"Hello tejanos out there! Thank you for visiting and I'm so glad you're here at TMDC. Explore the new site, the new links, the new commentaries and new pictures, plus the latest updates & good tejano music. Welcome to my home, my little music corner of the internet ... Enjoy your stay."
This is a Tejano Music site ... with a commonality line of balance.
"Meaning ... "
A music balance of Tejano awareness, logical/sound reasoning, and Tejano music issues/agendas ... plus music dialogue are the main principals of this site, and 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.'
I also believe 110% that music like life itself can take us through so many roads, so many different paths, so many changes, traveling through city after city, playing in other states and countries, but more importantly we also learn other things from so many people we meet along the way. That is the beauty of life itself.
Plus, throughout my lifetime ...
Music has been right next to me, from Austin TX to San Jose CA, and now in Sun City West AZ.
"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 and present day.
It is a fast-paced world out there with social media platforms, better commerce and overall music markets, many turbo-driven music apps ...
"And we live in a exhilarating and exciting modernistic society with new trends, exclusive choices, and exciting paradigm models of the future."
"BTW, since I'm from Austin Texas, a Libra, well ... "
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 ... I love to write and compose 'love ballads' and tejano music, originals and conjunto, group, and band music arrangements; also, I have written a few Latin and country charts; a few of them on the 'Music' link.
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 computer, like salsa, oldies, Hawaiian, reggae, and classic hits. Other current interests are world history, United States history, photography, computers, and digital effects. I use Photoshop to layout my own pictures of the universe and our solar system together - FAV planet? - Saturn; love the flute; need to get a hold of me? All my info is below. Holler back.
Finally, I look forward to a new day and 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."
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. I would like to welcome all the new visitors from other states and countries, and much gratitude for long-time supporters of TM.
Remember my factoid: "For all our music industry failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, us tejanos and tejanas are capable of greatness. We are a courageous generation, but without imagination, without a business alliance, and without total unity, we will go nowhere with La Nueva Onda." 05/14/2022
