I am on my way to Las Cruses Mew Mexico today for the week.(last full week of March)
If there are any PSG pickers playing in the area please leave me a post so I will have a place to go to hear some good steel.

Tom, look out for the space aliens and UFO's. There are everywhere out there. I don't think they play steel, but have fun.

I played a club there once, can't remember the name of the place, but the police paddy wagon parked right in front of the club everynight. A "duck and cover" gig if there ever was one! LOL

I was born and reared in Las Cruces. "Tu sabe Espanol?" Played the old Corral back in the late 60's

. Haven't been back in at least 25 years. These gigs were as Mac Davis said in one of his songs, "orchestrated fights" Just don't kill the steel player.

BTW, it is now illegal to tie your horse to the parking meters in town.
