-
mental and unreleased tracks. The last on the
list criminally takes up only three slots (and
one of those occupied a space on the
Clerks movie soundtrack). These songs are
simply amazing and it is baffling why they
were originally omitted. Even the sole instru-
mental is so intriguing that it beckons for
lyrical content maybe on the next reissue.
Living Colour, Shade,
Megaforce Records
Each member of this band has now passed
the half-century mark, and its been nearly
three decades since Mick Jagger produced
and provided backup vocals for their track
Glamour Boys. The worlds greatest rock
n roll band even gave them the coveted
opening slot on the 1989 Steel Wheels
tour. This quartet last surfaced eight years
ago, and even that was after an extended hia-
tus. Their overall output has been spotty at
best. Between breakups, solo projects and
lead vocalist Corey Glover bizarrely taking a
spot as a VJ on VH-1, the band has not been
the most dependable for consistent releases.
Yet theyve been very reliable in their later
days making every release heavier and heav-
ier. Their newest is Shade, an energetic
combustible monster with a loud wailing gui-
tar, a constant rattle of the percussion sec-
tion, some super-funked horns and enraged
vocals. Its mood is reminiscent of 1993s
Stain with dark themes, but it keeps the
pedal pressed to the floor for all 13 tracks.

ing harmonies. Daves young newcomer
kicks Pa in the backside every now and again
with some more rocking numbers, accented
with some serious guitar soloing. He also
brings in touches of his day job as an accom-
plished electronic/dance musician. The prime
example comes in the form of the title track,
Open Road, complete with a beat that will
be foreign to most Kinks fans. Dont let that
scare you; it is a stellar cut. The hope now is
while Dave and son are on the Open Road
they will pick up brother Ray so the The
Kinks 2.0 can finally record some new
music.

Halloween 77, Zappa Family
Trust and Universal
I have never professed to be an expert in the
world of Frank Zappa, but have always been
partial to his music. I even spent many of my
early teens hunting down his Sheik
Yerbouti, eventually ending up with an
immaculate Japanese vinyl pressing and
breaking my piggy bank. The thing I am
really a sucker for is elaborate packaging
sadly it doesnt always even matter what the
music is, a good wrapping can usually pull
me in. The great thing is Halloween 77
boldly checks off both boxes. Lets start with
the music itself. The songs are from Oct. 28-
31, 1977, where he and his band played six
historic shows at The Palladium in New York
City. This is being released in its entirety,
with all 158 tracks mixed in 2016, coming
from original vault masters. Now for the
packaging: All of this will be loaded onto a
Zappas Oh Punky fun-size, candy bar-
shaped USB drive in 24-bit WAV audio. This
ultra-limited set will include a retro
Halloween mask featuring his likeness and a
costume of Zappa himself. If you are reading
this before Halloween, act fast and you can
say Trick or Treat as Frank Zappa.
