I know of one Mudcatteer in Española, but that's near Los Alamos and a long way from Socorro. Maybe he'll surface and identify himself and give you some leads. I heard some great Native American and Mexican music in Santa Fe.
Bill and Bonnie Hearne have a regular gig in a classic old hotel in the center of Santa Fe - La Fonda, I think it is. Bill and Bonnie do a nice mix of Texas swing and folk and other stuff. Why dontcha tell him to enjoy some of the local music, Pete?
