They are 27th in batting average (.223), 23rd in on-base percentage (.306), 29th in slugging (.335), 28th in OPS (.641), tied for 28th in home runs (25) and 28th in runs scored (114). Gonzales is eager to rejoin the lineup and do what he can to provide a spark. “Regardless of how the team is doing, I’m gonna be a little frustrated just because I can’t be in there,” he said. “The best thing for me to help the team as best I can is just to be healthy. Can’t really do anything in my position right now. Just trying to get healthy so I can help out.” Gonzales isn’t the only Pirate on the mend, either. First baseman Spencer Horwitz, who was acquired from the Cleveland Guardians in the offseason, started a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona and has since played in five games. Horwitz has been sidelined all season after undergoing right thumb/wrist surgery. Last year with the Toronto Blue Jays, Horwitz slashed .265/.357/.433 with 19 doubles, 12 home runs and 40 RBIs in 97 games. Though the two have yet to share a field together as teammates, Gonzales is familiar with Horwitz’s game. He believes their returns could make a big difference. “I think we can provide a lot. I’ve played against Spencer my whole minor-league career, so I know what he can bring. He’s a great player, so I’m excited to watch him and play with him on the same team.” As the Pirates continue to search for answers offensively, perhaps Gonzales — and Horwitz — can help provide some. They really need him hes a good hitter. And right now half that team cany hit.they need to get rid of the dead wood Reynolds is a real disappointment thus far this season. I hope he warms up with the weather. He just has that look he gets when he is slumping like he is defeated before he even steps in the batter’s box.

again After a disappointing April that left Pittsburgh Pirates fans desperate for some good news The right-handed starting pitcher, who has been sidelined for the past six weeks with a UCL sprain in his throwing elbow, was cleared for throwing activity and has already played catch at 45 feet twice, per Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette It will likely be three to four weeks before Jones begins throwing off a mound but the fact that he is throwing at all marks a significant step in his recovery His estimated timeline to return to the Majors is 12 weeks which likely means he won't slot back into the Pirates' starting rotation until after the All-Star break Pirates second baseman Nick Gonzales who has been sidelined since Opening Day with a left ankle fracture has graduated from a walking boot to an ankle brace and he will likely begin jogging by the end of the week Right-hander Johan Oviedo is continuing his rehab from a right lat strain at the Pirates' facility in Bradenton He is throwing from distances up to 90 feet without issue now 13 months removed from Tommy John surgery began a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton this week and has pitched in two games without issue Speaking of rehab assignments, first baseman Spencer Horwitz – who underwent offseason wrist surgery – began his this week with Double-A Altoona and he will likely play in a few more games before transitioning to Triple-A Indianapolis for the remainder of his assignment Finally, catcher Endy Rodriguez is continuing to recover from a right index finger laceration just above his knuckle

of dollars” and… could have happened without somebody on the inside it is the most egregious lapse in fiscal responsibility in the history of this city.” Four of the five highly placed individuals

there,” Gonzales said Easy but effective advice from their skipper “My son came and joined the league when he was 4 years old Gonzales has certainly gotten involved as he coached multiple teams in that time “We got them Nike uniforms right off the bat and New Era hats so they felt like a big leaguer,” Gonzales said and we’re continuing to improve the facilities even though they may not make it to the big leagues they still feel like they’re a big leaguer.” Gonzales’ work and coach life balance is one that does require a lot of focus and dedication to the community “I had the opportunity to work for LA City I’ve been there as a fireman for the last 17 years," Gonzales said “He gives his heart and soul every day to these kids and then he wakes up at 4 to be here in time for a 7 o’clock game He doesn’t miss a trick,” Erika Broderdorf “These kids are excelling because of him.” ABC 10News wants to recognize Gonzales for his work dedicated to protecting and building up not one ABC 10News and LEAD San Diego chose Gonzales as our Leadership Award winner for the month of May Being a member of the Los Angeles Fire Department is no small feat or assignment all of the devastating fires four months ago in the area Gonzales told ABC 10News he worked on the Palisades and Hollywood fires catching up on his sleep from the long drive or working on all of the fires,” Broderdorf said He’s here and he’s taking care of the fields and making sure they’re ready to go.” The juggling of a life-saving job and an important mentoring role of a coach may be tough and others for supporting

