A pleasanlty warm and breezy afternoon in April found me enjoying the dulcet tones of fellow Brinkster Zogtone in Borrego Springs, Ca.
A sundry crowd of Borregans chatted, danced and milled about in the open-air plaza outside of the Tumbleweed desert decor store enjoying the music while eating hot dogs--and walking them.
Zog's rendition of The Byrd's "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" among others, was sublime. Oh yeah, he's the troubadour in the Hawaiian shirt.
Connie George, Alan Tulving and a guy named 'Bob' made up a folksy trio.
The chap playing killer fiddle was none other than Haddon Salt of H. Salt Esq. Fish & Chips restaurant fame! (That's right folks, So. Cal's answer to authentic English fish & chips--YUM.)
I also had the pleasure of meeting another member of the Borrego Brain Trust (and Brinkster) desertdenizen.
A fine day and a fine way to listen to good music and take pictures--and drink margaritas! You're right Zog, it WAS more exciting... more
Gaffney, rest in peace mi amigo.
Wish I could have been there....
Dave Gonzales? That's the way I want to play but can't. One thing Kelly Willis and I agree on is the wonder of Dave Gonzales. Dan Penn..
What a great place man. I really need to get down there more often and come see it. I'm so out of touch w/ everything and everyone down there now. Damn shame.
