This hand carving looks like an early attempt to design a motorcycle !!!

Bob's got it covered!  

I was born and raised in Flagstaff. LOTS of Native American culture there and north into "The Res" (Reservations) and Grand Canyon. I'm now in Tucson and love the culture here, too. If you come through Flagstaff, make sure to head down 89A into Sedona. One of the best scenic drives in the state. From there you can hit Cottonwood and Jerome (old mining town turned artist colony).

Avoid Phoenix unless you like big, smoggy cities that try to be Los Angeles. The ONLY exception is if you're visiting Bob.  

Look me up if/when you come through Tucson. Love to meet you in person!

My only suggestion to you would be not to sing the "La la" part out loud in mixed company.  You get my drift?


A Horse With No Name

http://www.accessbackstage.com/america/song/song005.htm


On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
