Reel Thanx Benefit & Scott Matthews Ship Off Party

Posted by Ryan "Tank" Hargrave on Tue, February 16, 2010 · What's Going On · Leave a comment

Our good friend Scott Matthews has made the courageous decision to join our nation’s military. After retiring from the San Antonio police force and kicking the tires on a full-time music career, Scott is heeding the call he has heard to join the Army. Scott is one of the backbone’s of our Galleywinter community and personifies the soul, grace and selflessness of so many members of the GW community and Texas/Red Dirt music community at large. He’s having one last hurrah at Billy’s Ice. The details are below. All proceeds will go to ReelThanx.org; an organization that takes wounded veterans on fishing excursions.

A general topic of announcements and random tidbits that don't fit anywhere else.

Today In Music

{1936}
Singer, songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson was born in Brownsville, Texas. His first success as a songwriter came when Roger Miller recorded "Me and Bobby McGee." That song was turned into a million-seller by Janis Joplin in 1971. And Sammi Smith sold a million with "Help Me Make It Through the Night," another Kristofferson song. By this time, Kristofferson had begun his career as a singer, and in 1972, his single, "The Silver-Tongued Devil and I," was certified gold. His other successes have included the single, "Why Me," and the albums "The Silver-Tongued Devil and I" and "Jesus Was a Capricorn." In 1985, Kristofferson, along with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, recorded the hugely successful "Highwayman" single and album.
{1981}
Mark David Chapman, a 25 year-old drifter, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of John Lennon. On December 8th, 1980, Chapman shot Lennon seven times in front of Lennon's New York apartment building just hours after the former Beatle had given him his autograph.
{1997}
Starting today this week in 1997, Hanson went to #1 with "Mmm Bop" and Wu-Tang Clan went to #1 on the album charts with "Wu-Tang Forever". This signified the beginning of the dominance of teen pop and hip-hop as the predominant music genres in American pop culture.
