1. great live performance and story about song's origins nt

[janx]

2. I listen to the Los Lobos version often.

LOVE it!

[mix]

3. Hey NM!

It's hot up here in Pecos.

[janx]

4. You're in Pecos?

I love Pecos! It was something like 105 in ABQ today, according to my friend's car thermometer. UGH. And the float on my swamp cooler is malfunctioning. I tried to bend it as I've done in the past, but it may be time to break down and buy and new one. :rofl:

9. hey New Mex!

LOVE Los Lobos! How's your Garden growing dear?!

(BTW I keep "Food Chain" on my desk like a talisman)

[janx]

11. Not so well now, Capn...economy.

Good to hear from you man! :hug:

13. (see my edit above)

While much of my empire locally is nothin' but a smoking crater, other opportunities keep popping up, and I'm surprised by all the activity here. I came close to taking a gig in Santa Fe but the guy was from Texas so I wa suspicious...he proved me right by refusing to commit to anything in writing after I had my attorney draw up a contract. Still out for signature, and I sent it to him notarized, even sent him a prepaid FedEx envelope to return it.

Los Tejanos son ladrones, todavia. here's a Los Lobos tune to Cheer you up:

5. Los Lobos just announced that they're canceling gigs in Arizona

David Hidalgo is one of the greatest musicians I've ever had the privilege to see in person.....a virtuoso on everything he played, and a gorgeous voice too . Been fortunate to have seen them about a half dozen times; Albq, Chicago, ( where John Doe walked onto the stage and sang Your Cheatin Heart , backed by Los Lobos and Dave Alvin, as one of the encores) and a New Year's Eve show in LA with The Blasters.


and yeah, earliest Albq has ever hit 100 degrees, and I'm supposed to go to the Isotopes game tomorrow AFTERNOON (supposed to be 102). Even Santa Fe was 99 today; you guys must've been pretty close to that.:hi: to my fellow NM DUers, mix and janx...

6. When I heard that news I posted the two versions of Will the wolf survive?.

Have fun at the Isotopes games. I went a few weeks ago, enjoyed it.

:hi:

8. Sounds like a good time to take a trip to Cloudcroft

[abq e streeter]

14. yeah, 8200 feet oughta be cool but even Santa Fe was almost 100 yesterday

just out of curiosity, I'm gonna look it up..........that can't be right (can it?); weather channel says it was 105 in Cloudcroft yesterday...but storms and in the 70's and 80's next couple of days...mix is in Ruidoso, I'll see if he's still online and check it out. Beautiful country though...I'm playing a gig at the Inn of the Mountain Gods down there in July...

16. Cloudcroft is interesting temperature wise

The normal adiabatic lapse rate is about 3 degrees F for each 1,000'. Cloudcroft is only about 3,000' higher than most of Albuquerque, so in theory it should only be about 10 degrees cooler on average. However, the actual average temps run about 20 degrees cooler and it always seems to be much more when you're there.

7. Great wind/storm coming into ABQ--

The mountains look active. I hope we get a little rain. ;-)


I'm off to Belen/Socorro early a.m....up at five.

10. Save travels...I just got into Ruidoso.

Coming down from Pecos, the storms were distracting, beautiful.

[janx]

12. Good stuff!

No rain here yet--have to get ready for a very early morning tomorrow. :hi:

15. Hi mix---is it hotter than hell even in Ruidoso?

just saw on the weather channel's site that Cloudcroft was 105 yesterday. That CAN'T be right, can it? ( although Santa Fe was 99, bet it was damn hot even in Pecos.) Do you go to Ruidoso often? I'm playing at the Inn of the Mountain Gods in July...I'll probably do a post about it in the lounge and the NM forum before it. We're supposed to have a special guest with us too but don't want to jinx it by saying anything too soon.
