Just thought that as a musician you might find it interesting to know something about the actual place that Brown was writing about. Was that "overnight success" band in Tucson? The bass player in the main blues band that I used to play with at the Dingo had lived and played in Tucson for several years ..in the 80's ( I think). Tall guy , who's also an excellent artist, named Jeff . Also , were the Rocket 88's a Tucson based band too? A friend from here used to play guitar with them. I haven't been to Tucson for many years. Last ( and actually only, outside of jamming with local PHX bands) time I played Phoenix was a couple of years ago at a bar convention at a fancy resort hotel in Scottsdale...
