The Muse of The Mustang Mountains

 August 11, 2025

   Had a tequila based encounter yesterday with a notorious Arizona troubadour.

Two Zonies Telling Stories at El Encanto

That, my friends is the legendary leader of Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers

   Of course Roger and I got to talking about him growing up on a ranch down Sonoita way, and I told him about visiting the set of "Tombstone" back in the day and I showed him the photo I took of Jeff Morey and Kevin Jarre near Sonoita and on set and Roger said, "You see those two peaks back there?

"That's on my dad's ranch" he told me. So, this morning he sent me this photo.

   And those are the Mustang Mountains behind him which are visible in the movie set photo I took 35 years ago. Small world, yes?

   We talked about maybe doing a project together and so he sent me three new songs and while I can't share them yet, suffice to say, I smiled and played desk drums all the way through a rockin' little dittie called "Like Lightnin'." Stay tuned. It's gonna get loud in here.
