Exclusive interview with Tawny Heath

Tawny Heath, on the left.
Tawny Heath is indeed an intriguing, beautiful, and multi talented woman with a sweet personality! However, behind those curtains lies a normal girl that loves to play guitar, the football, her pets, spending time with her family, and cooking! She is an actress, a model, a singer, you name it; she has done it all to be who she is today. She has performed in many cities throughout Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Massachussetts, Virginia, Connecticut, and also in many areas of Southern California. Her first television appearance was in The Power Rangers and she was also featured in the international magazine Supermodels Unlimited.




1. When did you begin singing and what do you think has made you who you are today? 
I started singing very young when I had a big interest in musical theatre.  I love anything to do with singing, dancing, and acting.  I just loved the arts growing up and I still do.  I think it is something you are born with when you love it as much as I do. I recorded my first demo and started writing my own songs when I was 18.

2.Tell us a little about Heath Street. When was it founded? 
I started writing and recording my own music when I was 18, but I grew up in a "music family"  My mom constantly had music on and introduced me to so many artist from when she was younger and I just absorbed it all and so did my brothers. My younger brother Sean plays many instruments and was the drum major in high school his senior year. When I wanted to learn to play the guitar he was definitely my go to guy.  We had so much fun working together and I always knew any music question I had I could ask him and he would know.  We started doing covers together and we are like best friends so we decided to work together on some songs.  We have an absolute blast and I feel really lucky that we get to work together so much.

 

3. What was your role when you appeared in the tv show "The Power Rangers"?
 I was pretty young when I filmed The Power Rangers.  I think just 8 years old, but I remember being really excited.  When I look back on it now, its just really funny and cute.  I remember everyone at my elementary school was so excited and we all watched it together when it aired. lol
4. How do you prepare before each singing performance?
 I always thought that I would like a lot of energy and a lot of excitement and a lot of people around me having fun before I performed, but from past experience I realized that when I have had my best shows is when I got to sit in absolute silence, everything very calm, and just take a lot of quiet time to my self and be in peace. (I always figured if it was too quiet and peaceful Id get sleepy and have no energy) but it's actually the exact opposite. 

5. What was it like modeling For JLO by Jennifer Lopez and UR-Fragance by Usher? 
A LOT of fun.  I love modeling!! and I got enough free UR Fragrance to practically  last me a life time!! lol  (I gave it away to friends and to my younger brother)
6. What are you currently working on right now?  Things have been a little more quiet for me on the music side of things, but thats because I have been focusing a lot on modeling.  I have some really cool photoshoots coming up that I am excited to tell people about.  No matter what I am working on I really enjoy it, and that is always what matters most.  As long as you are happy and doing what you love then you can have no complaints! :-)  Everyone be sure to check out my Twitter at www.twitter.com/tawnyheath  my blog at  www.tawnyheath.blogspot.com  and my myspace at www.myspace.com/heathstreet!

Manolo García en el Teatro Metropólitan


Por Valentina Domínguez
Poco antes de las 8 de la noche, el telón del Teatro Metropolitan subió para descubrir a la banda que acompaña a Manolo García: batería, teclado, guitarra acústica, guitarra eléctrica, bajo y percusiones. El público, enfundado en chamarras, bufandas y guantes, comenzó a aplaudir cuando apareció Manolo, dando inicio al concierto con “Provincia de río negro”.

Los “manoleros mexicanos”, eufóricos por su presencia, le gritaban: “te extrañamos”, “ya no nos dejes”, “México te ama”, “eres dios” y, cómo no, también: “¡cásate conmigo!” . Manolo, sonriente y emocionado, hizo una señal para que le encendieran las luces del público y trataba de mirar a todos y cada uno de los presentes, en especie de ceremonia de reconciliación, de reencuentro amoroso.

Se confesó feliz y agradecido de volver a México, pues aunque visitó nuestra ciudad hace 3 años, lo hizo en un concierto tan íntimo que muchos de sus fans se quedaron sin verlo. Esta vez hubo quienes viajaron desde distintos puntos de la República Mexicana e incluso de países vecinos. Antiguos fans de El Último

Manolo García cantó a los oficios, al amor y al vaso medio lleno


Hay poesía cada vez que alguien halla refugio en una canción.

