appears that a much-anticipated musical collaboration—between
Patsy and actor Robert Downey, Jr.—will not
take place, after all, due to a scheduling conflict. |

hoping they'll be able to join forces in the future. |

As
many of you might know, Patsy's last two pop recordings also received
attention in the Contemporary Christian Music market. This month,
CCM Magazine—which has faithfully (no pun intended)
covered that area of the industry for 25 years—celebrated
its milestone anniversary with a special 'Blockbuster List' issue.
Patsy was given a big "shout out" in a feature titled
"5 Christian Artists Whose Albums Rank As Some of Christian
Music's Best. (And It's Highly Possible That You Have Never
Heard of Any of Them)". Here's what the CCM editors had
to say: |
| |
| If
Christian music has ever had an artist worthy of being
compared with the legendary Joni Mitchell, Patsy Moore
is probably the one. Her first release, in 1993—called
Regarding the Human Condition—is full
of insightful lyrics, delightful folksy-pop melodies,
warm vocals, and a spiritual depth that was neither calculated
nor market-driven. If you ever find one of Patsy's out-of-print
CDs floating around, pick it up! |
|
| |
| There's
also a "1oo Albums You Need to Own" category.
Kim Hill's Talk About Life makes the list; Patsy
wrote the title track! |

MUSIC
1 2 3 is a leading online retailer of musical instruments,
accessories, software, and sheet music. It's helping to transform
the global musical instrument retail market. Launched in early
1997, it sells a full line of instruments (with the current exception
of pianos and organs) to musicians, schools and other institutions.
It carries an unparalleled selection of brands because top manufacturers
have continually recognized it as a pioneer in serving and selling
to customers on the Internet. Music123 is one of a handful
of dealers that has been given difficult to obtain online franchises
by manufacturers such as Fender, Gibson, and Yamaha. This company
was born out of Zapf's Music, the largest independent retailer
in the Philadelphia area. Zapf's was founded by Sofian
Zapf—a master violinmaker—and his father, Leonard, in
1928. They started on the ground floor of their row house! By
the 194os, Sofian and Leonard had enlarged their store and developed
a reputation for peerless service and quality in the Philadelphia
market. Then, as now, Zapf's Music bought, sold, and repaired
new and used instruments. In the 196os, Sofian's son Erik began
expanding into new locations and created a school rental program.
It has a fantastic 5 Point Value Proposition involving
price, expert advice, service, selection, and convenience. Go
to our LISTENING BOOTH and you'll
see an animated banner at the top of the page that will take you
to our new associate, Music123! |

TONOS
is an online musician's network founded by Oscar/Grammy winning
lyricist Carole Bayer Sager, Grammy winning producer/composer
David Foster, and Grammy winning singer-songwriter/producer
Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Built for musicians,
it's the ultimate online destination for creating music, collaborating
with others, showcasing your work to the industry and the world,
and having all the tools, tips and services needed to further
your career. As Tonos continues to grow a global community
of musicians (with every style and level of accomplishment), it's
dedicated to becoming the most collaborative musical network on
the Internet. (FYI: The word "tonos" is Greek, and is used to
describe the way that musical notes come together and move apart
on a scale.) Go to our DISCOGRAPHY
page and you'll see an animated banner that will take you to our
new associate, Tonos! |

Patsy began constructing a small and savvy board of advisors
who represent the many arms of the arts. These folks are
at the top of their fields and/or at the top of their games. We
have no doubt that their contributions, to the evolution of patsymooreDOTcom,
will be invaluable. |
| |
| C.
We expanded our borders. Literally. A couple of
our frequent (and extremely cool) visitors from deep in the heart
of Paris [That would be France, not Texas] have expressed a sincere
interest in making this a truly international venture. Talks are
underway for the most effective and innovative ways in which to
do so. |

| D.
The invites began going out, to our illustrator friends,
to design graphics for use on items in our online store.
There are guidelines and there are, definitely, INCENTIVES!
'Wanna try your hand at dressing up one of our tee shirts, sweatshirts,
bags, hats, mousepads, mugs, calendars, greeting cards, postcards,
lunchboxes, wall clocks, small (16x2o) posters, stickers, tile

o1.o2 :: Patsy
has joined creative forces with guitarist/songsmith Maria Hobbs.
The two will write for and produce various artists. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Hobbs—who
began playing guitar at age 15—attended LA's
renowned Musicians Institute in later years. She
has accompanied a vast array of artists including
Cree Summer, Macy Gray, Nedra
Johnson and Medusa, although the versatile
player is probably best known for her anchoring
roles in the oft-praised West Coast bands Strangefruit
and Only Child. Maria also contributed
to the soundtrack of the 1995 2oth Century Fox
film Strange Days, starring Ralph Fiennes
and Angela Bassett. |
| |
| Take a look, now,
at some of the artists with whom Patsy Moore and
Maria Hobbs are working...and whose currently
untitled projects will be featured on this site
in the near future. |

Connie
Tennison-Rouse introduced her cabaret act
to sold-out audiences at Boombala's night
club, located in her hometown—Chicago.
She went on to amass an equally impressive following
at The Windy City's Pump Room in the
historic Ambassador East Hotel. Presently
a solo performer at Birds of Paradise
in Long Beach, California, Connie is also
a member of Long Beach's South Coast Chorale.
She has sung at The Sky Room, The
Carpenter Performing Arts Center, The
Orange County Performing Arts Center, The
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and The Terrace
Theatre—all well-known Los Angeles
area venues.
|
| |
|
A
live music veteran of 15 years, Connie deftly
interprets jazz, blues, and pop standards and
claims to have been most inspired by Billie
Holiday, Etta James, Miki Howard, and Carole
King.
|
| |
| The
writing/producing team of Moore and Hobbs is delighted
to be collaborating on several tracks of spare,
organic recording with unconventional instrumentation,
calculated to spotlight Tennison-Rouse's smoky
vocal styling. |

Christopher
J. (Spinks), a native of Lorain,
Ohio, has called Los Angeles home for the past
several years. Since arriving on the West Coast,
this quadruple threat (vocalist/songwriter/pianist/trumpet
player) has performed backup vocals for a number
of artists, including Johnny Gill and
Billy Preston. As a member of the group
Traverse, he was a Star Search '95
semifinalist. That exposure opened the door
to a variety of solo ventures—among them
a monthly showcase of his exceptional talents
at Lulu's Beehive in Studio City, California.
|
| |
|
J.'s
first project focused on original jazz and Adult
Contemporary music. Presently, producers Moore
and Hobbs are creating harder edged tracks for
him—a clear nod to early '7os 'glam rock'
(à la David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust period)
to further explore the distinctive soulful voice,
heartfelt lyrics, and passionate delivery that
will certainly secure Christopher J. an entertainment
industry foothold for many years to come.