Thanks for joining us you did choose to come forward and endorse Kamala Harris you said Donald Trump is — quote — "the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation." "What we're seeing today is even more than I had imagined." 100 days into this second Trump presidency one of the things that's important for people to understand is that the rule of law constrains power And there are other things that constrain power And people who want to exercise powers without restrictions they want to eliminate or at least weaken those constraints it seems to me that the rule of law is under some serious stress He has his general counsel in the White House He has the attorney general who's advising him on this And even when you were in the White House under President George W you were accused of enabling an abuse of executive power for some of the legal arguments you crafted regarding the war on terror So is it just true that every White House crafts the legal arguments that it needs to move its agenda forward I think what we're seeing here is the president surrounding himself with loyalists who give maybe an extra push towards trying to do what facilitates what the president wants to have happen So their interpretation is one that perhaps you and I might — you and others that I served with might disagree with most times isn't a lawyer and certainly doesn't have the time to sit down and go through the law books And that's why he does take advice from lawyers Kennedy was very loyal to his brother John F you have lawyers in place that make a good faith attempt to interpret the law and are honest with the president saying But is that the case in this instance with this president and this team lawyers disagree about the interpretation of laws And I think what this president is trying to do is surround himself with people who he believes will be loyal to him will give him the advice that will allow him to carry out the agenda for which he campaigned on I — unless you're there in the room and you're with the lawyers and the president you're not really sure what advice is being given to the president There's also the question about whether or not the administration is in compliance with court orders from judges a Maryland man who the administration said they mistakenly deported to El Salvador We saw the president last night say that he could bring Abrego Garcia back if he wanted to Do you believe that this administration is flouting a judge's orders in this case I think one might have legitimate questions as to whether or not there was a flouting A judge did order the administration to facilitate a transfer appeared to concede that he did have the authority to simply ask for this individual to be returned which is going to raise a question in the eyes of the judge then have you asked and why haven't you asked You have been ordered to facilitate the return of this individual And so I think that might have been a sort of… he seems to be saying he's not asked and that he doesn't want to Does that mean that he's ignoring the judge's order I think what you're going to — given this new statement by the president you're probably going to see a request by the judge asking those very same questions And we will see what the administration says or does I'm often — I have been asked many times we will have a constitutional crisis when the Supreme Court of the United States commands the administration to do something pursuant to the Constitution within a certain period of time you called Donald Trump the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation Based on the norm-breaking and the rule-bending we have seen so far are you worried that you can't get it back once it's gone it takes a while to build up a cathedral like the rule of law but it can be built back up with the right kind of leadership and dedication I'm hopeful we will get it back once we have changes perhaps in leadership in Washington I think Congress has been missing in action So once we have new leadership in Washington And I'm hopeful that the institutions that exist today those norms that have not been torn down yet I hope they will continue to provide a check on the excised — the excess use of power Attorney General Alberto Gonzales joining us tonight Amna Nawaz serves as co-anchor and co-managing editor of PBS News Hour © 1996 - 2025 NewsHour Productions LLC PBS is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization Subscribe to Here's the Deal with Lisa Desjardins Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission everyone who’s anyone and teething is at Marsha P the hottest place to be if you’re a Williamsburg resident under the age of 4 As spring blooms sway in the warm breeze and East River waves lap gently at the gravelly beach a knit sweater with a shiny blue car on it a sailor hat.)

