Some personal history in poem and song. The photos are mine…well, I dug them out of the archives. That’s the very beginning of the Dusty Chaps in 1969. left to right Bill Lackey, Petey Mesquitey, Woody Janda, George Hawke.
It took a visiting niece to get Petey back out into the Sonoran desert and remind him that the desert is beautiful.
The villain in this show is the grass Enneapogon cenchroides or soft feather pappus grass. There are many invasive exotic grasses that have changed...
Petey finds a seep in the dry stream be of the Ol’ Guajolote and there are deer tracks in the soft mud.
