Cuttin' A Rug In Old Town Payson

 August 10, 2025

   Do you want to know what desperation is? I drove up to Rim Country where it's eight degrees cooler than Cave Creek. Yes, It was 108 when I left the Triple B Ranch and when I got to Payson it was 100. That didn't stop us from having a bang up time at Macky's where they were having a pre-rodeo dance outside on the patio. The Blue Sky Band was fantastic and when a pretty girl at the next table asked me to dance, well, you can take the boy out of Kingman but you can't take the Kingman out of the boy.

   She goes by Jesse (she's a real estate agent), but her real name is Yessenia Storing. She's originally from Costa Rica and she spent time in Wickiup, so we bonded over that. Oh, and she knows Toby Orr from Kingman so that practically makes us kin!

   I'm dancin' like nobody's watchin' but I kindah think they were. Oh, and she was a charmer. I bought a house from her. Not really, but you know,

   And, of course Rooster and I sat in with the band and did two songs. Can you guess which ones?

  

"And her name is G-L-O-R. . .Ay Yi Yi Yi Yi. . ."

Gloria, by Them