A growing, nearly living organism — constantly changing but hopefully for the better and ideally as an antidote to the increasing isolation of American parents (recently, 66 percent of those surveyed in a national study reported feeling lonely) While Gonzales isn’t quite sure what the future of the group will look like if it keeps expanding at this pace he’s certain he wants to keep connecting with others in the same boat and I hope that can impact the next generation,” he says as we exit the park while the sun starts to dip under the horizon My dad had all these friends he cared about As we round a corner near the family’s apartment Gonzales reaches a hand down to comfort him and Sol immediately grabs for his father’s fingers once Sol is out of the stroller and in his dad’s arms his head resting against Gonzales’s shoulder the fussing immediately subsides.“I have more empathy for people But seeing the world through Sols’s eyes and comforting him,” Gonzales says “you just kind of understand how everyone needs to be loved a little bit more.” By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us Password must be at least 8 characters and contain: you’ll receive occasional updates and offers from New York Restaurant Brings Approximately 110 Jobs to Community Donates $25,000 to Address Food Insecurity The Chick-fil-A PlayTM  App is your home for free games and activities designed to create more time with your favorite people Exterior shot of the Izland Jamaican Kitch'n which opened earlier this year They celebrated their grand opening at the end of April The Izland Jamaican Kitch'n's curry shrimp with rice and peas and fried ripe plantains Oxtails with rice and peas and steamed cabbage from the Izland Jamaican Kitch'n Katherine Williams-Thomas never wanted to be the mom or the dad when playing house with her friends she’s running her own Jamaican food restaurant in Gonzales After years of doing pop-ups across the state Williams-Thomas has finally found a home for her passions in the Izland Jamaican Kitch’n Williams-Thomas was born and raised in Jamaica and moved to Louisiana in 2016 Her journey getting settled in a new environment hasn’t always been easy but she’s always wanted to “love on people” through her cooking but a friend pointed out to her that she’s always wanted to be her own boss — since they were kids This conversation sparked her interest in cooking and selling food she bought a grill and just started selling food from a street corner in the city and doing pop-up events But Williams-Thomas said she was unaware of the number of rules regulations and permits that govern food vending when she started She’s run into her fair share of challenges getting her business off the ground She had put her business venture on hold and got a job at Waffle House to save up some money But it was while working at Waffle House that she met her current business partner She approached him about opening a Jamaican restaurant together and she started doing pop-ups from the bar’s kitchen to test the market “All you gotta do is sign the lease and get me into the building,” she remembered saying “I promise you won’t have to worry about anything else.” 16 in her Gonzales location while she was still working at Waffle House as she wanted to see if it would pick up traction Now that she has a sign and had an official grand opening she’s excited to continue to spread love through her food mango apple salad and fried festival (Jamaican fried bread dumplings) Email Serena Puang at serena.puang@theadvocate.com.

A nondisplaced fracture is a different type of injury than what Oneil Cruz experienced in 2023 when he fractured his left ankle Gonzales fouled multiple pitches off his ankle in a Spring Training game on March 19 at Port Charlotte but he was able to go through workouts and finish out the spring without issue Shelton mentioned postgame Thursday that the Pirates started to notice Gonzales looked a bit hobbled when fielding a popup in the bottom of the fifth but he was still in a good enough spot to swing a bat the next half-inning And it’s hard to argue with the result -- a two-run shot to left field -- but he was lifted for Adam Frazier after a slower-than-normal trot around the bases "Just watching him run around the bases just didn't like what we saw,” Shelton said after the game Thursday The Pirates were counting on Gonzales being a run producer this year after a solid 2024 campaign in which he slashed .270/.311/.398 with seven home runs and 49 RBIs over 94 games it seemed he had claimed the position as his own after a year of internal competition The injury comes at an inopportune time, as the Pirates are already down one player on the right side of their infield -- first baseman Spencer Horwitz (right wrist surgery) Endy Rodríguez started at first base the first two games of the season but he’s also going to need to take reps behind the plate to relieve Joey Bart The other options on the roster are utility infielders Jared Triolo and Adam Frazier who are also going to have to play second base Valdez adds some depth to the infield as well, though he has barely played first base (72 1/3 career Minor League innings, including 23 last season). He has primarily played second and third base, and was acquired this offseason from the Red Sox to add some depth to the infield Valdez slashed .214/.270/.363 with six home runs and 28 RBIs over 223 plate appearances in the Majors and he had a .776 OPS in 50 games at Triple-A Worcester While Valdez's Major League