Great outreach concert. Students were fantastic. Very expressive.
Even Julie forgot that she is a president of the concert association.
Later that day we went for lunch to the hillbillie's town. The road was full of surprises. Wild burros ( or donkeys). They were left there in the mountains in 1930-40 when they closed the mines. Now they are wild and often create a big traffic but everyone respects them. You are not supposed to be in a hurry in a hillbilly town anyway.
I had to take action and try to clear the road but ... instead i was just spreading them all over the road. They couldn't care less about my efforts.
I decided to take another approach. To befriend a little burrito.
But it took a pro donkey whisperer to achieve the goal.
The town was friendly
classy
and safe.
The walls of the restaurant were covered with real dollar bills.
Dollars were everywhere.
The family of musicians were entertaining for tips only.
Sometimes their little daughter would come out for a dance. Soon she will sing blues too.
We had our buffalo burger and headed back. I needed to rest before the concert but we were stopped again. "Your license and registration or ... maybe a carrot"
Is it the end of the month?
Somebody is not in the good mood.
The concert association in Bullhead gave me very VIP treatment. Including the parking.
The audience was great. I very was hyper and had fun with them.
Next day i had a fly out to California to play a concert and then to come back to Arizona for another one. Good bye Laughlin! I had a really good stay!
I still can't forget those musicians and the little dancing girl.
Please bring the little burrito home......so cute we want one to keep Guido and Cesar company!
