Dot com. The original. The real one.
This is a Tejano Music site with a commonality line of balance.
Tejano awareness, reasoning, and Tejano music agendas ... and music dialogue are the main principals for all of you.
Progress in the advocacy and infrastructure of our Tejano music industry you could say, again, is the heart and rhythm of TMDC.
Throughout my lifetime music has been right next to me, from Austin Texas to San Jose California, and on to Phoenix Arizona.
I must admit all of this has been an exceptionally 'long music journey' since the good old days in Austin.
Today, well, I am grateful for the many advances in the digital world and how it's used in our modern day ...
... and in the fast-paced social media platforms, in the turbo-driven music apps, and in the exhilarating and exciting modernistic society.
Welcome back to my domain I had many years ago ...
TEJANOmike.com
Finally, I look forward to a new site because ... "It brings in a new life chapter, it opens another new path, and each day brings all of us another window of opportunity for
us to face the world
all over again."
Escape the norm
Since I am an Austin Texas Libra ... "I love beauty in all forms" and in all kinds of art/abstract pictures, 'astronomy has been one of my favorite subjects since I was eight years old' ... Love to write and compose 'love ballads' and tejano music, originals and conjunto, group, and band music arrangements; also, have written a few Latin and country charts.
I also play different kinds of music here, from super Tejano hits to light rock and new/old country, upload YouTube videos at times, and other music that I have in my music room, like salsa, oldies, Hawaiian, reggae, and classic hits. Have other interests such as world history, United States history, photography, computers, and digital effects. I use Photoshop to layout my own pictures of the universe, creation, and astronomy together - FAV planet? - Saturn.
I am currently reading music appreciation books on the powerful impact of 'music and the arts' ... [the music healthy human experience] ... and of course love military jets ... oh, and I truly love the beautiful sound of the flute.
Welcome back ... and
Music like life itself, I believe, can take us through so many roads, so many different paths, so many changes, traveling through city after city, but more importantly we also learn other things from so many people we meet along the way. That is the beauty of life itself. Having said that it's always a non-stop day for me, a full day of things to do around here. And surprises too!
I mean, unexpecting, I was on Google on Feb the 15th and decided to see if TMDC was available, and there it was, my old domain name from back in the mid-1990s! I just had to buy it and bring back more tejano music, the good times, and good old memories for all of us.
First, a few things to get started on the right footing:
-
What do I mean when I say, "The Real One?" Oh, 30 plus years ago I was the only TM from California to Florida. Now they're all over the map and the internet/social media too, so, welcome to the original TM, now in AZ.
-
Why bring it back you might be asking? Hmmm. Well first it's personal for several reasons, but I don't expect it to go ballistic like the first one; and I was a lot younger back then. Still, out of the 5-6 sites I've had over the years my dot com was my FAV one.
-
There are three new links - Visuals, The Past, The Army - I added them to make my picture gallery different, to go back in time with pictures and music, and to say a little about my military music background and my time in the Canal Zone, Panama. When I had this link years ago many old Army buddies seen it and then we started making plans to see each other again. We had Army Band Reunions.
-
Finally, what seems like an end of an era in tejano music, and most people just want to let go of things, I want to start a shift in total music perspectives, maybe better teamwork, use professional media coverage, more communication with San Antonio and from state to state, and access more apps and music platforms.
-
And ... if you still enjoy my music arrangements, my original material, and karaoke songs, well, they're still on the AFTERwords link. A reminder to just scroll down ... I thank you kindly for that beautiful music gesture.
-
Finally, back in the 90s TMDC functioned as a vibrant hub and vehicle for tejano music passion and a testament that, together, we can do more. I still want that spirit and alliance back into this new site, 2.0.
-
Ramp up.
[TEJANOmike is a passionate advocate for Tejano music, which is a genre that blends Mexican and US influences, often featuring instruments like the accordion and guitar. He runs a website called TEJANOmike.com ... where he shares his love for Tejano music, promotes its history, and encourages young musicians to excel in this genre.]
All the links on this music site are integrated and are a compilation of collected information for the process, perception, concept, reasoning, inconclusive narratives, and the power of comprehension - to improve our tejano music industry across the United States. Secondly, to represent TEJANOmike in totality and in an orderly method of ideas and presentations; both in life and in my music career. My own commentaries go further in depth and analysis, but not to the consensus of the majority. Tejano music discretion is strongly advised.
