A completely free country lesson are given on most 2nd & 4th Fridays at the Dirty Bourbon. I've been doing it over 2 years now, and it's a LOT of fun. Don't be shy, there are a lot of other folks who are new too, so you'll have company.

Normally it is progressive 2 Step and 4 count Swing, but slightly different this time.
I will be staying til about 930 or so, and will be glad to help any ladies practice the steps.

Doors open at 6 PM. Be sure to arrive a few minutes before 6 so you can find a parking spot.

I will be at the tables on the lower right side of the dance floor as you walk in.

Choral/Orchestra performace of:
"Mozart – Mass in C Minor, K. 427
Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550
Two pillars of Mozart’s mature style: one sacred, one symphonic.
Modeled on the grandeur of Bach’s Mass in B Minor and the Salzburg ceremonial tradition, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor blends contrapuntal rigor with operatic brilliance. Though unfinished, it stands among the most exalted sacred works of the Classical era. Paired with the storm-lit urgency of the G Minor Symphony, this program reveals the expressive breadth of Mozart’s late style.
Featuring soloists Lindsay Ohse, Amanda Crider, Bernard Holcomb, and Javier Ortiz."

Join me for an afternoon of moving voices and beautiful music at our NHCC. I think it's the best acoustical house in town! Should be a treat! I'm in DD118, third off the aisle in that roomy last row. $22. There are a few seats left in that row next to me. I hope you will grab one so we can sit together.

Please read this entire posting.
Our tour starts at 130pm and will be an hour or so.

The Horse Shelter serves as a sanctuary for New Mexico’s abandoned, abused, and neglected horses. Rescued horses will be rehabilitated and adopted whenever possible to environments supporting their well-being and future long-term care.

First and foremost, we are dedicated to providing a safe, healthy environment for rescued horses. We follow up on every report we receive of horse abuse or neglect. We disseminate information on proper horse care for horse owners and attempt to assist individuals in caring for their horses.
Dogs are not allowed at The Horse Shelter and there is no smoking allowed on the property. Our restroom is a porta-potty and we recommend folks bring their own full water bottles. Our facility is outdoors with no shade and is subject to high winds and large temperature fluctuations, please bring plenty of layers. There is little to no cell service in our area and the surrounding areas including along Highway 14 for several miles in both directions from General Goodwin Road (County Road 55A).
General Goodwin Rd. and Old Cash Ranch Rd. (the final 5 miles into the ranch) are highly traveled dirt roads that are subject to washboard and rocks. The road is bumpy but passable for low-clearance vehicles if the road is dry.

When you get to the ranch, follow the sign that says "Barns and Paddocks" and drive until you see the big barn and the parking lot.

Releases are required and I will bring them for each attendee to sign.

Cancellations must be 48 hours in advance unless an emergency has occurred.

Guests will only be allowed if there are spaces still available after December 1, 2025