Periódico La Jornada
Martes 9 de noviembre de 2010, p. 9

"Hay poesía en el acto digno de Villa de rechazar un cargo político hace 100 años"; en Frida y sus ganas de vivir; en "la acogida a los niños de Morelia", lanzó el músico catalán Manolo García, durante su entusiasta presentación en el teatro Metropólitan, este domingo.

"Hay poesía", repitió, antes de bajar del escenario y caminar entre las filas de butacas. Llegó hasta la mitad del teatro, con personal de seguridad tras de él. Entre abrazos, siguió su recorrido.

De vuelta en el escenario, interpretó Rosa de Alejandría.

Exclusive interview with Chip Carter

Chip Carter, on the right.
Chip Carter, of Tampa Bay FOX 13, is not just  the channel's sports director, he's much more beyond that. He has been part of the most sensational sports events in the past two decades ever since he joined the channel in 1988. Chip is a graduate of The University of New Hampshire and he won an Emmy Award for a racing television special.  Surrounded by great sports players, cameras, and fans, Chip Carter takes his job seriously! However, his love for it is so broad that, to him, it's not really a job; it's actually gathering up with friends to talk sports!




1. How did you come to be the sports director for FOX 13?
 I was working in Knoxville and was hired to come down here, whats funny is that on my first year wedding anniversary, my wife and I came to Tampa and I told her then that this would be a nice place to work.
2. How was it like when you won your first Emmy Award? Can you share with us that fascinating story?
The cool thing about winning an Emmy is that your work does not compete against others in the state, the work has to compete against a high standard and if it doesn't meet that standard -- you don't win.  Television is a total team effort to make everything look good takes a lot of communication; the first Emmy I won was for a half hour racing special that a lot of people were involved with so that was really cool to see it all come together.



3. How is your schedule like each time  you are covering the Super Bowl?   
Great schedule -- unbelievable to be there, I think I have covered something like 12 or 13 Super Bowls...long hours though, because we are covering it for every portion of our 8 hours of news a day so that means, morning, noon and night...its not unusual to work 90 to 100 hours during Super Bowl Week.
4. What was one of your most memorable moments out of all the NFL seasons that you have covered?
Has to be the Bucs Super Bowl, to be in San Diego covering the team with Jon Gruden as the coach was a lot of fun -- !
5. What are some of your favorite Tampa Bay Rays baseball players?
I don't really have a favorite player, we spend a lot of time with all of them....its just a really good group of guys to deal with.....they are really personable, know that we have a job to do and just make it fun to do it.  Having Joe Maddon as the manager, I think sets a really good tone and that makes it a lot easier I think.  We are actually really lucky with the coaches we have here in all of the sports USF with Skip Holtz and Guy Boucher with the Lightning and Raheem Morris with the Bucs, they are all very dynamic, good to deal with -- have great personalities...and know how to work with the media.



6. You're evidently a very professional and highly respected sports anchor. How is the dynamic between you and your fans everytime you see them during sports events?
Covering high school football we get a great conversation going with viewers that come up to say hello...I LOVE that -- that is why I am in this job really to share the sports experience with people...if I could invite the entire market into the studio with me, I would -- thats what I feel like I am doing when I am standing in the studio is just telling friends what happened at the game, relating a story and giving them the compelling parts of it.  I don't take anything for granted in this job, you have to work hard to be good at it and you have to work hard to maintain your reputation -- viewers don't have to watch Fox, I know that they have choices so our staff -- we have the largest sports staff in the market, works very hard to make sure that we are their choice when it comes to sports news on anything in Tampa Bay.  Its not a job really, it just doesn't feel like a job....its more of a chance to sit down with friends over a pizza and talk sports....thats what I hope we are creating.  So when viewers come up to say hello or say that they watch us all the time....I always make sure to give them a huge thank you because it really is appreciated.

