One of the first people I met when I moved to Jerome from Sedona more than 25 years ago was a local character named Kim Talbot. Kim first discovered Jerome way back in the 1960's and basically fell in love with the little ghost town and the mountain it is perched on.
Kim and I have been neighbors in Deception Gulch for many years. Besides saying that he has been and remains a very good friend... it is difficult to "pigeon-hole" him in any one category! (And why would I want o anyhow?). You could ask the legion of friends that Kim has gathered over the years to describe him and I would bet you would have as many varied descriptions as he has friends. He's just that unique a character. Suffice it to say that Kim is the only "Redneck Hippie" I've ever met! (And that is meant in the highest form of a compliment I can imagine).
So what is this blog entry about, you ask? Well, I'll tell you... for as long as I've known Kim, he has been making and gifting his home-made salsa. He eats it every day and attributes his robust health to that habit. After years of experimenting and perfecting his recipes, he has finally decided to go into business by sharing his wonderful concoction with the rest of the world in the form of "Salsa de Border".
We just put a web site for the new company and you can view it here:
http://www.salsadeborderonline.com/
Kim and his lovely Lady, Caroline, invite you to drop by for a visit and, if you're in the neighborhood, swing by their store at 9 South 10th Street in Clarkdale, Arizona (just down the hill from Jerome).
If you enjoy good authentic salsa, you will be glad you did.
Kim makes it in 3 flavors...
There's the Mild flavor of El Salsa Sissy and the medium flavor of El Mucho Macho.
But because Some Like It Hot... there is Kim's favorite... El Burno Gringo!
That's it for today, folks.

[NOTE: Salsa de Border is no more! My long time friend, Kim Talbot, left this earthly plane.}

The "Other Gulch"...
Here in Jerome we have two Gulches. Well, there is only one gulch but there are two roads referred to as gulches. "Gulch Road" (referred to by locals as "The Upper Gulch") isn't really in a gulch! Now, then... "Deception Lane" (formally called "Deception Gulch Road" and referred to by locals as "The Lower Gulch") actually is in a gulch... "Deception Gulch"! This can be quite important if you live here. If you don't live here... well, then... you probably don't care but it does make for some interesting trivia and now that you do know this, you can almost pretend to be a local when you come to visit. Although, I don't suggest you try it. With a population of less that 500... we pretty much know who is and who isn't!
Anyhow... neither of the previously named gulches are what I'm writing about. The gulch that I am writing about is "Gulch Radio"! It is an online radio station streaming from our little mountain ghost town. You can listen to it here: http://www.gulchradio.com/ and I would bet good money you will enjoy it!
That's about it! I like the station and the two freaks that run it are mostly out of their minds for doing so because they make no money whatsoever and spend way too much time, energy and money keeping it going. But... they're good friends of mine and we appreciate their particular brand of insanity. It goes well with who we are and what we do up here.
That would be the News from Deception Gulch today!

The Benefit for Omar Fray...
The Benefit for Omar Fray...
Monday, February 23, 2009
The benefit is for, my son, Omar due to the strange the trip he has recently been on!
Omar is a native Arizonan and spent his "formative" years in our unique little community of Jerome. Everybody here knows Omar and he is a genuinely good human being!
The bottom line - Omar is dealing with leukemia and we're throwing a benefit in April to help him and his Lady, Sashea.
The benefit is scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2009 at Paul & Jerry's Saloon in beautiful Uptown Jerome, Arizona. The party begins a 2:00 PM and goes until it is over (later that evening)! We expect a great crowd because that is just the kind of town Jerome is... it always supports its own!
We have artists and friends donating wonderful items for raffles and silent auctions. We have a few local musicians providing wonderful entertainment (Jerome is also known for this) and we are hoping for more (HINT, HINT)! We've even created a little web site to keep folks up-to-date on all that is going on. You may check it out here: http://chefomar.theravenworks.net/
So... if you are looking for some good times, would like to help a fine young man and his Lady and are in the area... come on by.
I'll be writing more about this and some of the other interesting aspects to this great little community.
Until then...