stats were lacking last season, his peripherals were encouraging. According to Baseball Savant he registered better-than-average clips for average exit velocity (89.4 mph) hard-hit percentage (41.8%) and whiff rate (22.1%) left-handed ability to hit,” Shelton said Friday on what’s appealing about Valdez “We knew he could hit when we acquired him The fact that he can play all over the diamond is something that we kinda value.” Valdez wasn’t the Pirates’ only option at second base. Nick Yorke, the team’s No. 5 prospect according to MLB Pipeline was one of the team’s final cuts this Spring Training and while his Grapefruit League stats weren’t great (.206 batting average he hit the ball hard (a team-best 95.4 mph average exit velocity) Yorke also took some reps at first base this spring the Pirates didn’t seem to want to deviate from the plan they have in place for him just yet Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball we wanted to get him on the ground and get his feet moving a little bit,” Shelton said Our “love you to the moon and back” neighbor and care giver to our daddy;

In a Pitchfork review of SML's Small Medium Large album “There were no rules at Enfield Tennis Academy (ETA) The tiny Los Angeles cocktail bar… became a destination for the new jazz scene’s westward migration from Chicago to L.A.; a weekly improv session led by Tortoise and Isotope 217 guitarist Jeff Parker was the highlight of the schedule ETA officially shut down at the end of 2023 closing another chapter in the history of West Coast jazz It will take a long time to uncover the full extent of ETA’s influence on the L.A several other albums recorded at ETA have been released to similar music press acclaim and the word has gotten out about the much missed venue What's lesser known is that all of the recordings done at ETA were done by one person: Engineer and gear designer/builder We worked together for five years at my former studio after a 23 year run.) Bryce and I recently sat down for a chat about his role in the ETA recordings In a Pitchfork review of SML's Small Medium Large album What's lesser known is that all of the recordings done at ETA were done by one person: Engineer and gear designer/builder All the ETA recordings were done live to 2-track tape "I've got to record these folks here." We had Jay Bellerose and I started getting annoyed that I wasn't recording it because it sounded so good I almost worked with Jay in the studio a few times Did having Bryce tracking at ETA affect the shows for you He was there from almost the very beginning just recording us and not even to really document anything Just as an exercise for something that he was interested in I have recordings of us from him that go way back; like random quartets at ETA He played me some where I wouldn't be super happy with the way that my guitar was captured and then we talked and he would move things around until he got it dialed in He was live mixing the band to the 2-track tape machine in the way that Tom Dowd and engineers way back used to record jazz in the '50s It went from a way to keep ourselves busy and learning through this process to things becoming a lot more refined in terms of the band Our band was finding an improvisational identity through a lot of trial and error and an organic natural processes of discovery – creating these relationships and community Did having Bryce there to document these sessions have an influence from playing standards to doing more improvisational performances Nobody came into this thing with any commercial ambitions It was more about dealing with the art of improvising and recording the word got out and more musicians wanted to play there A real community developed around what was happening at the place and the music started to become viewed as an important piece of what was happening in the creative music community in Los Angeles That's when it seemed like Bryce was really documenting things recording almost every group that played there Cats like Terrace Martin and some really high profile musicians How did that feel for you as an artist to be in the middle of that It was really Michael Ehlers from Eremite Records heard the band when we were freely improvising you guys really got a thing.” Ehlers is an improvised music aficionado; from the Grateful Dead to William Parker He felt like what we were doing was something special “Who’s this cat over here in the corner with this tape machine?” That's when he decided that he wanted to put out a record It was captured so beautifully and well put together We spent some time curating the recordings – we sifted through hours and hours and hours of material until we settled on those four pieces that were on Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy It's nice to see Bryce doing this and what you all did there I've known a lot of engineers and a lot of brilliant cats I can't think of anybody who is more brilliant than that dude That's straight up – I've never met anybody like him jeffparkersounds. com How did you get started recording at the club I bought a stereo Nagra IV-S [tape recorder] from a guy in Chicago as we'd had computers in the studios for years so I used an old Ampex MX-10 [four by two stereo mixer] at first The engineering work I had been doing had become less fun Learning engineering at The Hangar was a no pressure situation – creative and fun I'm going to do the strings like this." It got really boring and I missed not knowing how recordings would work out when I could