The Carolyn Wonderland Group ~ Untitled (for Molly Ivins)
The Carolyn Wonderland Group -- Untitled Song (for Molly Ivins)
An untitled song, dedicated to the late Molly Ivins, written and performed by Carolyn Wonderland at the Texas Heritage Music Foundation/Schreiner University Coffeehouse Series at Schreiner U's Cailloux Student Center, 7 March 2007, in celebration of Women's History Month.
Here is Carolyn's Press Bio:
Carolyn Wonderland has the goods. A triple threat with her diverse songwriting, soulful vocals, and guitar goddess status - all featured on over twenty CDs, six of which are her releases - she has a pedigree in this business that's hard to match. A bit of a renegade, she likes to incorporate elements of Blues, Country, Swing, Zydeco, Surf, Gospel, Soul, and some nights, maybe even a Cumbia into the musical mix. Recent years have seen her stretching out musically working some expert whistling and scat singing into her shows. In addition to her trusty guitar, Patty, Carolyn has been regularly playing her trumpet, and even occasionally the accordion, mandolin, or keys...she is threatening to take up nose flute if someone doesn't stop her...
Wonderland's songs have been featured on NBC's Homicide, Fox's Time of Your Life, & Houston NORML even made a video PSA set to Carolyn's Annie's Scarlet Letter. She has toured with acts like Buddy Guy and Johnny Winter, sat-in with String Cheese Incident, Robert Earl Keen, and Los Lobos, and even sang the National Anthem at Sturgis Bike Week 2003 -- her 10th anniversary playing Sturgis -- before Robbie Kneivel's record-breaking jump over one hundred Harleys. Recently, she was a panelist at the University of Texas LBJ Library's Instruments of Freedom Forum with Kinky Friedman, Marcia Ball, Jerry Jeff Walker and others. She's been lucky enough to jam with mentors and friends like Bob Dylan, Eddy Shaver and Ray Benson. She's co-written songs with Cindy Cashdollar, Candye Kane, Sarah Brown and Guy Forsyth.
How lucky can one girl get? Well, with a lot of hard work, just this lucky. In her words, I still get to play most every night, so the adventure continues. Every musical interlude is a new page, another chance to jump into the Ether. Originally from Houston, a city where she has won awards in The Houston Press for everything from Best Guitarist, Vocalist, Songwriter, Blues, to Release of the Year and Musician of the Year -- virtually sweeping the awards for 5 years from the time she was a teenager. Now residing in Austin, Ms. Wonderland says, I moved to the land of free guitar lessons!
In addition to leading her band, Carolyn is also in a few other notable groups. She's the primary singer on the Jerry Lightfoot's Band of Wonder Texistentialism CD with Jerry and Vince Welnick (Grateful Dead, Tubes.) She's a founding member of the Loose Affiliation of Saints and Sinners (with Papa Mali, Eldridge Goins, Guy Forsyth, and others), with several of her songs being featured on their Sessions from the Hotel San Jose Rm. 50 CD. Carolyn is also the guitarist in the all-girl, southern rock band Sis DeVille, and a founding member of the Austin Volunteer Orchestra. When she's not playing music or driving around the country, she volunteers for the non-profit charity, Instruments for Orphans, serving on the board of directors. Frequently, you can also catch her doing Gospel Brunch at Maria's Taco X-Press with the Imperial Golden Crown Harmonizers on Sundays, raising money for local charities.
Her first love is her band, and with good reason. Years of touring are evident in both the maturity of the songs and the tightness of the grooves on 2003's Bloodless Revolution. Not one to rest on her laurels, Carolyn is back in the studio working with Ray Benson on lucky CD number 7. You can preview some of the new songs at one of the many live shows on her perpetual tour.
THE BAND OF UNUSUAL SUSPECTS
• Scott Daniels - guitar, vocals, mandolin [and see]
• Cole El Saleh - keyboards
• Eldridge Goins - drums
• Bobby Perkins - bass
The event is put on monthly by Dr. Kathleen Hudson, executive director of the Texas Heritage Music Foundation of Kerrville, Texas, and is hosted by student Prairie Flower. In addition to The Carolyn Wonderland Group, other performers on March 7th included Melissa Weatherly, Emily Lively & Greg Wall, and Sol Patch.
Check out the Texas Heritage Music Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the great variety of Texas music, and encouraging education and scholarship. In addition to the Coffeehouse Series, the foundation puts on an annual Texas Living History Day, celebrates the birthday of the Father of Country Music, Jimmie Rodgers, and provides a scholarship for a promising student musician to attend college.
Dana Cooper & Annika Fehling ~ Great Day in the Morning
Dana Cooper & Annika Fehling - Great Day in the Morning
from performance at the Cailloux Charter School, 5 March 2007
Dana and Annika have been visiting the ranch for almost a year now, visiting with the children and using their stories to write songs in support of the Children's Music Project.
A song written on a visit in September 2006, No Waterwell, has now been recorded and released on their new album Visby, Texas.
Dana also co-wrote the title song on the Children's Music Projects new CD Heart Like A Flower, due in weeks.
Dana is a legendary American songwriter, having hit the LA music scene as a 16-year-old. His critically acclaimed songs have long been considered Texas classics and he is constantly on worldwide tour showcasing his brilliant lyrics and soaring voice.
Annika fills similar shoes in her native Sweden, where she is not only a lyrical star, but a founder of the Singer/Songwriters of Sweden foundation. She has been sharing tours with Dana since they met at a songwriting seminar in Europe.
Together they have brightened our lives here at the Ranch, giving freely of their time, talents and love.

Children's Music Project
The Children's Music Project is one of several fine arts programs at the Ranch that seek to discover, encourage and accommodate the artistic talents of our children.
With a state of the art recording studio, theatre and fine arts center, the Ranch is immersed in providing kids the opportunity to expand their horizons in ways that may lead to future vocations and careers.
Typically, children at the Ranch write poetry, which is then taken by professional songwriters and musicians and recorded in an effort to spread the words of the child and the story of their lives.
The project is now working on its third CD of songs featuring such luminaries as Dana Cooper, Annika Fehling, Chris Gage, Benita Arterberry-Burns, Stephen Bruton, Monte Montgomery, Flaco Jimenez, Sara Hickman, Tommy Spurlock, and Jamie Oldaker.

The Ranch and its fine arts programs are supported largely by private donations. If you would like to contribute to the cause, you can visit our Help Us page at or mail us at P.O. Box 67, Ingram Texas 78025.
