Red Mountain Pass was open on Saturday. The road is sketchy on the north side; big drop offs with no guard rails. But the sun was out and much of the road, the parts out from the morning shadows, was covered with snow melt instead of ice. I got to Purgatory in time for the setting up of Twelve Cents’ first show. Tom had flown in from Miami the night before, had done a show at Keystone, and then driven seven hours over Wolf Creek Pass. The band had arrived a few hours before set up.
Their show was great….they remain “tight” in spite of having no practice time. I’d done a bit of cross country skiing before their show, so it was good to relax with a beer, a burger and listen to the beat.