7. Are you and your family still active in the Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid Florida Program? Can you share with us your experience with it? 
We have 3 golden retrievers at home....Fletcher is the one we adopted, when we got him he weighed 55 lbs and wasn't housebroken -- didn't really know how to behave in a house.  We think he might have been chained because he just paced in a circle around the family room. The Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid Florida starts the process of finding these goldens new homes and I know the work the foster homes put into the effort is a key part of that process -- the foster home is the first home the golden has and they use that time to figure out his personality, take care of any medical issues etc...just a key part of the process.....and then when we adopted him...I really think he just feels as if he finally has his permanent home.  We use to do a lot more volunteering in terms of personal effort and time with the group -- but as we continue to live here, we branched out to hook up with the Tampa Humane Society -- (Cathy Bellatin) does a great job with them...as well as other organizations.....I try and push as much as possible the work  GRRMF does....in terms of the yearly calendar and their needed donations.....using the contacts that I have to keep the mission of that group upper most in people's minds, same thing with the Tampa Humane Society as well.

Presenta Manolo García CD “De mares y visiones” en exitoso concierto


Declarado no como español, sino como mexicano, el cantante Manolo García ofreció un animado concierto en el Teatro Metropólitan, donde presentó su disco, De mares y visiones y cantó algunas rancheras acompañado de mariachi.

El ex integrante del grupo El Último de la Fila, se mostró sencillo en el escenario y derrochó energía, no sólo con sus temas, sino también en sus bailes, que le valieron la ovación del público.

Las primeras canciones que ofreció fueron: Provincia de río negro, Sobre el oscuro abismo en que te meces, Carbón y ramas secas y Una tarde de sol, que poco a poco prendieron los ánimos de casi tres mil personas que acudieron al lugar.

No crean que no había querido venir por falta de interés, la verdad es que México es un país que me encanta, pero no había tiempo para hacer el concierto, hoy todos somos mexicanos, dijo el artista.

Luego cantó: Con los hombres azules y al pasar al tema Para que no se duerman mis sentidos, García bajó del escenario y recorrió gran parte del Metropólitan, por lo que algunos fans lo abrazaron y lo llenaron de muestras de cariño.

Prosiguió con Rosa de Alejandría y explicó: En este mundo los oficios se están perdiendo porque ya todo es más global, pero esperemos que al menos se queden más hijos, para después interpretar Zapatero.

La escenografía lució un estilo urbano, con micrófonos en tonos fosforescentes y páginas de periódicos en las plataformas de los músicos, además de que colgaron unas lámparas azules, así como unos pedazos de mayas y alambre.

También hubo un bailarín y tuvo como invitado a Arturo López Vela, músico de la cantante Natalia Lafourcade, quien no pudo acompañar a García porque se encuentra en el extranjero.

Como quien da un refresco, Sólo un poco, Saldremos a la lluvia, Sabrás que andar es un sencillo vaivén, No estés triste, Pájaros de barro, Lápiz y tinta y Levedad fueron las canciones que siguieron en la velada.

Hay poesía, esa es la buena noticia, hay poesía con ustedes aquí presentes, hay poesía, con Frida Kahlo, con Francisco Villa, hay poesía, indicó el español.

El concierto continuó con Somos levedad y Viernes, con la cual su banda y él se despidieron. Pero ante la insistencia del público, Manolo García regresó para cantar Vendrán días, A lo lejos el río, Sólo amar, Insurrección, San Fernando y Como un burro.

Acto seguido, dirigiéndose al público de manera respetuosa, pidió permiso para cantar dos canciones rancheras, Cuando quiera has de volver y Luz de Luna, lo cual hizo acompañado de un mariachi, al tiempo que portó un sombrero charro.

Sin embargo, nuevamente los presentes no se conformaron con eso y le pidieron una última canción a Manolo García, quien los complació gustosos con Malva.

El español ha estado dentro de la escena musical por más de 30 años. Ha destacado su trabajo en agrupaciones como El Último de la Fila, Los Burros, Los Rápidos y cuenta con ocho producciones en solitario, las cuales han alcanzado Discos de Oro y Platino.
