Seco Pearl

The other interesting people we found in Taos were at the Seco Pearl; a non-profit artist commune and coffee house that hosts underground bands.  They have a big garden out back and a hostel next door, called the Snow Mansion.  We stopped by one night while they were shutting down and they invited us back the next night to do an impromptu music show, which we totally took them up on.

We showed up to find two Seco Pearl residents playing violin with a guest who was on his way from California to Istambul.  The guitar guy had a song book of Eastern European Gypsy music and they were rocking out.  Eventually they started jamming with the boys and it kinda made my day.  We recorded some of the music and hopefully I can put a couple clips up online....
