I always wanted to know where such an exotic excitingly named place as TUCUMCARI was . . . . .

THE AMERICAN DREAM

And I guess I knew it was on Route 66 but I had rose tinted spectacles when first hearing about the music and places of the USA. I still had them when first visiting places like San Francisco and finally New York that came as a revelation and were truly great . . . no need to make it great again Lil Donny Drumpf! 

Now in my head it all looks like this

ROUTE 66

I guess it may not be like this now ( or certainly parts may have improved but this depressed me no end!)

no credit given! If you know otherwise please let me know and I will post the source and photographer

again think I found it and its from

For Brother Jobe . . . . 

Chris Youlden has died of bronchial pneumonia at the age of 82, on April 4th, 2025. Youlden is best known for his stint as the distinctive blues/rock singer and songwriter for Savoy Brown, over a quartet of albums considered to be their best, which drove them to the high watermark of their success between 1967 and 1970. He appeared on two albums in 1968, Getting to the Point, and Blue Matter. A Step Further was released the following year. The Youlden original “I’m Tired” produced Savoy Brown's first American hit single. Following the release of Raw Sienna (also released in 1969), Youlden departed the band to pursue a solo career. After two critically acclaimed solo albums with London Records failed to score with any significance—Nowhere Road (1973), and City Child (1974)—he slipped under the radar and rarely performed or recorded again
