Victor Villaseñor, author
by Latino Role Models Success in Business
Tags: Victor Villasenor Rain of Gold Latino author John Steinbeck Author with dyslexia
Born in the barrio of Carlsbad, California in 1940, Victor Villaseñor was raised on a ranch four miles north in Oceanside. Since his parents were born in Mexico, Villaseñor spoke only Spanish when he started school. After years of facing language and cultural barriers, heavy discrimination and a reading problem, later diagnosed as dyslexia, Victor dropped out of high school his junior year and moved to Mexico. There he discovered a wealth of Mexican art, literature, music, that helped him recapture and understand the dignity and richness of his heritage.Victor returned to the U.S. at the age of 20. He began to feel the old frustration and anger return as he once again witnessed the disregard toward poor and uneducated people and especially toward the Mexicans. Then a chance encounter with James Joyce’s Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Man, changed Victor’s life. It awakened a desire to confront through literature the problems associated with his cultural heritage that continued to plague him. After producing 9 novels, 65 short stories, and receiving 265 rejections, Villaseñor sold his first novel, Macho!, which the Los Angeles Times compared to the best of John Steinbeck. This began a journey that would eventually lead to the publication of the national bestseller Rain of Gold. Used by thousands of teachers and school systems across the nation as required reading, Rain of Gold tells the story of Victor’s family, taking the reader from war-torn Mexico during the Revolution of 1910 to the present day.

Mark Massey, Ori Naftaly, Rory Block & Marshall Lawrence
by Vinny Bond in Music
Tags: Mark Massey Ori Naftaly Rory Block Marshall Lawrence Music On The Couch
Mark "Muleman" Massey grew up in the cradle of the Delta blues, Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Living there, he heard plenty of blues. But it took a stretch in Parchman Prison for Mark to discover the blues' deeper meaning.
Since then he has been mentored by the likes of David Kimbrough and Blind Mississippi Morris and his latest release, One Step Ahead Of The Blues shows he has learned his lessons.
Mark and I will discuss his journey.
Ori Naftaly and his band won the right to come to Memphis for the 2013 IBC from their home in Israel. Even before they arrived on the shores of the US, they had used social media to build up the anticipation for their performance.
They did not disappoint and became a crowd favorite. they are now back touring the USA and Ori will call in to discuss this incredible journey he finds himself on while we chack out songs from Happy For Good.
Rory Block has been called the "greatest living acoustic blues artist" and Bonnie Raitt calls her an "inspiration".
With more than 20 releases to date and 5 Blues Music Awards, she has proven these statements again and again
Now with Avalon, her tribute to Mississippi John Hurt, Rory looks to turn the blues world upside down again. Then Marshall Lawrence returns to The Couch with his latest release, House Call, which has already reached #2 on Blues Underground Network's Canadian Blues/Blues Rock Chart.
