re: #71 WindUpBird

I was sorta lucky in that I was in high school when my city was a national music phenomenon, so it really made an impression on me when before I was just being peppered with dumb hair metal (which I am still dorky and sentimental for, but which i know is often heavily controlled by music executives and producers) , I saw these bands in Seattle whose relatives worked at local music stores I shopped at, all becoming famous, everything getting so big so fast, and then I just thought “how much other good music is in my town?”

probably a lot…when I moved to ABQ from the midwest, I gave up a lot of convenience of following national acts and driving to the East coast for parties and music….and until my leg fell off, I just flew to wherever and took it from there….now I’m down for repairs, but one day I’ll be in a town near you, rockin the scene again
