In 1987, a number of recording industry professionals set out to achieve cooperation among recording studios and other industry professionals in order to create a climate of professionalism and artistic excellence within the New Mexico music community.
The result was the New Mexico Music Industry Coalition (now the New Mexico Music Awards) This awards program recognizes excellence for recorded music from the previous calendar year for original music productions recorded and mixed primarily within the state of New Mexico.

I am of dotted silver threads that have dropped from heaven. Nature takes me, to adorn Her fields and valleys. I God's eye I am beautiful liken to pearls, plucked from the Seas of my daughter's of Dawn To embellish the gardens. I cry as the hills laugh; & I am humble myself All things are elated. & the field are where the clouds of lovers are And between them I am a messenger of light. I quench the thirst of one; I cure the ailment of the other. & I am alive Do you see me?
Your spirit moves on the water I watch as you take the shape of this heavenly being Your rising up like a river in flood All my words got made into flesh and blood The sky grew dark, as you shook the earth Just like a prophecy So I got down on my knees & and I prayed to the skies When I looked up could I trust my eyes? All the saints & angels & the stars up above Tells me

Joy Love your Music and Songs! Let me share words from the Original people of America signed and presented to the UN in Colombia august 2009
Our Thoughts and our Words are one with our life. This is why this message is so important. We say that there is only One Mother Earth. We are all children warmed and caressed by the same Father Sun, tread on the same earth, breathed the same air and bathed in the same water. We are brothers, like the fingers of one hand. We never speak about the colour of skin, underneath we are all equal, and therefore we must work together red, black, white and yellow.
The complete version is in my Latest Blog .I think you will be as touched as I am.
