Mason translates out of Sappho's archaic Greek poetry into twentieth-century American folk music, often with an Appalachian Mountain flavor. He tends to translate the long fragments of complete stanzas, which tell detailed, if incomplete, stories. He tells that mysteriously, ancient lyrics and old-time music turned out to be a good fit.
Teaneck-born playwright Joe DiPietro has come a long way from his early success with 1994's "Over the River and Through the Woods," being revived at the Bickford Theatre at the Morris Museum. But this fledgling comedy about lovably cantankerous old folks may be worth a backward glance - especially during the holidays, when audiences are preparing their own trips to grandmother's house. TELL ME MORE: DiPietro, who grew up in Oradell, had his breakout hit in 1996 with "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" and has gone on to write for shows like the hit "Memphis" (book and lyrics), "All Shook Up" (book) and "The Toxic Avenger" (book and lyrics). He clearly knew how to give his audience a good time from the very beginning, judging from this lark about a young New Yorker (Michael Bernardi...
THE MUSICAL approach of isn't particularly unusual. But if you're looking for some good-time, no-nonsense rock 'n' roll with easily digestible lyrics ("just outside of New York City, where's the music's rockin' and the girls are pretty"), the Drops'll be as smooth to swallow as the strong drink they praise.

Billy Goodwin, singer and guitarist for NewSong, remembers what it was like when his band started in the genre. When we started, back in 1981, it was not easy to sing music [that] style-wise churches werent used to doing, he said. We had an uphill battle, and for years, there were churches against anything that had a beat to it. NewSong hosts and performs Friday night at the Civic Center during Winter Jam 2012, a contemporary Christian music show that features half a dozen musical...

I market it so good, they can't wait to try me. I work it so good, man these With Tricky Stewart, The Dream and Mark Pitts joining her at the production helm, Ciara snaps out lyrics about giving out her number, spending time with her boo, turning down a worthless man and dancing nonstop. Everything is driven by the synthesized vibe that has overtaken R&B music. "Gimmie Dat" is the standout dance track with a beat crafted to blow through speakers. "Heavy Rotation" is a bit more playful as she plans some alone time with her man.
Courtesy photo "Power To The People" is one of a number of new releases compiling the work of John Lennon, who would have turned 70 last Saturday. John Lennon thrives, at least when it comes to the industry surrounding him. The former Beatle was shot dead in 1980, at 40. Saturday would have been his 70th birthday. Apart from the television specials, books, new monuments and Nowhere Boy movie, theres a huge amount of music on offer remastered CDs and newly released songs. Power to the People: the Hits comes as a single- disc introduction or a deluxe edition with a DVD of all its songs. The compilation is similar to Lennon Legend from 1997, with five fewer tracks. Just about all Lennon collections have Give Peace a Chance, Instant Karma! and (if you must) Happy Xmas (War is Over). Rating...

Ryan Bingham calls himself a rock 'n' roller, Terry Allen is an artist who works in many forms and genres (not just musical ones), and Joe Ely has collaborated with The Clash, Bruce Springsteen, and The Clancy Brothers. But they all have Texas roots and Texas music in their blood, and they share a stage in Santa Fe for a program of Songs and Stories at the Lensic Performing Arts Center on Sunday, Jan. 16. What is Texas music? "Willie Nelson is the best representative I know," Bingham said. "But writers like to try to put music into genres. I don't." Bingham is the 29-year-old frontman of The Dead Horses. He co-wrote the song "The Weary Kind" for last year's movie Crazy Heart (which starred Jeff Bridges and was shot in New Mexico), at the invitation of T-Bone Burnett, who was coordinatin...
I would hesitate to tell people what he was doing, because I didn't feel that good about it myself," Elam once told the Boston Globe. "I used to say, 'He's in music,' but I would never specify rap. When he said that this is what he wanted to do, I was very unhappy, to be totally honest. Why would he want to waste his time doing this rap thing? I just couldn't see it. I have to admit that I was wrong. I made an improper judgment at that time. But I've come a long way. Judge Elam did the best he could. He and his wife tried. They sent Keith to the prestigious Noble & Greenough School but that didn't work as planned. "Keith wasn't like his older brother who was an ideal student, class president and graduated with honors," Elam said. "Keith wanted to be his own person." "Rap is way mo...
