Musicians Directory
Music is vital. It's essential. Except when you're practicing, you seldom play it in isolation. So for musicians, there are many ways to approach the big questions: what shall I play, and who shall I play it for?
Now hear this: after months spent collecting information about musicians all over Northern New Mexico, we've compiled a directory to our regional musical resources. Musicians who practice forms from serialism to death-metal are included. So are presenters, promoters, producers, and festivals. So whether you need a band for that bat mitzvah, a soundtrack for your movie, a gig, a fiddler, or just some rosin and a coat of varnish, let Pasatiempo be your guide.
This Pasa Guide to Northern New Mexico's musicians is a work-in-progress. This online version of the directory is searchable by artist, genre, or location; it includes discussion forums; and it will be updated regularly. Musicians may submit their own additions, changes, MP3s, and photos online. Questions? Send me an e-mail with "music list" in the subject line. All submissions will be reviewed promptly. Come back often to see our future enhancements--and stay...tuned.
The Pasa Guide to Northern New Mexico's musicians was compiled by Robert Benziker and Craig Smith, assisted by Robert DeWalt, Stefan Dill, Michael Koster, David Prince, and Steve Terrell.
Water is a precious and scarce commodity in Santa Fe. The city's Sangre de Cristo Water Co., 801 W. San Mateo Road, 954-7199, provides free water-conservation classes designed to reduce home water use and lower water bills. It also offers the following suggestions for further conservation:
Despite a few sojourns -- two years in France as a kid, Boston in my college days -- I have been tethered to various parts of New Mexico since birth. I remember a hot, dusty childhood in Las Cruces, scurrying for wild asparagus from the ditch behind the house, or for stringent yellow onions that fell off the train; the nascent alternative scene of early '90s Albuquerque; and the self-imposed exile to high plains cattle ranching in Union County (at the meeting point of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico).
Santa Fe is a city of museums. Exhibits change constantly, so there's always something new to view. Many people get yearly passes to museums that charge for admittance.