experiment in a low-pressure situation That hadn't happened in a long time in L.A What gear did you use for recording these shows and used that with a BG1 for bus compression “I’ll put a microphone in front of the drums and see what happens.” But the mics were all sonically connected in a live setting I could only hear so much on headphones because it's loud I'd do a recording and listen back to try to pick out what was happening Maybe the upright bass mic would be where all the bleed was "Try something once and listen later." Everything about it was so different from any studio experience; zero control and just four knobs Sometimes I’d find that I needed more bass ”Why does this sound so shitty on one side?” The mic was picking everybody up I learned which mics sounded better for different instruments but it's not a problem when I'm listening back I started listening to all these old Rudy Van Gelder records and I'd hear all the crazy flaws and big moves on volume control that I never noticed before and I started to love it and embrace how chaotic it was and Gregory Uhlmann all have pedals and stuff and all of a sudden Josh would be so loud but his fader was all the way down because it's all packed together and everybody.. People are fretting about half dB difference in mixes when there's a six dB jump on something here and I'll realize something is panned in the wrong place [ laughter ] But I love that part of it and get his perspective on the shows and the recordings done there There's a very specific throughline between my days in the indie rock scene and how we would eventually approach a jazz program at our restaurant and I always noticed that everybody in L.A had their “main” band and then a side project it felt increasingly harder to get people to come out yet they always seemed more intrigued by one-time-only side project shows Jeff [Parker] approached the Monday residency in the same fashion – at the time he had The New Breed which had albums out on International Anthem But he also wanted to do something different and pull together other artists he’d worked with – that's how we ended up having the ETA IVtet and Anna at the time were busy as session musicians during a majority of the year Anna Butterss would be busy touring with Andrew Bird but then would come “home” to the residency at ETA so knowing that it wasn’t a high-paying show we wanted to make it extremely creatively satisfying Musicians would reach out all the time saying Can I bring my band there?” and that wasn't of interest to me By the time it really got rolling with Bryce recording the whole point was that it became an ethos of artist development rather than just a “venue.” We would often hang out on Monday nights which were always usually Jeff as a resident but the other nights when the IVtet weren’t there we’d get new people in to record their experimentation – always via two sets and fully improvised because I wanted to talk to people about their music and challenge them to bring something new into the space The focus on being “just a bar” would help reinforce this A handful of musicians who are all friends would be having a drink at the bar “When are all of you going to get together and finally play?” Sure enough three weeks later they would be doing an improvised night together Everyone was working their ass off post-COVID so going free for two sets was a welcome release from the rehearsed acts they had been touring and they'd have this awesome analog recording of this new concept to take back "What do we have today?" It would challenge everybody to improvise on the fly based on what the different artists wanted to bring in and Gregory Uhlmann started this whole contingent of ambient-focused solo/duo/trio sets They would set up all these pedals across the floor and everyone would sit down They had four or five different amps that they would use for different things It would be Bryce's challenge to home in on how he could capture all this in an organic setting and live mix it The idea was to give people a place to stretch in a safe environment knowing that it would be archived in a way that's not totally devoid of soul Not just throwing up a Zoom recorder or a sterile Pro Tools setup Bryce's mix actually resembles someone listening to it because he is trying to pick out what their dialogue is all while it's happening in real time This is especially the case with artists that may not have had a chance to play together before A lot of the shows and recordings then became the genesis point for full albums that they might record elsewhere is to keep the community going and keep that same ethos of experimentation over it just being a jazz show It's letting the artists build a community together and interact because that's still more important than just having one space instagram. com/etahlp At what point did you abandon the Ampex MX-10 and build your own mixer That means somebody was singing out of tune and someone played too many notes and I can't capture the good time or the party Jeff set the pace there for improvisational playing where musicians are really communicating but live recordings can be all over the place What worked about the ETA sessions is that they were fully improvisational You can feel people communicating together Sometimes it's not working; sometimes it sounds like the bass player and drummer don't like each other [ laughter ] A whole session might be useless Another part of my reasoning was that there's so much cool music going on if I could