Carrizozo Music / No Scum Allowed Saloon / July 2, 2016

Paul Pino and the Tone Daddies played at the No Scum Allowed bar in White Oaks. The bar is a great old west saloon in New Mexico's Billy the Kid country. This old mining ghost town once boasted a population of 4000.

White Oaks is about 12 miles from Carrizozo. These pictures were taken en route.

The saloon has an outdoor stage with lovely views of the surrounding Lincoln National mountains.

It's a tradition to follow the band here and listen to them play -- and to dance under the cool summer night sky.

I connected to wifi on the premises and skyped dad and mum. What a hoot it must have been for them to get a taste of the festivities of the evening. You'd be hard pressed to find anything in common between Hosur and White Oaks.

We left before the sewer backed up and sent everyone running except for Greg the bass guitarist who lost his sense of smell decades ago. All in all it was a great evening.
