home :: places :: 2004-09-30-boulderUtah.html Thu, 30 Sep 2004We returned from California late last night. We got up this morning, unpacked then repacked for 4 days in the Boulder/Escalante area of Utah. I'm doing poetry at Everett Ruess Days on Saturday afternoon. On Saturday evening Flavia and I play with blue haiku. The landscape was, of course, gorgeous. We arrived around 7pm, stopping at the Burr Trail Cafe for food to go. We caught the tail-end of a poetry slam. I did a couple of poems, hoping to get a few people interested enough to come to my performance on Saturday. A fellow named David did some very interesting songs, poems and stories relating to the Escalante, Utah accent. After I did my poems Mark Austin, one of the festival sponsors introduced himself. Turns out the Cowdaddies played his wedding in Boulder a number of years back. I missed that gig - but there is a connection of sorts. He told us how he kept running into Craig and Kennard in the wilderness over the years until they finally introduced themselves and ended up playing his wedding. Mark has recently been traveling in Chile, including Flavia's birthplace: Antofagasta. We didn't hang too long because we wanted to get to our room in the Circle Cliffs Motel to hear the 1st Kerry/Bush debate. When Bush talked I tried to put myself in the frame of mind of a Bush supporter, to try to hear and understand what they find appealing. I think it is, "we are America and no one is going to tell us what to do." After the debate we walked back to the Burr Trail Cafe for tea and wine. The owner of the cafe treated us great. We talked with David some more and his soon-to-be wife, Jill. The have a brand new Siberian Husky puppy. With a raccoon face. Like me, David has long Mormon roots. Walking back to our room I practiced my poetry performance out loud. |

Red Rock Rondo performed at the rededication of the nature center at Zion National Park. (Note: after we agreed to play we learned that Laura Bush would speak. Although we disagree with her husband's policies, the fact that she is spending a week with friends hiking in Zion Park is a good thing.) 2007-03-15-21-argentina buenos aires
1996-spring-CowdaddiesAtBarrySchollsWedding Cowdaddies in Torrey, UtahWhile rummaging about old photos I came across these pictures of the Cowdaddies playing in Torrey, Utah in the Spring 1996 at Barry Scholl's wedding.
1976 Inside/Outside Inside/OutsideAnother blast from the past. Sherm Clow sent me this picture of Inside/Outside, a group I was in back around 1976, featuring Merrill Clark, leader, composition and guitar; Brenda (Gibb) Vincent, violin; Divya Prem (Dan Gaard), drums; and me on electric and acoustic bass. I think this picture was for our performance at the Hansen Planetarium.
