As if we needed an excuse to head back to our house in Cholla! January Jam, the last weekend of January, is a major Cholla music event not to be missed. We skied in Telluride the previous weekend in snowy weather then the sun Gods returned for January Jam. Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers return to their home port of Cholla to pump some excitement into our sleepy little community. This year, on Friday night, we were given an extra treat with Roger performing acoustically with the help from friends at Wrecked at the Reef, our 2nd watering hole on the beach near Cholla. We saw Roger solo in Telluride but the production, guest musicians and Mexico spirit created an awesome evening of music. We hope this will be an annual event.<\/p>\n

Not all the HOOD was there but we did have the critical mass for a fun weekend. <\/p>\n

Liane made it back to Cholla from Victoria Ca. What was your excuse for not being there??<\/p>\n

We\u2019re happy to report that Brian is doing great in his recovery and was able to enjoy a fun weekend. In fact, he was a special guest Friday night with front row seats. Yea!!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday night\u2019s show not starting until 9:30 gave us time to hit our usual pork taco stand before heading to the show.<\/p>\n

January Jam<\/font><\/p>\n

January Jam is held at JJ\u2019s Cantina on the patio stage. Music starts in the afternoon and the crowd continues to build until the Peacemakers take the stage just after sunset. I added a RockyPoint360.com link written about the concert to add a local view of the night. They estimate a crowd of 1000 in JJ\u2019s and on the beach below.<\/p>\n

From our local internet Rockypoint360 \u2026\u2026 Following the opening tunes of Jason Boots, the up-close-and-personal January Jam, shared with about 1,000 other people filling the multi-level spots of JJ\u2019s Cantina along with groups gathered on the stony beach out front huddled around bonfires, began with \u201cMexico\u201d from the band\u2019s The Refreshments days \u2026or as better understood \u201c\u2026here comes another song about Mexicooooo\u2026 I just can\u2019t help myself\u2026.\u201d  Donning straw cowboy hats, sombreros, and serapes, while toting cervezas as well as tequila, the RCPM faithful picked up easily when suddenly Roger\u2019s \u201cmic\u201d took a siesta early on in the show. Roger and the band kept the contagious guitar strumming rock going while the sound was being fixed and the crowd obliged by filling the air with RCPM\u2019s lyrics. \u2026Read more  http:\/\/rockypoint360.com\/rcpm-january-jam\/<\/a><\/p>\n

After the weekend things quickly became a work session with new upper cabinets being built and installed. Our 50 year old Tappan stove got painted black and a new counter addition to the island with a new wine cooler installed. We\u2019re now ready for Rex & Phyllis\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n

Our good deed each day<\/p>\n

While in Cholla we\u2019ve taken on a daily chore to help a local care for his horse. Red loves the oat\/meal mix feed I\u2019m hand feeding along with mustard weeds and alfalfa. We\u2019re trying to help fatten him up. We hope he can find a better home and doing what we can to help.. If any of our Cholla friends want to help that would be great. Hay has gotten very expense for locals resulting in his condition. We\u2019ve been buying bales at $19 each. He\u2019s located near sand hill along with Patrick’s pen with 3 donkeys and 15 pigs. They all love carrots we bring. <\/p>\n

Sandy Beach Marina plans have been funded and should start soon. Here\u2019s the master plan which shows the breakwater for the marina area which is the first phase and should start soon (that\u2019s a Mexican soon). Cholla will become a island when the inter marina and canal home sites are completed. All of this will help the area, especially Cholla.<\/p>\n

Very cool<\/p>\n
