Borderstone:

My memories of the college in Tempe are from the 60s. The Rumblers played often there. Always a great crowd of then-kids.

It was only an 8hr or so drive in our Greenbiar Van w/ 6 guys, 1 dad, & a little brother - plus all our gear.

But it was worth it, 'cause in Arizona you could by condoms in the gas station bathrooms. Nix in CA. I'm sure I've still got mine . . .

The whole Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tempe area had some great music back then. Still does, ever since John Stewart ruled the roost after The Phoenix Concert live album. Stands up their well today.

I've heard some names of musicians in that area from friends in Scottsdale, but am drawing a blank right now. I'll ask them and see if there folks you know - or might like to.

The Local Unsung Songwriter is just as important to the glacier and sometimes wildfire of music progress.

Any "unmined local gems" come to mind?

Adios,

The Rez
