I wrote this song based on a hike with Ed Davenport in the hills above Tucson, AZ.  After an hour treking through the rocks and thorns, we came upon a cave.  In it were ancient petroglyphs.  Marc Rennard plays bass; Chip Curry, vocal, guitar, banjo.

The Chase

Having lived in Arizona for many years, I have known the legend of the Lost Dutchman gold mine.  It occurred to me that refreshing love can be a similar quest. Marc Rennard plays bass and fiddle.

One Bright Night

Marc Rennard and I recorded this in Joe Weed's Highland Studios in December, 2017.  Another recording can be found on Marc's CD, Earthenware, available on iTunes, Spotify, etc.  Marc say "This unusual version comes from Arizona pioneer fiddler K.C. Kartchner’s home recordings of 1943. K.C.’s second part is so weird and scratchy I took the liberty of interpreting what he might have meant."

Paddy on the Turnpike

Recorded around 1980 at Sweets Mill. Tommy Rozum, Jay Waelder, Agi Ban
