Here’s the whole interview with Christine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArM7VcMUj8s

Ah, so she is talking about musicians.

I had to wiki up Taos to see why it was referred to as a one horse town. I always had the impression it was larger (I guess because it’s nationally known) and chock full of ‘artistic types’. Now I know better.

tx for the link CS,

Music is soullll, when we are privileged to express it. Art becomes from what we want to express with passion, some make it and some don’t…

what is important in this video is that we can only be wise(r) and happy(er) when we play together (LIVE).

Thank you. And BTW, as a singer, I feel Christine’s pain, and if it weren’t for ccmixter, I would be very, very lost.

Gracias!

Heh. The only thing scarier than jazz is jazz done badly. :) Thanks!

working on it … baby steps. :) Thank you! You played jazz in Algodones — Raphael’s by chance?

I recall the Algodones location served food and there was no stage. Don’t recall the name after 40 years.
I was living in Placitas at the time; Algodones would be considered a local gig LOL

Wrt Raphael’s Silver Cloud, yes, I played there once but not in a jazz band. I had forgotten about Raphael’s. I am reading where Raphael’s closed in 2005.

During the time that I lived in New Mexico, recall playing most often at Kelly’s Other Side in Albuquerque and recall playing a week long gig at a place in Gallup with a band house in the back. Thought the Gallup place was called the Red Lantern but the Red Lantern is coming up on Google is in Sante Fe.

Our primary home base was El Paso in the 1970s (in and out of college daze) with brief stints in New Mexico, California and Florida. From El Paso, we played often in Las Cruces, Ruidoso and Alamogordo.


After decades and thousands of gigs, hard to remember all the people and places especially from those early daze.

I just uploaded a new Christine pell … but be careful. It’s inflamatory :) http://ccmixter.org/files/r...

Ya think? ‘:0)

Thank you so much! I hope Christine decides to let me (and us!) collaborate some more. It will have to be a slow conversion.
