“We’re Loyal To You Bowie High”
El Paso, Texas – In 1978, the Bowie High Alumni Association had the school song, “We’re Loyal To
You, Bowie High” recorded by the international music star Ray Camacho and his “La Banda
Internacional de Ray Camacho.”
Now, the Bowie High Alumni Association has a new CD of the original English and Spanish versions
of “We’re Loyal To You Bowie High” as they appeared on the A & B sides of a 45 rpm record. The CD
also contains a newly created Extended Bilingual Remix which utilizes the original Spanish and English
versions in a newly remixed and longer version of the legendary song.
The original recording was produced through the efforts of Bowie High School alumnus Rosa Rangel.
The current project, a collaboration including the Bowie High School Alumni Association Inc., Ray
Camacho and All That Music & Video, is a labor of love and pride. A limited number of copies of
“We’re Loyal To You Bowie High” will be made available to the public. Proceeds from the sale will
provide scholarships and financial aid to deserving Bowie High School students and graduates.
The story of Bowie High School is unlike that of any other school in the United States. Many universities
have alumni groups outside of their home cities, but how many high schools can boast of having booster
clubs like those of Bowie High? Former students living in California are able to attend their own alumni
events because there is a large Bowie High Alumni Association in Los Angeles!Wherever Bowie alumni
may be, they remain loyal to their roots and proud of having attended “La Bowie.” As they say in
reference to the school’s mascot the Bowie Bear, “Once a bear always a bear.”
A.L. Carlton, the first principal of Bowie High School wrote the lyrics to “We’re Loyal To You, Bowie
High” and set them to the tune of “Illinois Loyalty March.” Carlton wanted to promote pride in the school
and self-confidence in the students, most of whom were from Spanish-speaking families of Mexican
descent. Bowie High School was founded in 1927 to educate these students because segregation did
not allow them to attend the city’s other high schools.
The release date for the CD of “We’re Loyal To You, Bowie High” is Thursday, October 6, 2011. The
new CD cover features artwork in the school colors of blue and white, and the graphics on the actual CD
are reminiscent of an old black vinyl 45 rpm record. The CD will sell for $9.99 at All That Music & Video “Collector’s Marketplace” and may also be purchased from any Bowie High School Alumni Association member. George Reynoso produced the new recordings for the in-house All That Music & Video label.

El Paso, Texas – All That Music & Video (ATMV), El Paso’s largest and most popular independently-owned music retailer has updated its brand name and logo. This update reflects the latest changes in the marketplace and the evolution of the store’s identity in response to those changes, according to owner George Reynoso. Founded in 1980 as Nostalgia Records and renamed Nostalgia Records & Tapes in 1985, the original names of the store represented how music was bought and sold at that time. By the time a major name change and distinctive colorful new logo introduced All That Music in 1994, almost all music sales were in the CD format.
The next stage in the evolution of the store was a significant expansion of inventory to include new and used movies on DVD. As video became a greater part of sales, it was added to the brand and logo in 2007 and All That Music & Video became the new identity. Most recently, ATMV was remodeled and the vinyl LP section greatly expanded to accommodate a resurgence of interest in LPs among both younger and older consumers. At the same time, ATMV began to focus more directly on the store’s importance as the go-to-store to find new, used and collectible vinyl LPs, CDs, and DVDs. Just as vinyl LPs gave way to more advanced technologies, CDs and DVDs will soon be replaced and become more “collectible.” Therefore, “Collector’s Marketplace” has been added to the All That Music & Video brand and re-designed logo in order to reflect the role that the store will play in the marketplace of the future.
All That Music & Video – “Collector’s Marketplace” is much more than just a store selling products that are available elsewhere. It is a unique place to buy or sell the highest quality new, used and collectible vinyl LPs, CDs and DVDs, and find the latest pop culture posters and novelty items.

Esteban Velasquez’s newest release “Ladron De Amores” is now available at All That Music & Video for $11.99
Today, Rudy is proud to unveil a brand new collection of straight ahead Tejano tunes titled Canciones Del Corazón (Songs from the Heart). The album is his love letter to a genre which took him on a magical ride among the stars and fed his thirst for music throughout the better part of his early adulthood.
With Sunny and the Sunliners, Rudy Palacios discovered both the joy and pain on a fast-track life in pursuit of the next gig and musical success. Though he wouldn’t have guessed it at the time, that race would also result in musical immortality. As one of the Sunliners, Rudy headlined shows at the Hollywood Palladium, shared a bill with Chuck Berry and toured with Archie Bell & the Drells as a favor for a Houston radio promoter hoping to get his nephew Bell in front of nationwide audiences before calling it quits. During a year that also marked the end of an era, Palacios packed it up to pick up where he’d left off a decade before as a starry-eyed youngster.
Along the way, Rudy made enough of impression on the Original soul group The Platters to earn him a position with the group. In hindsight Palacios, was like a walking museum of musical legend and lore, a man who carried his red hollow-body ES 335 Gibson guitar humbly among giants and then came home to build a family to live the American Dream. Through the years Rudy played the local club circuit, corporate engagements and cultural events to keep his craft defined to the music trends and sharpened his skills at penning new well-versed songs.
Canciones Del Corazón, while climbing the chart rapidly, is one of the most versatile releases on the Tejano music landscape recognized for its smooth dance, modern arrangements and textured rhythm styles. It’s not easy moving from a Cha-Cha-Cha to a traditional Bolero, then segue to a Cumbia and slowing it down with an Oldie. Featuring one English-language track, the 1965 Mel Carter hit “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, in a version that will tingle baby-boomer’s spine, along with nine heavy-weight Tejano destined to be classics like, “Algun Dia, Te Regalo El Corazón, Que Bueno Es El Amor.” Canciones Del Corazón delivers a full body, fresh flavor for Tejano music lovers. Palacios’ version partnered up with Tejano Glory Days vocalist Jimmy Edward, on the signature Little Joe song “Las Nubes” which restores the Chicano national anthem to its rightful place as a call to action and an expression of pride for all Mexican-American citizens. If for those tracks alone, the album is worth the price of admission. Between tracks and history, Rudy Palacios offers a lifetime of talent and the eternal soul of a true Tejano troubadour.

We searched harder and dug-up heavier tracks for this second volume of the Bay Area Funk series. Once again the musical spectrum spans from raw funk to gritty soul. The Bay Area was, and still is, a melting pot of cultures and sounds. The funk scene in San Francisco and surrounding areas reflects that eclectic vibe as artists incorporated rock, Latin, and blues influences into their work.