provide a cool document of it – a mirror – that would be neat You can pull your phone out and capture what you play Does someone enjoy listening back to an iPhone that was sitting on a music stand These recordings with the Nagra and the bus compressor they were fun to record and listen to Jeff was abandoning doing standards and the full improvisational sets started happening "It's 42 minutes," and he moved to these improvisational sets and I probably would not have done that if there wasn't inspiring music to record You were all feeding off of each other: Jeff changed what he was doing because of the recordings and you responded to that and upped the gear and make my role be forgotten about during the performance." How much of that is having the audience there I would set up in the back of ETA in the bar I think a lot of people forgot I was there Jeff set the tone for the improvisational thing but it worked well as a living room with people right next to each other and that's what translates on the recordings I got addicted to that clarity from live to 2-track I was inspired by people like Roy DuNann of Contemporary Records and why do a lot of newer recordings not have that now I never would have made the jump to understanding that it was from doing it in a little club I might have thought maybe it's from a microphone I had to go through all the motions of figuring out that the upright mic can't be a condenser It grew from the constraints of live recording which I'm sure people like Rudy Van Gelder and others struggled with back then My recordings started to remind me of those recordings There are not a lot of audience sounds on Jeff's Mondays.. I can't use this type of mic placement." Because I wanted to minimize the audience noise I quickly started using hypercardioid mics as close as they could be Then it started to sound like old live to 2-track recordings But even in the front of the room where the music was Everybody was focused on what was going on You don't want someone's random conversation and yelling Let's zoom in on the mics and the mixer a little bit How many channels do you have on the new mixer The channels have switches with three different impedances If I have a tube mic in front of a guitar amp and sometimes I have a box with step-up transformers – basically passive DIs in reverse – that dumps into the mix bus as well Say I use the [AKG] C 12s on the bottom of a Hammond B3 I'll use a step-up transformer dumped into the bus That's a Roy DuNann thing – skip the preamp My next mixer will have a switch to take the preamp out of the circuit so I can turn it more into a passive mixer I don't need a preamp – I can just have an input transformer that goes into the bus so if I take the headphones off the music in the room is much louder and it's uncomfortable if they get too loud I'll pick out a part where the bass plays solo I'll transfer through a pair of Avedis [E12G] graphic EQs I'll push it down on the side that it’s panned to I'll bump up 1 kHz or such and it's better so I can do a lot with those EQs later to pound it into shape so in the headphones there's no way I can hear any low end I also have a sidecar with four extra mic pres and two extra line inputs that I sometimes use But the problem then is that I'll have a more complex mix That main mixer with one mic per person works well If I put a DI'd keyboard and a guitar amp off on one side and it's going to sound too dry on the other side I have to build the mix with microphones and build the image of the mix Going back to your standard four-channel setup what are your mics that you've landed on now for a four-piece band Mainly I use a lot of the beyerdynamic M 160s and Sennheiser [MD] 441 hypercardioids I'll stick that right over the kick drum and pan that to one side I also might use an [AKG] C 12VR because the low end’s a lot better but it has to be the right kind of drummer and the right placement or it gets a little crazy on the bottom end but I like the better clarity of the better mics The beyerdynamic M 160s and 441s are real workhorses because they're so directional; I can cut out bar noise and that helps If I have the drum set panned to one side and upright bass panned to the other but the upright's eight inches from the ride cymbal the beyerdynamic is a ribbon mic so the cymbal sounds nice I can crank the gain up on that to get all the bass I want because when they go to the ride it's on the other side it would probably compete with that bass mic Sometimes I'll add another one for people like Jay I'll stick another beyerdynamic M 160 back there How many recordings do you think you did at ETA Back in the Sacramento days, the recording process was pretty fast and straightforward. Later, working with Jonathan Wilson [ Tape Op #96 ] I was recording these crazy sessions with people like James Gadson and we’d transfer the tape and work off the computer By the time it got into later – Father John Misty or Jonathan Wilson solo records – it started to become all computer but it started to become a lack of decision-making and a real lack of any effort on my part as the engineer I could even pull out my phone and look at it all I'm doing is keeping the levels from overloading on the computer?" Like I said so if it got too intensive it was hard for me I can't listen to ten phrases of a vocal and figure out which one is perfectly in tune "Can we fix that vocal?" and I'd be thinking I can't hear what they're hearing." It was frustrating as an engineer because I hated that aspect