2007 West 1
- Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado

- - - on the road . . .
Once you get
across the Texas panhandle the rest is easy.
Just over the horizon from here is Des Moines, New Mexico, the home of my friends Tim Keller and Christina Boyce
Tim
is a great songwriter, teacher, and gardener
He was the first songwriter to
teach me one of his songs over 18 years ago
the first to play a houseconcert at my home.
Now
it's 16 years and 200+ concerts later
Tim
is also a great cook
with
a great video library
This
is the amazing Christina, artist and then some
She
needed a ride to work (it was almost two blocks)
This
is Baca Valley Telephone, where Cristina works
This
is Cristina's new art gallery across the street. It will open next spring
Downtown
Des Moines, New Mexico
Capulin
Volcanic Mountain is just a few miles away
I
find things here more interesting than those in Des Moines, Iowa
Playing
a song for Tim is like giving a book report to the author
See
what I mean about Tim's cooking?
All
too soon it's time to head north into Colorado
The
Royal Gorge Bridge near Canon City, Colorado
I'm
just outside Nederland, Colorado, looking for the home of my friend Darryl
Purpose
I
found it
and
it's a wonderful place
If
you haven't heard Darryl's music, you really should. http://www.darrylpurpose.com
This is the telescope Darryl bought from me and the hot tub that felt great after a cold wet ride
Darryl's
living room is at 8500 ft, 300 ft. above the nice village of Nederland.
It
was hard to say goodbye to Darryl. (I
was also waiting for the sleet to stop)
The
Aspens were just beginning to turn
