On the Road with Dave Alexander
This old world is constantly changing yet some things never change, but they do get better. That was my first thought when I heard the first cut from a brand new CD by my friend and fellow musician Mary Kaye.
Having worked with this traditional western roots singer/songwriter over the past 10 years, I feel like I know her voice, style and presentation pretty well. Well, that’s what I thought anyway.
“Frontier” is Mary Kaye’s fifth and latest CD to date and I’m happy to say, it’s her best one yet. She’s always been blessed with a voice like an angel; however, her delivery on this CD is unprecedented. Her original compositions are cleverly woven within traditional western anthems of the cowboy world. I like everything about it.

Add the taco seasoning to the ground beef and 2/3 cup water. Stir well and let sauce thicken.
Transfer the ground beef to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Sprinkle the diced green chilies over the ground beef layer. Combine the shredded cheeses and sprinkle them over the ground beef and chilies. Set aside.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the egg whites in a medium-sized bowl, and the yolks into a separate medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, flour, salt and cayenne pepper to the yolks. Whisk to combine.

This month western meets safari with this fun army green jumpsuit. I love a good jumpsuit that is simple but stylish and can be accessorized in so many ways. This one especially caught my eye because of the western yoke detail. See this and more at www.jessesjewelz.com
University of North Texas music students were in awe by Texas Music icon, Lyle Lovett recently during his visit to the Denton campus to share his music and personal secrets on navigating a successful music career.
The four-time Grammy winner has recorded 14 albums and has released 25 singles throughout his illustrious career. He’s also most famous for creating his Large Band consisting of his talented rhythm section and a full horn section.
I too have had the honor of recording with Lyle during my time with Asleep At The Wheel and being a UNT grad, I was pleasantly surprised by this act of good will toward these young musicians.