of digging into the computer all day but after a day of vocal comping I'd think it sounded worse If somebody else is happy with their performance "The one that you're not happy with is the one we should use." It felt more disconnected and that's why the live to 2-track recording is so connected There was too much focus on manipulation in the computer In those earlier sessions with Jonathan Wilson Sometimes it'd be two hours or a day to mix but then Jonathan and I got into building songs with the two of us He's such a talented producer and musician Whole passes on tracks without punching in But when it got into the modern Pro Tools days doing guitar takes could take all day on one song The live to 2-track started out as a curiosity but now it all makes sense and that's what works with me All this computer manipulation was not enjoyable I personally think it makes it less enjoyable listening to records I can buy pancakes of eco pack in a cardboard box for cheap The 7-inch plastic reels I can get for free I'll dump the old tape off to those and load new tape How often do you have to align the Nagra It's not like aligning other machines; it's annoying to do It doesn't have the easy parameters that an Otari or Studer has but I've tweaked it to how I want it to act The machine is so perfect for what it does For field recordings and location recordings ETA's Ryan Julio began curating sessions with players There were some that were not something to be released but every one of them was fun and inspiring to listen to it got super interesting with synth players I did one that was [guitarists] Nick Reinhart and Josh Klinghoffer; just a duo Or two drum sets: We had Abe Rounds and Mark Guiliana It's the coolest recording; two drummers just going at it That did start to happen and that was good There was no intention of even putting anything out Getting paid occasionally changed my perspective a bit "Let's record this with the intention of putting it out." At that point people could hear what the records sounded like This was mainly because of that first Jeff Parker record I'm very focused on people hearing these recordings because it's so easy to do these recordings in the sense of time Now I can be a little bit more selective on what I do so we'll talk about that before and discuss the idea of putting a record out if somebody said they don't want to put anything out then I might not be that interested what do you want to do with it?" I want people to hear these recordings Since these interviews were done in November of 2024 Bryce is continuing to do live to 2-track recordings and Ryan is still booking shows at various venues in

need Though Axel Logan Gonzales was only with us for a brief moment his impact on our lives will last a lifetime Congressman Tony Gonzales represents Texas’s Twenty-Third District which stretches from western San Antonio all the way to the outskirts of El Paso but Gonzales says his upbringing gave him the education he needed to represent this unwieldy stretch of land: He spent his first years in central San Antonio and his middle school years living with his grandparents in Camp Wood a town of five hundred or so two hours west of the city.  state legislators redrew the Twenty-Third’s boundaries didn’t use this opportunity to move to the right he has emerged as one of the most independent—one of the only independent—voices in Congress breaking with his party on a number of high-profile votes.  Texas Monthly: You represent about 800,000 Texans spread out over the Hill Country What’s more difficult: representing so many different Texans or being a dad to six kids?  Tony Gonzales: Difficult is representing all those people TG: My oldest is 24—she’s about to commission into the Air Force and we’ve got four boys in the middle TM: You joined the Navy when you were pretty young.  My grandparents were very influential to me I’d already been living on my own—I’d lived on my own since I was sixteen—but it was very difficult for me and so I’m a few months from graduating high school TM: What were you looking for in the military TG: My father was in the Army; my grandfather was in the Army A lot of people in my family were in the Army I knew as a kid that I was going to serve—and I was going to serve in the Army “You should go to the Navy recruiter.” I didn’t even know how to swim doing cryptology—which is a pretty amazing skill set.  TM: You were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq TG: I did two years of training in cryptology before I got to my duty station Basically any type of communication: cellular communication TM: You rose up to master chief petty officer You’ve said that makes you the highest-ranked enlisted member in Congress.  TG: The highest ranking enlisted member to ever serve in Congress E1 is the lowest rank and E9 is the highest rank A lot of that was because if there was a tough job I’d be the first one to volunteer for it Less than one percent of the enlisted force becomes an E9 I always say Congress is a pretty tough place and everyone tries to bend you and break you You don’t want to be on the other end of a master chief—they’re just mean What perspective does that give you in Congress you get stuck with talking points—you know that actually impacts somebody’s life and there’s a time for policy.  