Local Forecast / Thomas Cain

« on: April 11, 2015, 11:03:55 AM »

I'm not sure if we all knew this or not, but for anyone interested I have found Thomas Cain's "Winter" available for download from Amazon for just 99 cents:

It is song #5 on the album. This song was used in 1999. It should sound very familiar.

Weatherscan Discussion / Jack Mascari

« on: November 14, 2013, 06:25:34 PM »

As you guys know, Jack Mascari is the composer behind some of the non-Trammell WeatherScan songs. I e-mailed him about a month ago to ask some questions, and woke up to a response from him on Tuesday morning. He told me that he is the composer of all of the non-Trammell songs on WxScan. He also told me that he has a CD coming out, as well as a website that will be opening soon. He didn't give exact dates on when either of those would happen, but I asked him to give me the details when he had them.

Just thought you guys might be interested in those little tidbits.

Local Forecast / Christopher "C.F." Jones

« on: October 20, 2013, 10:33:32 PM »

So, while we wait for some clarification on Jeff Stern's music, I thought I'd share with you all some good news that pertains to C.F. Jones. You guys might recall that I mentioned that C.F., Jeff Stern, Dave Morgan, Steven Saltzman, and Richard Tyznik all had a common publisher amongst them. Well, I've found something else they seem to have in common. Richard, Jeff, Dave, and Steven are all located in California. So, my theory is that if I want to find C.F. I should start by looking for musicians named Christopher Jones in California. And as luck would have it, I've found several. So I'm going to contact them and see if I can get lucky again and nail him down. I'll keep you all posted on anything I find out.

Local Forecast / Jeff Stern

« on: October 03, 2013, 08:39:47 PM »

I don't want to prematurely excite anybody, but I thnk I have finally found another elusive TWC artist, Jeff Stern. Jeff had two songs on TWC in the late 90's, Forward Motion, and Morning Steps. Neither song has ever been located, and they may be amongst Matt's unknown songs. Anywho, I found him on Linkedin:

I've sent him a message, so we'll see what happens. Just to be clear, I'm not at all sure this is the right Jeff Stern, but it looks to be at least a strong possibility. And of course a response is not at all guaranteed, as we know.

Local Forecast / Timothy Bright/Dover

« on: September 30, 2013, 08:15:49 PM »

I have finally tracked down the website of Timothy Bright, whom if you recall we believe is the artist behind the song Morning Awakes by Dover. His site is here: http://www.60cyclemusic.com/. There is no information specifically about anything TWC related, but there is an e-mail address, so I've sent him an e-mail. I'll let you all know what I find out if I hear back from him!

Local Forecast / Terry Coleman

« on: September 27, 2013, 10:03:48 PM »

I have some big news for you guys! I found Terry Coleman on ReverbNation the other day when I posted Scott Emmerman's page. His page can be found here: http://www.reverbnation.com/socolemusic. His song Cool Breeze is there, as are a few Physical Therapy songs, but none of his other TWC music is. I've been in touch with him, and he says he's going to send me a link to where his other music can be purchased. That was Wednesday and I haven't heard anything yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you all know!

Local Forecast / Scott Emmerman

« on: September 25, 2013, 09:30:18 AM »

I have found both of Scott Emmerman's TWC songs, Sky Blues and Top of Mind, in the following website: http://m.reverbnation.com/artist/3507826/songs. Both are full length, and free of charge.

Local Forecast / Don Grusin

« on: September 23, 2013, 04:38:07 PM »

For anyone interested, Don's music can be purchased digitally through his website, http://music.dongrusin.com/. His music has generally been pretty easy to find on Amazon, but for those who prefer instant gratification (like myself lol) this is a pretty cool find since for whatever reason it doesn't seem his music can be downloaded through Amazon or iTunes. Further, you can listen to all of his songs in their entirety for free if you prefer not to buy them.

Local Forecast / RIP Tom Borton

« on: September 15, 2013, 11:01:08 PM »

Just thought I'd share this for those who'd like to know, apparently Tom Borton is dead. I happened to stumble on this info while trying to find his two TWC songs (which happen to be two of my favorite TWC songs) Wherever You Are and Looking for a Way. He seems to have died rather recently, less than 2 years ago. 

IF memory serves me right, we're starting to have a little list of TWC musicians who have died, aren't we? I seem to remember several threads like these in the past. 

The obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?n=Thomas-Borton&pid=152847914#fbLoggedOut

Local Forecast / Tommy Nehls

« on: September 14, 2013, 01:41:46 PM »

Hey guys, I have some more good news to pass along. I'm not sure if you all were aware, but Tommy Nehls has a website, tommynehls.com. Both of his TWC songs are available, though they are not amongst the samples on the site. Simply contact him using the contact form on the site. He will send you a CD with "Right Now" and "Rain Jam" for $12. He said they're actually on separate albums, but would burn the songs to a CD to save me money.

Local Forecast / Steven Saltzman

« on: September 13, 2013, 11:14:08 PM »

As with the last post I made, let me start by saying I hope this hasn't been covered already, though I've searched and didn't find anything. That said, for anyone interested, I've found Steven Saltzman's "Colors" in its entirety. It is available for free on his site, http://www.saltzmanmusic.com/composing/music-samples/. The list of songs is long, but if you scroll about halfway down or so you'll see Colors. Even though I haven't seen this info here, I DID see it on the emulator board, but thought it might reach more eyes if posted here.

Weatherscan Discussion / Weatherscan problems?

« on: July 26, 2009, 10:59:54 PM »

Anyone else having WeatherScan problems today? All day today the entire left side of the screen has been black except for the mini radar and a CC icon just above it. Is it just my STAR, or is this a problem affecting everyone's WxScan?
