Rockabilly

Chucobilly at the Desert Crossing

by Rich Wright

Like Al Gore invented the internet, I invented rockabilly in El Paso. Or maybe it was me and some other guys, like the Fernandez brothers, and the Hemperly's, and maybe Troy Calhoun. Maybe rockabilly in El Paso was like calculus, developed by Leibniz and Newton at the same time separately.

On Monday, Cinco de Mayo, I went to a rockabilly show at the Desert Crossing.

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday popularized by beer companies the way florists pushed Secretary's Day. They don't even celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico. It comes at a good time for a holiday, in the long doldrums between St. Patty's and Memorial Day. Like I need an excuse to party.