On the front end of my life, I was able to actually be there on the ground. But that [experience] goes away if you don’t stay sharp. Just in the last week, I was in Juárez. No one goes to Juárez Everyone’s so afraid it’s a dangerous city I was in Germany with the sergeant major of the Army out in the field and I’m out there with soldiers that are actually doing the work TM: We’re in very different lines of work but I feel I’m most useful when I’m on the ground seeing what’s happening.  TG: Yeah—’cause no one can tell you what you saw If you’re relying on somebody else to tell you what it’s like TM: You represent a huge district that includes people in rural and urban areas What do they have in common—characteristics you’re able to use as a bridge?  TG: These are people who want a better life for themselves and then Reeves County and Loving County and Pecos and so you got a lot of families that know what it’s like to work hard Maybe they’ve done well for themselves but they’ve worked hard for it.  Did you ever feel like members were just using these trips as photo ops?  we’ve hosted twenty-five [congressional delegations] And this is what I told my team: Even if their goal is to come down for a photo op they’re going to get more than they bargained for You mentioned [Specialist Bishop E.] Evans who passed away—that’s a prime example we made it a point that you’re not just going to get a picture of the wall and get back on a plane We flew [members of Congress] into San Antonio and they drove all the way to Eagle Pass—a three-hour drive We had them visit with local law enforcement and ranchers and business owners I wouldn’t be so upset about these [undocumented immigrants] coming through my property if they would stay and help me pick my crops.” They were exposed to everything that my district has: legal immigration they walked away with more than they bargained for.  TM: That’s a good opportunity to talk about your support for the bipartisan HIRE Act, which would make it easier for people to get temporary work visas Texas is experiencing severe labor shortages Why do you think it’s important to expand our visa system right now TG: I have worked very hard to separate illegal and legal immigration and not just in construction and agriculture Part of my trip to Juárez was to the consulate there where they [issued more than 270,000 visas in 2023] alone—it’s unbelievable It’s well staffed and well organized and they’re walking me through how they find fraud—it’s very stringent It’s not like they’re just handing out candy So I think that’s part of the story: If somebody wants to come here legally and go to work TM: You recently said that when it comes to ICE raids and mass deportation it’s really impor­tant for ICE to prioritize criminals not “the guy that’s picking tomatoes.” What should happen with the guy picking tomatoes the people who came here illegally but don’t have a criminal record but that would take us down this route where there’s no return—today’s politics can’t even handle us all agreeing to deport a convicted murderer “It’s not enough to just deport him I want everybody who’s here illegally deported—the guy that picking tomatoes they’re all just here for a better life.” So I’ve tried to just say “Can we focus on [the convicted criminals] first And table what happens to those other people because that’s a pretty thick onion that we would open up there.”  Essentially all my energy is focused on getting these convicted criminal aliens out of our country—which That’s going to require a lot of resources When you were explaining your support for the bill you talked about some of the hard personal experiences you had with guns coming up.  and she and I had to escape an abusive environment—honestly you’ll find this in San Antonio as well the alcohol and the domestic violence abuse You can’t unsee some of these things And I think it’s important for me as a lawmaker to view it through the lens of “How do I protect the Constitution and how do I also protect innocent people?” And I believe you can do both You don’t have to erode the Constitution and you don’t have to leave people on their own to fend for themselves like it’s the Wild West That bill was an early test for me on navigating that.  you had a battle in your primary—you barely won the runoff Today you’re one of the only independent voices left in Congress Why are you at odds with members of your own party TG: I’ve never been a person that’s just in the middle of the pack I told my team that if we’re not going to stand up for the things that are important for us Are you going to get it right all the time Yes—but I work very hard to look at it through the lens of “not me.” A lot of politicians have this flowchart where the first question is “Is this going to help me get reelected?” instead of “Is this the right thing for our country or my district?” I just don’t view the world that way.  And if you’re gonna [break with your party] and I’ve had to raise astronomical amounts of resources That last race—that wasn’t even my toughest race I don’t go around poking people in the chest I’ll be meeting with the Speaker of the House here in a couple hours and when it comes to things that are important TM: You recently cowrote a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson asking him to cut spending and deliver on Trump’s agenda but without slashing programs like Medicaid and SNAP he and I are having the Medicaid discussion today TM: I’ll let you go prepare for that talk with the Speaker This interview has been edited for clarity and length This article will appear in the April 2025 issue of Texas Monthly with the headline “Don’t Go Poking Tony Gonzales in the Chest.” Subscribe today.  It
